SBA loans
SBA loans blend government backing with bank underwriting to reduce lender risk, which typically translates into extended amortizations and reduced equity injections. The SBA 7(a) program covers working capital, equipment purchases, and owner-occupied real estate up to $5 million, while the 504 loan finances fixed assets through a three-party structure. Because the Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of each note, lenders price these facilities more competitively than they would a straight commercial loan of similar size and tenure.
Christiana's mix of agricultural suppliers, feed stores, and small manufacturers along Shelbyville Pike often need capital that stretches ten or twenty-five years rather than five. Stonecroft Credit walks you through every line of the SBA term sheet so you understand origination steps, guarantee fees, and prepayment provisions before you sign.
SBA loans
We start by reviewing your last three years of tax returns, interim profit-and-loss statements, and a simple use-of-proceeds memo. From there we match your profile to SBA Preferred Lenders and community banks that understand Christiana's economy. You receive side-by-side term summaries that spell out closing costs, monthly payments under different amortization schedules, and any collateral requirements. Once you select a lender, we coordinate documentation, answer underwriter questions, and keep your file moving toward closing.
### A Christiana Scenario: Feed-Store Expansion
A family-run feed store south of Christiana wanted to add a 4,000-square-foot warehouse and refrigerated bay for veterinary supplies. The owners had strong cash flow but limited liquid reserves. Stonecroft Credit structured an SBA 504 loan pairing a bank first mortgage with a Certified Development Company second note, reducing the required down payment and locking a fixed rate on the CDC tranche. The broker fee and all third-party costs were disclosed in a single settlement statement before the application moved forward.
SBA loans
SBA loans carry guarantee fees, servicing fees, and sometimes packaging fees that conventional loans do not. We itemize each charge, explain which party collects it, and show you the effective all-in cost over the full term. That clarity helps you compare an SBA 7(a) against a traditional term loan or a commercial real estate package without guessing at hidden line items.
