Who this is for

What actually gets these funded

Owner-occupancy is the gate. SBA real estate programs require the business to occupy a majority of the property, with higher thresholds for new construction. The first question is how much space the business uses and how much is leased to others.

Cash flow of the business, not just the building. Lenders underwrite the operating company: tax returns, debt service coverage and time in business. Clean, current financials make the biggest difference.

SBA is one option among several. Conventional bank, credit union, private and alternative programs may fit better depending on timing, size and credit. We screen the file against all of them and show you the tradeoffs.

Program rules change. SBA guidelines are revised periodically. We check current program rules at the time we match, so you are not working from outdated eligibility information.

Common questions

What is an SBA 504 or 7(a) loan?

Government-guaranteed loan programs for small businesses. 504 loans are structured for owner-occupied real estate and major equipment; 7(a) loans are more flexible and can include working capital, acquisition and real estate.

What is the minimum loan size?

We place financing from $1,000,000.

Does the business have to occupy the property?

For SBA real estate programs, yes. The business generally must occupy a majority of existing buildings.

What if my business is newer?

Time in business affects which programs fit. Tell us the facts and we will show you what is available, including alternatives to SBA.
