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.
