SBA 504 is the ultimate team effort
Typical SBA 504 loan structure
SBA 504 loans work a bit different, in a way that we like to think of as a team effort. A commercial bank, RBAC, and you all bring funds to the table to make your project happen. Don't have a banking relationship yet? No worries—we work with great partners and can make an introduction.
You contribute as little as 10% down (start ups and special cases may require a higher down payment)
RBAC provides an SBA 504 loan for 40% of your project costs
Your bank provides 50% to complete the financing

Will I qualify for a microloan?
The answer to whether you qualify for a Microloan? We figure that out on a case-by-case basis—contact us if you're interested. Here are some good-to-knows upfront:
You must be a for-profit small business. Nonprofits are eligible only if they are operating as a child care facility.
You can use your Microloan for almost any business purpose, including working capital, inventory, supplies, furniture, fixtures, or equipment. You cannot purchase real estate or fund personal expenses with a Microloan.
Credit score requirements are generally more flexible than banks, but you must show creditworthiness and the ability to repay your loan.
If you’ve had a past bankruptcy or have poor credit, but have a strong explanation (such as an illness or divorce), you may still be eligible for a loan.
Startups and existing businesses are eligible, but startups will be required to show a business plan and financial projections and evidence of industry experience.
Personal guarantees are required from all owners of 20% or more of the business.
Collateral is typically required, if it is available.
