How can the SBA help you?
Together, we'll put together a loan structure that works for your business, whatever the purpose. SBA 7[a] loans are a great fit for a variety of financing needs, such as:
- Business Acquisition or Partner Buy-out
- Commercial Real Estate Purchase or Refinance - up to 90% financing available
- New Construction and Renovations - up to 90% financing available
- Refinance Business Debt
- Proceeds can include working capital, inventory, franchise fees, soft costs and closing costs
The SBA 7[a] Loan program was designed to help you get the working capital you need to start, acquire, or expand your small business. Take advantage of lower down payment options, longer repayment terms, and more flexibility to drive your business forward.
SBA 7[a] Loan Features
- Longer terms for cash flow enhancement
- Low down payment requirements
- Increased liquidity for next opportunity
- Streamlined underwriting and closing process
- Loan terms up to 25 years for real-estate financing
- Loan terms up to 10 years for non real-estate
The eligibility requirements for a 504 loan are almost the same as for the 7(a) loan program, but the uses of the loan are different. The 504 loan can be used for a range of assets that promote business growth and job creation. These include the purchase or construction of:
- Existing buildings or land
- New facilities
- Long-term machinery and equipment
Since we opened our doors in 1893, we've been helping our local farmers succeed - and that continues to this day.

USDA Community Facilities Program
The REAP program provides grant funding and guaranteed loan financing to agricultural producers, along with rural small businesses for renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements.
