Commercial Loans

We offer SBA financing and commercial real estate financing. We can offer referrals for smaller business loans, so please don’t hesitate to call us for your southern Oregon business loan needs.

SBA 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program

This is the SBA’s primary business loan program to help qualified small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels. It is also the agency’s most flexible business loan program, since financing under this program can be guaranteed for a variety of general business purposes.  

Loan proceeds can be used for most sound business purposes including working capital, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, land and building (including purchase, renovation and new construction), leasehold improvements, and debt refinancing (under special conditions). Loan maturity is up to 10 years for working capital and generally up to 25 years for fixed assets. 

SBA  504 Loan Program

Provides long-term, fixed-rate financing to small businesses to acquire real estate or machinery or equipment for expansion or modernization. Typically a 504 project includes a loan secured from a private-sector lender, such as a bank, with a senior lien, a loan secured from a Community Development Corporation (funded by a 100 percent SBA-guaranteed debenture) with a junior lien covering up to 40 percent of the total cost, and a contribution of at least 10 percent equity from the borrower. The maximum SBA debenture generally is $1 million (and up to $1.3 million in some cases).

Proceeds from 504 loans must be used for fixed asset projects such as: purchasing land and improvements, including existing buildings, grading, street improvements, utilities, parking lots and landscaping; construction of new facilities, or modernizing, renovating or converting existing facilities; or purchasing long-term machinery and equipment.

The 504 Program cannot be used for working capital or inventory, consolidating or repaying debt, or refinancing.

Commercial Real Estate Financing

We offer a variety of loans – from adjustable rate to fixed for 5- and 10-year periods. Loans can be anywhere in Oregon. Those along the I-5 corridor can be up to 80% Loan-To-Value, while those in outlying areas or along the Oregon coast are typically up to 70 to 75% LTVs. All loans must be real estate secured.
