What is an SBA 504 Loan?

An SBA 504 loan is designed for fixed assets like owner-occupied commercial real estate and major equipment. It commonly uses a two-lender structure: a bank provides the first lien (often ~50%), a CDC provides the SBA-backed debenture in second position (often ~40%), and you contribute the down payment (often ~10%).
