The SBA 504 loan program already offers unparalleled affordability for small businesses by offering 10- or 20 year terms. In order to make it possible for more small businesses to access financing for owner-occupied commercial real estate, large equipment purchases and/or debt refinance, the SBA has officially added a 25 year term option to the 504 loan program.
Now, business owners nationwide, including those served by The 504 Company in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, can receive below-market interest rates and up to 90% financing with even longer terms.
Here are some important details about the new 25 year debenture:
- The 25 year term is available for all loans approved after April 2, 2018. The terms for loans approved before this date may not be extended.
- The term of the bank first mortgage/lien must be at least 10 years. (The bank does not need to match the 504 loan amortization).
- There has not been any information released regarding interest rates for the 25-year term. We will provide information on interest rates when it is made available.
The availability of the 25-year term greatly enhances the existing benefits of the
SBA 504 loan program, which include up to 90% financing and fixed interest rates
(an important factor in today’s rising rate environment).
If you have questions about the new 25 year term, or have a client who may benefit from it, please get in touch with your The 504 Company loan officer, or find the loan officer near you here. We are looking forward to
