SBA 504 Loan Structure

How is an SBA 504 project structured?

SPEDCO works with the SBA to provide up to 40% of the total project cost. The participating lender normally finances at least 50% of the cost. The borrower typically puts down as little as 10% of the total project cost.

TOTAL CASH SAVINGS calculated using the assumption that the PRIME interest rate remains at the current level.  An increase in the PRIME interest rate would substantially INCREASE the TOTAL CASH SAVINGS.

The above is our best estimate with the information that is currently available.
