SBA 504 Loan Program:

The CDC 504 Loan Program provides growing businesses with long-term, below-market, fixed-rate loans to purchase real estate, build, expand, renovate or make leasehold improvements to buildings, or purchase machinery and equipment. The program covers up to 40% of the total cost of a project.

7(A) Loan Guaranty Program:

The 7(A) Loan Guaranty Program provides loans to small businesses unable to secure financing on reasonable terms. The program operates through private lenders but guarantees the loans.
