BORROWER EQUITY

  • Borrower typically provides a 10% down payment; however, loans for new businesses (less than 2-years) or for special-use facilities, such as hotels/gas stations, will require a 15% down payment OR 20% when the project is both new and special-use.  

What Collateral is Pledged?

Generally, just the project assets being financed. Personal guarantees are required from all 20% or more owners of the business.

Prepayment Penalty on 504 Loan 

Yes, you can pay off a 504 loan early; 504 loans with a 20/25-year term can be paid off with no penalty after the 10th year of the loan. Loans with a 10-year term can be paid off with no penalty after the 5th year of the loan. 

504 loans with a 20 or 25-year term will have a re-purchase premium (RP) during the first ten years of the loan. This is a declining premium, 10% annually, that is calculated based on the year of the loan, remaining balance, and interest rate. For example, if a debenture is repurchased in year 5, the repurchase premium would be as follows: RP = Balance x (Note Rate x .50). Similarly, the 10-year loan has a repurchase premium for the first five years, and a declining penalty of 20% annually.
