Obtain another 504 Loan?

Many 504 borrowers have obtained second or third 504 Loans to finance additional locations, expand an existing location, or purchase machinery and equipment. Subsequent applications are simplified since we already have an active file of information, and your loan request can be processed with a minimum of paperwork.
Contact us to find out about another 504 Loan.

Find out my loan balance?

Check the loan amortization schedule provided to you after closing. If you can’t locate the amortization schedule, contact us for a copy.

Find out the amount of interest paid on my loan?

Annually, Form 1098 is provided to the borrowing entity stating the interest paid on the loan for the most recent calendar year. Alternatively, you can check the loan amortization schedule provided to you after closing. If you can’t locate the loan amortization schedule, contact us for a copy.

Change my automatic payment to a new account?

A new ACH Form is needed. Contact us by e-mail and we will forward the ACH Form to you. A copy of a voided check from the new account will need to be attached to the completed ACH Form. You can return the information to us by FAX or e-mail.

Change my address or other information?

Contact us by e-mail, FAX or phone to provide the updated information.

Prepay my loan?

Remember that your 504 Loan can be assumed. 504 Loans are funded via the sale of bonds which requires a slightly different payoff process than a typical bank loan. Partial prepayments are not accepted.

If you have an SBA 504 Loan:

  • We must have 45 days written notice that the loan is going to prepay.
  • 504 Loans can only be prepaid on the 3rd Thursday of every month.
  • A $1,000 good faith deposit is required to lock in your prepayment date and is not refundable if your loan does not payoff. The deposit is due 10 days prior to the scheduled prepayment date.
  • All payoffs and deposits are made by wire transfer.
  • Prepayment premiums may apply. Premium levels decline at every loan anniversary date and are eliminated once half of the term has passed (i.e., after 10 years, there is no prepayment premium for a 20 year loan).

If you have an SBA 503 Loan:

  • We must have 45 days written notice that the loan is going to prepay.
  • 503 loans can only be prepaid on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month except November and December (1st and 3rd Thursdays due to holidays).
  • If your loan funded after June, 1985, a $1,000 good faith deposit is required to lock in your prepayment date and is not refundable if your loan does not payoff. The deposit is due 10 days prior to the scheduled prepayment date.
  • All payoffs and deposits are made by wire transfer
  • Payoff may include a prepayment premium or discount, depending on the note rate and current interest rates.

PLEASE CONTACT US RIGHT AWAY IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PREPAYING YOUR LOAN.
