The SBA 504 Loan is a valuable tool for any lending institution aimed at helping small businesses grow and create jobs. The advantages for both the institution and borrower are numerous.
Advantages of the 504 Program for Lending Institution
Your 50% LTV position from the outset, and first position to collect if things go wrong, reduce your risk and allow you to take a few more chances on growing businesses.
Utilizing the program may allow you to do deals in excess of your legal lending limit. Additionally, WBD is the only participant you can find that is not interested in stealing your customer relationship.
Unlike the SBA 7(a) program, your staff does not need to have any SBA training or experience. WBD handles all of the SBA forms and contacts for you and your client.
Win more deals with the super competitive, long term fixed rates the 504 program offers.
Advantages for your Borrowers (even vs. the SBA 7(a) Program)

Long Terms! Up to 25 years
Fixed Rates! Our rates are not only low, but fixed for the life of the loan!
Less Money Down! Most often working with WBD will mean your customer will need only 10% down.
