New England Certified Development Corporation (formerly known as MassCertified), an affiliate of BDC Capital, offers the popular SBA 504 program to businesses for owner-occupied property.

SBA 504 loans may be used for:

  • The purchase of land and buildings
  • New construction, renovation and leasehold improvements
  • Acquisition of machinery and equipment
  • New England Certified consistently receives the highest rating from the SBA

Borrowers Get Low-Cost Fixed Rates With Longer Terms And Low Down Payments. With an SBA 504 loan, a borrower obtains a first mortgage loan for usually 50% of the project from a bank. There is no maximum dollar amount.

New England Certified then provides a secondary loan (called a debenture) for the next 40%. Certain manufacturing entities are eligible for up to a $4 million debenture. All other industries are capped at $2 million. Up to 90% financing means the borrower typically provides only 10% equity for the project. Loan terms may extend as long as 20 years, and low fixed interest rates (fixed for 20 years for real estate; 10 years for equipment) are available on up to 40% of the project.

Banks Get Better Flexibility and Protection. These practical loans allow banks to offer complete financing for their customers, while maintaining a 50% loan-to-value position. If needed, BDC Capital can participate in the bank’s first mortgage, with an "early out" provision for the bank. New England Certified will:

  • Organize your application and complete your paperwork
  • Provide the financing
  • Process, close and service your loan

Eligibility. To qualify for this highly advantageous financing package from New England Certified, your business must:

  • Be located in one of these New England states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont
  • Operate for profit
  • Have a tangible net worth of $8.5 million or less
  • Have an average net profit of less than $3.0 million over the last two fiscal years
