SBA 504
The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) created the 504 loan program in 1980 to provide financing for successful, growing small and medium-sized businesses.
Loan proceeds can be used to purchase, renovate or construct commercial real estate properties, or for the acquisition of equipment that has a life expectancy of 10 years or more.
Benefits of 504
