Answer these questions to find out if your business is eligible:

  • Are you a for-profit business?
  • Has your average net profit after taxes been less than $5 million during the previous two year's tax returns?
  • Will this loan be used to finance the acquisition, construction or renovation of real estate or the purchase of equipment?
  • If the loan is used to purchase a building, will your business occupy at least 51% of the space?
  • If the loan will be used for ground-up construction, will your business occupy at least 60% of the building now and 80% long-term?
  • All owners of 20% or more of your business, and a real estate holding company if it is formed, must be willing to guarantee the loan.

If you answered YES to all of these questions, you are likely eligible for a 504 loan.
