“Throughout my career, my colleagues and I have done many SBA 504 loans with Chesapeake,  and have always been very pleased.

The “504” is a great loan product that simultaneously benefits both the Borrower and the Bank. Also our bank-examiners were always pleased to see that 504 loans were subordinate to Bank financing when they reviewed our “owner-occupied” commercial loan financing portfolio.

I highly recommend both the SBA 504 as a loan product and Chesapeake Business Finance as a provider. “

Jack G. Welborn, recently retired EVP and Chief Loan Officer for Old Line Bank (now WesBanco via acquisition)

504 Financing

Chesapeake provides 504 financing by issuing a SBA-guaranteed debenture for up to 40% of the total cost of the project. A commercial lender selected by the borrower (or referred by Chesapeake) provides financing for at least 50% of the project. The borrower provides the remaining 10% in the form of equity or subordinated debt. For new businesses and some special purpose buildings, the minimum investment form the borrower increases to 15% or 20%.
