Key Points For Banks

The Bank’s Role in the 504

  • Provides interim funding and sets rate for interim loan until the deed is recorded
  • Bank’s term must be at least 10 years for SBA 20- or 25-year terms, and the bank’s term must be at least 7 years for SBA 10-year terms.
  • Bank gets first lien on all project assets
  • Financing up to 95% of the appraised value on real estate (5% variance)
  • Size Standards:  a tangible net worth of less than $15 million and profits (after taxes) of less than $5 million (including affiliates)
  • Economic life of the asset to be financed needs to meet or exceed the loan term

Qualifying Projects:

Generally, any project involving the purchase, construction, or improvement of fixed assets is eligible.

Examples include:

  • Land and building acquisition
  • Construction and renovation
  • Purchase of heavy machinery or equipment
  • Refinancing real estate and equipment
  • Reasonable contingencies (up to 10 percent), furniture and fixtures, and soft costs (such professional fees and interest during construction) generally can be included. Investment and residential properties are not eligible.

Eligible Businesses:

  • Business must be for-profit
  • Any business structure (Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Corporation, LLC, LLP, etc.)
  • Any type of legitimate business: manufacturing, wholesale, service, professional service, retail or agricultural
  • By SBA definition the business must be small. This generally means less than $15 million in net worth and less than $5 million in annual after tax profits.

Ineligible Businesses:

  • Private restrictive clubs and speculative real estate investments
  • Businesses primarily engaged in lending (i.e. banks, credit unions, finance companies)
  • Insurance companies, although independent insurance agencies are eligible
