504 Case Study – New Construction
A widget manufacturer that has been leasing space wants to construct a building to facilitate business expansion.
| Purchase Land | $500,000 |
| Construct Building | $1,500,000 |
| Purchase Furniture & Fixtures | $250,000 |
| Soft Costs* | $150,000 |
| Total | $2,400,000 |
If a bank was willing to finance the project conventionally, it would typically lend up to 80% of the project costs at a floating interest rate with a 15 year amortization and a balloon after three to five years. However, utilizing the 504 Loan Program, up to 90% of the project costs can be financed. The bank lends up to 50%, thereby reducing its risk and corresponding interest rate. Growth Corp lends up to 40% at a fixed rate for 20 years, with a down payment of only 10% from the borrower.
| Conventional | With 504 | |
| Bank | $1,920,000 | $1,200,000 |
| Growth Corp | $0 | $960,000 |
| Borrower | $480,000 | $240,000 |
