3 Steps To Secure a Construction and Permanent Loan

Real World Case Studies     Business Loans     EBITDA Analysis    Newsletter Library


Step 1 – How Does The Borrower Qualify? Complete and submit your Last three years’ tax returns. If you have other closely held companies, you will need to provide financial and tax returns on the company or companies. Secure a Free Proforma  (prepared by your local car wash distributor) with revenue and earnings projections, how many cars you will wash each month, the traffic count for your location, and the estimated construction cost. (The Proforma is an invaluable tool)

Step 2 – Who Should The Borrower Consult With or Engage? Get acquainted with a local manufacturer rep familiar with your area. Confirm the City will allow you to construct a car wash on the property. Order an Environmental report to make sure the land is not contaminated and order a Certified Survey. Engage an Architect and Civil Engineering specializing in designing car washes. SBA-Capital provides Free Guidance.

Step 3 -What Role Does My General Contractor (GC) Play? Make sure your GC is well-qualified and has a history of performance. GC must have the financial capacity to complete your wash per the contract. Ask your GC to provide you with a list of the critical sub-contractors, and the GC must provide General Liability and Workman’s Comp. An itemized equipment list must be attached to your GC contract to ensure everyone, including the lender, understands the specific equipment included.

SBA-Capital provides Free Guidance on all of the above.   Business Financing is what we do  –  Creating Custom Solutions is who we are

What are the current SBA interest rates?

Real World Case Studies     Business Loans     EBITDA Analysis    Newsletter Library


The interest rate for the most often used SBA 7a loan is Prime Rate plus 2.5%. Today’s Prime Rate is 8.5% making the current rate for SBA 7a loans 11%. Your rate will adjust each quarter based on the movement of the prime rate. 

Because the above EBITDA of $817,210 is high for this wash,  The 15% interest rate qualifies for a loan with a 1.31 DCR

Conclusion: High EBITDA Earnings help mitigate high-interest rates

Should I select an SBA or conventional loan?

Real World Case Studies     Business Loans     EBITDA Analysis    Newsletter Library


Congress established SBA Business Loans to create jobs for our economy and assist borrowers who may not qualify for traditional bank loans requiring enormous equity contributions.

Lower equity and more extended repayment: Equity for SBA loans ranges from 10 to 20%, depending on your experience in the respective industry, and the loan will be for 25 years to help reduce your monthly payments. A typical conventional loan requires 30 to 35% equity and is usually only five to seven years in duration.

Experienced SBA Lender: Select an experienced banker throughout the SBA underwriting and closing process to make sure you secure the best possible loan for your short and long-term needs. A qualified, experienced lender will underwrite and process your loan expeditiously so you will enjoy a timely and desirable closing.

Do I qualify for an SBA Loan: Contact SBA-Capital, and we will evaluate your loan needs and immediately let you know if you meet the SBA requirements for the business loan you request.  Hershel at SBA-Capital for Free Guidance

Is equity required for my first loan?

Real World Case Studies     Business Loans     EBITDA Analysis    Newsletter Library


The equity required is 10% If you have owned a similar business. If you have never owned a business in this specific industry, SBA requires 20% equity. If you have equity in other business entities such as rent houses, etc., SBA will allow you to put 10% cash down and monetize up to 10%  of your rental property.

Assume you have a limited partner or partners: SBA considers anyone with less than 20% ownership a limited partner and anyone with 20% or more ownership a full partner. The limited partners can contribute most of the equity, assuming both limited and full partners agree in their partnership agreement. SBA does not require the “percent of equity contribution equates to the percent of ownership.” Full partners must sign the note, but limited partners have no personal liability.

Use Your IRA For SBA Loan Equity to Start or Expand Your Business and Increase Your Working Capital. The concept is one of the best-kept secrets in the industry and easy to accomplish, assuming you follow the correct procedure. SBA-Capital will provide information allowing you to access this resource. Use these funds to make investments, start your own business, plus raise working capital to operate your business.
