SBA Micro Loans:

SBA 504 Loan Program:

The 504 Certified Development Company (CDC) program provides growing businesses with long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets, such as land, buildings, machinery and equipment. The CDC is a non-profit corporation set up to contribute to the economic growth of its community.  CDC's work in conjunction with the SBA and private sector lenders to provide small business financing.

EXAMPLE - for a $1,000,000 project, the borrower needs to provide 10% of the project costs ($100,000), the SBA/CDC contributes funding for 40% of the loan ($400,000) with the remianing 50% ($500,000) coming from a bank.

To be eligible, the business must be operated for profit and fall within the size standards set by the SBA. Under the 504 program, the business qualifies as small if it does not have a tangible net worth in excess of $7.5 million and does not have an average net income in excess of $2.5 million, after taxes, for the preceding two years.

504 Program benefits include:

* A minimal down payment by the small business owner, as low as 10%

* Long term financing, over 10-20 years, which enhances the cash flow of the company and avoids balloon payments, renegotiation of the loan and possibly higher interest rates and payments

* Attractive fixed interest rates on 504 debentures

Eligible 504 projects may borrow funds for:

* Land and/or building purchases

* New building construction and/or building renovation

* Leasehold improvements

Under the 504 program, loans cannot be made to businesses engaged in speculation or investment in rental properties.
