Since its launch last July, the 25-year term option for Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans hit a milestone of over $1 billion in fundings this month.
Spread over the longer term, small business borrowers in June took advantage of the lowest ever 25-year full-term effective interest rate of 4.09% (Prime -140 bps). Over the course of the last year, the 25-year effective rate was approximately 4.96% on average, or just 9 basis points above the 20-year fixed rate.
The 25-year option, in addition to 10- and 20-year terms, reflects a face value of $1.04 billion in total lending dollars to date. The lending program marked its first funding in July of 2018 and in its final month of the first-year launch, June 2019 figures indicate a total of 1,289 fixed rate 504 loans to small businesses throughout the country.
The SBA 504 Loan Program provides up to 90% financing at below-market, fixed interest rates and long amortization terms up to 25 years for the purchase of major fixed assets, such as owner-occupied commercial real estate, renovations, new construction, energy efficient “green” initiatives and/or fixed heavy duty machinery and equipment, as well as the refinance of commercial mortgage and other business debt with or without a cash-out option.
Under a typical 504 loan structure, a commercial lending partner provides financing for 50% of the 504 loan and takes a first lien position; Florida First Capital/SBA provides 40% of the project financing and takes a second lien position; and the borrower provides a down payment of just 10% in most cases.
504 loans provide up to $5 million of aggregate SBA eligibility on standard 504 projects; up to $5.5 million per 504 energy efficient green project not exceed $16.5 million in the aggregate; and up to $5.5 million per eligible small manufacturing project with no limit on total SBA dollars available. These are SBA 2nd mortgage loan portions only; there is no limit on overall project dollar size.
