What’s an SBA 504 loan?

The SBA is a federal agency that helps established businesses grow by financing large, long-term fixed assets, including commercial real estate and equipment. As a borrower, you’re not borrowing from the SBA; you’re borrowing from a financial institution like South Carolina Federal. We work with the SBA to provide loans to small business members like you.

• Longer loan amortizations—up to 20 years for commercial real estate purchases and 10 years for machinery and equipment
• Real estate and equipment purchases can be wrapped into the same loan
• Provides a long-term fixed interest rate.
