Banks reduce their risk by partnering with BEFCOR and SBA 504 loans. Generally, banks finance 50% portion of the project cost, secured by a first lien on the financed property or equipment. BEFCOR, using SBA-backed 504 loans, finances 40%, secured by a subordinate lien. Businesses generally have a 10% down payment – which is much lower than the down payment for most conventional loans.   BEFCOR.com

The SBA 504 program encourages energy efficiency. If a small business project reduces energy consumption by at least 10%, or generates renewable energy, businesses may qualify for larger SBA 504 loan amounts.

Did you know the SBA 504 small business loans are uniquely structured: an SBA 504 loan from an organization like BEFCOR finances up to 40% of the project cost, and a traditional loan from a bank finances 50%. The remaining 10% typically comes from the business owner's equity. Win/Win/Win! BEFCOR.com
