Purchasing Real Estate with SBA 504 Loans versus 7(a) Loans

At Community Business Finance, we offer both popular SBA loan guarantee programs: 504 and 7(a). While both programs require in depth business plans, they are designed for different business needs, with different goals in mind. The 504 loan is intended for economic development; therefore, its use is restricted to real estate and fixed asset purchases, as these promote job creation. The 7(a) loan can be used for working capital for almost any business expense.
