One of the main benefits of the SBA business loan programs are the ability to go up to 85% loan to value on refinances and 90% on purchases. No other commercial mortgage even comes close to this. For example, conventional financing is now capped at 65% on refinances and 70% on purchases for very clean transactions. Those loan requests with "issues" are reduced to lower loan to values or are getting no offers at all.
Besides just the published guidelines, SBA financing is much more reliable in terms of actually funding, than conventional loans. Because of the guarantee that the government provides to SBA banks, they are that much more willing to actually lend/close. This reliability alone, coupled with the higher loan to value standards (in a declining property value market) should make the SBA business loans the top choice for business owners that need to get their loan closed.
SBA Financing
- SBA business loans are the most relaibale from of financing in the nation.
- 90% financing is still widely available on purchases and 85% on refinances.
- Special use properties, such as hotels, restaurant, automotive, etc are still getting funded via the SBA programs. Conventional financing is all but gone for special purpose properties.
- Rates and amortization schedules are very competitive.
- SBA loans are the best option available for business owners.
SBA Financing - Reputation
Many business owners are reluctant to go the SBA financing route because of the tainted reputation with the process and bureaucracy. However, most of this "brain damage" can be avoided. The key is to only work with banks and lenders that are officially approved by the SBA. If you work with a bank that does not hold the proper approvals/credentials, your loan will have to be underwritten twice. Once by the funding bank, than by the SBA... This is where the 6 months to close horror stories come from. All of our sources are officially approved by the SBA and your loan will only have to be underwritten once. 60 days to close is common, when you work with the right source.
Another common objection is that SBA financing is more expensive than the comparative conventional loans - and this one is true. The third party costs to do an SBA loan are typically 15% - 20% higher than a conventional loan. There are additional closing items, like packaging fees and attorney review fees that you do not normally see on conventional deals. Your desicion towards the costs, should be weighed against the benefits such as higher loan to values and viability of closing (meaning that the probability of closing an SBA business loan is easily twice as likely, in this market, than non SBA financing).
