Typical Financing Structure
Through this unique public-private partnership, SBA 504 loans are financed in part by a bank (50% of the total loan), in part by B:Side Capital on behalf of SBA (up to 40% of the total loan), and in part by the business owner (10%, 15%, or 20% depending on the type of business and if it’s a startup).
Benefits:
Low down payment of 10-20%, freeing up working capital and money for operational expenses
Long-term fixed interest rates from 10, 20, or 25 years depending on the project
Up to 90% of total project costs can be financed
Lender is typically only responsible for 50% of the total project financing in the 1st lien position and low Loan-to-Value strengthens private lender’s loan portfolio
Secondary market provides additional income opportunities
No maximum loan amount for the bank’s portion of the loan so it’s flexible to fit a variety of project scopes (Note: SBA 504 is capped at $5.5 million)
Professional fees and interim financing costs can be rolled into total project financing
Standalone Refinance and Refinance with Expansion Programs
The SBA 504 Refinance Loan program is an opportunity for small businesses owners to refinance their existing commercial real estate loan, which functions under similar terms as a typical SBA 504 loan program. Business owners are able to free up their trapped equity. For lenders, these programs provide the ability to minimize risk by limiting your bank’s exposure to 50% of the total project costs and generate new fee income coupled with a quality loan portfolio.
