For borrowers SBA 504 Loans make it possible to leverage more dollars than through standard loans. Often the borrower has to come up with just ten percent of the total project dollars. For lenders there’s incentive to participate because the program gives them first collateral position, allowing them to consider somewhat risky projects they might not be able to think about otherwise.
