SBA ADVANTAGE ILLINOIS LOANS

As the number one SBA lender of the Advantage Illinois lending program, this is one area we know well. The Advantage Illinois program was created after the Great Recession to work with the state’s lending community and venture capitalists to help entrepreneurs and businesses start-up or expand, accelerating job creation and encouraging economic growth in Illinois.

Advantage Illinois loans are best utilized by growing companies with collateral shortfall. The employment base must be increased in the two years following loan approval. Loan amounts are a maximum of the lesser of 25 percent of a total project or $2 million. Loan types can be term loans or lines of credit.

SBA CDC/504 LOANS

SBA CDC/504 Loans are financed by working with Certified Development Companies (CDCs)—nonprofit corporations set up to contribute to the economic development of communities—and are used for the acquisition of new or used equipment or owner-occupied real estate when the borrower occupies a minimum 51 percent of total square footage. Through partnerships with SomerCor, Wessex and Growth Corp, we can provide local businesses with flexible terms and rates to finance major fixed assets, such as land, buildings and equipment. Loan amounts range between $750,000 and $10,000,000. Rates can be fixed or variable.
