What Is The SBA 504 Loan?
The SBA 504 Loan program is designed to provide small businesses with access to affordable, long-term financing for the purchase or improvement of fixed assets. The program is administered by Certified Development Companies (CDCs), which are non-profit organizations that work with the SBA and private sector lenders to provide financing to small businesses.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are long-term physical assets that a business owns and uses to produce income. These assets are not intended for resale and are expected to have a useful life of more than one year.
Examples Of Fixed Assets
Examples of fixed assets include real estate, buildings, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment, intellectual property, artwork, and vehicles just to name a few.
