One of the SBA's primary loan programs, SBA 7(a) offers loans up to $5 million that can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- To purchase commercial real estate
- To purchase furniture and fixtures
- To purchase machinery and equipment
- To purchase additional inventory
- To refinance existing debt
The SBA CDC/504 Loan Program
The SBA CDC/504 Program involves Certified Development Companies, which partner with MECU to provide long-term, fixed-rate financing to small businesses to acquire real estate, machinery or equipment for expansion or modernization. Borrowers can typically finance up to 90% of eligible project costs with long-term, below-market, fixed interest rates.
