What are SBA 504 and 7(a) Loans?

Both SBA 504 and 7(a) loans are similar, with a few distinctive features. While they can both be used to finance real estate, equipment, and construction, only the 7(a) loan can be used to fund working capital. Another significant difference between the two loans is in the source. You can get either loan through a private lender, but for a 504 loan, you have to work with a lender who has been certified by the SBA and is a member of the Certified Development Company.

To qualify for an SBA 504 or 7(a) loan, your business must be a for-profit officially registered and operating in the United States. The income requirements are also similar.
