Longer Repayment Terms • The 504 loan program can offer a loan term up to 25 years. A 20-year or 10-year SBA 504 loan are other options. • The bank portion of the financing typically has an amortization matching the 504 term/amortization, but can have a term as short as 10 years. • Longer repayment terms mean lower monthly payments, which can improve cash flow and reduce the overall cost of borrowing. By spreading the loan payments over a more extended period, the effective interest rate becomes lower, easing the financial burden on small business owners.
