What's right for your business?
Owning rather than leasing your commercial property can really pay off. For many small businesses, a monthly mortgage payment can be the same or less than a lease payment. And your SBA 504 fixed-rate loan payment won't increase annually - like your lease rate will. Owning, of course, also helps boost your equity, and the SBA 504 needs just a minimal down payment.
If you’re a healthy business whose expansion plans call for the investment and use of real estate or equipment, you may qualify for 90% financing through the SBA 504 Loan Program. If you are a start-up business, you can still qualify for an SBA 504 Loan for 85% financing.

| Advantages of 504 over Conventional Financing | |
|---|---|
| Low Down Payment as little as 10% |
Allows you to preserve your working capital. Most banks will lend only 70-80% of the appraised value of the project, but with a SBA 504 loan you can finance as much as 90%. |
| Fixed Rate on the SBA 504 portion | SBA's 40% portion of the loan is locked in at a low fixed rate. With a guaranteed monthly payment for the life of your loan, you can better plan and budget your finances. |
| Long Term | Capital CDC loans are for a 10 or 20-year period. Your bank or other lender holds the first lien on 50% of the loan. This usually means they will lend at a longer term, which reduces your monthly payment. |
| Low Interest Rate | The low interest rate from both Capital CDC and your bank or other lender make your project much more affordable than a typical collateralized bank loan. |
| Refinancing | You can refinance existing debt related to fixed assets if you also borrow money to finance more real estate or equipment for an expansion project. The total amount refinanced must be 50% or less of the total cost of the expansion. |
