Our Products at a Glance

SBA 504 -

The goal of the SBA 504 program is to create and retain jobs through long-term financing of real estate and equipment at a fixed, below-market interest rate. Businesses often have difficulty qualifying for traditional financing due to required down payments of 20 percent or more. Loans through the 504 program can finance 90 percent (504 loan plus third party lender loan) of a project’s cost for qualifying businesses, preserving cash flow during a longer repayment term.

Revolving Loan Funds -

These fixed-rate, 5-15 year term loans up to $250,000 are intended for small businesses who may not be able to obtain conventional funding or who need gap financing in conjunction with another commercial loan. They can be used for working capital, equipment, inventory, real estate and more.

SBA 7a Community Advantage -

The Community Advantage program is designed to provide a financing option for small business start‐ups in underserved communities. The SBA provides a 75 – 85% guarantee, providing participating lenders with more confidence in offering financing to riskier start‐up businesses. Community Advantage can be used to complement other loan programs.

Main Street -

This is designed for start-up and emerging businesses with microloan needs, providing loans up to $50,000 with unique rates and terms specially developed for this financing need that is often unavailable through conventional sources.
