Attention Small Business Owners: When your bank talks about financing a building or expansion, you may not always hear about all available options.

SBA 504 loans are designed to work with your bank, creating a structure that can:
✔ Support owner-occupied real estate purchases
✔ Finance renovations or construction
✔ Provide long-term, fixed-rate payments

You don’t have to navigate this on your own. BEFCOR helps explain the program, coordinate the process, and guide you from application through loan closing.

🔒 Locks in long-term payment stability
📈 Aligns with your long-term growth plans
🏗️ Supports assets you’ll use for years

The SBA 504 program was created for exactly these types of investments. BEFCOR helps small business owners look beyond short-term decisions and structure financing that supports lasting success.

Small Business Owners: Growth is exciting — but it can also drain your cash if financed the wrong way.

The SBA 504 program is built to help you:
💼 Preserve working capital
🏢 Invest in long-term assets like buildings and equipment
📉 Avoid large upfront cash down payments

Instead of tying up your liquidity, you may be able to keep more cash available for:
• Hiring
• Inventory
• Day-to-day operations

BEFCOR works with your lender to structure financing that supports both growth and stability.
