Long-term, fixed-rate financing for commercial real estate

The SBA 504 loan program offers long-term, fixed-rate funding for small business owners looking to purchase or build real estate or other major fixed assets.

With SBA 504, you can finance real estate — owner-occupied buildings, land, new construction, or renovations — under favorable terms designed to support business growth and stability.

Secure long-term, fixed-rate financing backed by the SBA.:

Loan amount: Up to $15 million for most borrowers; up to $15 million for certain qualified projects.

Typical structure: ~ 50% from a conventional lender, ~ 40% from the SBA/Certified Development Company, and ~ 10% borrower equity.

Loan term & repayment: 20- or 25-year terms for real estate; 10-year term if financing heavy equipment.

Interest rate: Fixed rate, typically tied to U.S. Treasury yields — giving predictable, stable payments over the life of the loan.

What you can finance: Land purchases, existing buildings, new construction, building expansions, renovations, long-life equipment and improvements (e.g. utilities, parking, landscaping).

What you cannot finance: Inventory, working capital, speculative investments, or rental-only real estate not used by your business.
