Hey there, modern entrepreneurs and family business owners! Yes, you, the ones who are too busy reinventing careers and making waves to worry about crunching numbers. We’ve got some news that is going to make your wallet do a happy dance.
Remember the SBA 504 loan? That fancy term for expanding your business, buying equipment and buildings, and generally reaching for the stars? Well, folks, it just got a whole lot more appealing.
We all know the old adage, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” But in this case, the SBA might just be serving up a buffet. As of October 1st, 2023 through September 30th, 2024, they have slashed their program fees for 504 loans. And by slashed, we mean decimated. Obliterated. Sent them packing.
If your loan is up to $1 million, the fee has not just been reduced, but completely removed. Yes, you read that right. Zero, zilch, nada. For loans between $1 million and $2 million, the fee has been cut by more than half. It’s like a clearance sale on loan fees!
Now, we know what you’re thinking. “What’s the catch?” Well, there are still some bank fees (a mere 0.5% applied to the first mortgage), but that’s small potatoes compared to the savings on offer here.
The SBA 504 program just became the equivalent of finding a designer outfit in a thrift store. So if you’re eyeing an SBA loan, now’s the time to pounce. Check with your banker and see how these changes could benefit you.
So, go forth and conquer, entrepreneurs. The seas of business may be turbulent, but together, we can chart a course to smooth sailing and tranquil waters. Now, who’s ready to make some waves?
