MCDC Programs
SBA 504 Loan
Typically used for business expansion, the SBA 504 loan offers long-term, fixed-rate financing for the acquisition of fixed assets, such as real estate and equipment. To finance the loan, MCDC partners with a commercial lender to provide a second lien for up to 40 percent of the total project. The commercial lender funds 50 percent or more of the project and the small business pays at least 10 percent in the form of a down payment.
- 504 loans are capped at $5 million, however total projects range from $250,000 to over $20 million.
SBA 7(a) Loan
Granted by a business lender and partially guaranteed by the federal government, SBA 7(a) loans are a great fit for business acquisitions. They require little or no down payment and offer tremendous flexibility. As long as the use of the funds relates to the business, the loan can be used for just about anything.
- SBA 7(a) loans are capped at $5 million and will be administered by MCDC throughout the term of the loan.

MCDC is not a lender, but we work alongside many qualified, experienced lenders in order to assist Michigan businesses. Since 1982, we have worked to promote small businesses to help grow the economy here in Michigan. Businesses not only serve the public, but they also provide needed jobs to Michigan residents, they infuse the state coffers with tax dollars and they improve the local standard of living.
Whether you have plans to acquire a business or expand the business you already have, MCDC can help you apply for an SBA loan in Michigan. We match you with an experienced lender who can assist you with getting an SBA 504 or SBA 7(a) loan for your business needs.
Some ways business owners use an SBA 504 loan is to buy machinery, equipment, furniture, buildings or land. Additionally, you can use 504 loan money to construct a building. With an SBA 7(a) loan, you can also buy furniture, fixtures and land as with an SBA 504, but you can also use the money to start or buy a business or refinance debt. When you apply for an SBA loan in Michigan, we’ll help you decide which type of loan would better suit your purposes.
We operate seven offices across the state in effort to serve all residents interested in buying, establishing or expanding a small business in Michigan.
