When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Owners purchasing premises or equipment and comparing SBA structures.
  • Smaller SBA borrowers who can meet the promotion deadlines.

What to weigh carefully

  • The 504 bank loan may mature before its amortization schedule ends; ask about the remaining balance.
  • Do not rely on older size-standard examples on the product page; confirm current SBA eligibility with the bank.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Is the fee credit included in the written closing estimate?
  2. What is the 504 bank balloon balance and refinance plan?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
