When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Georgia businesses planning eligible fixed-asset acquisitions or improvements.

What to weigh carefully

  • The site’s older $15 million/$5 million size-test figures should not be treated as current SBA limits; confirm current SBA eligibility.
  • 504 financing is tied to eligible assets and occupancy requirements.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. What current SBA size, occupancy and equity requirements apply?
  2. Which bank will provide the first-lien portion?

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.

Alternatives to research
