Loan Types
Requirements to obtain 0% down
1. Must be owner occupied Commercial Real Estate (see below)
2. Per SBA, owner occupied is described as: If you already own or you purchase an existing building owner/borrower must occupy at least 51% of the existing building. If the loan is for ground up construction you must occupy at least 80% of the new building.
3. Loan includes land, building, improvements, closing cost, and other borrowing needs such as equipment, machinery, office furniture, working capital, etc. up to the maximum allowed by SBA policy.
4. SBA structured this loan to appeal to the Manufacturing & Distribution Companies.
5. Distribution Industry – example that qualifies for 100% financing: An auto parts distribution business where the owner may supply auto parts to dealers and/or the public. Owner/Borrower would own the building and business, owner would work in the business and it would be owners primary livelihood. Owner will occupy at least 51% of the building if it is an existing building and at least 80% if the loan was to construct a new building. There is not a minimum or maximum number of employees. Substitute auto parts for another product and the eligibility list continues.
6. Manufacturing – Applies to all manufacturing. There is no limit on the number of employees (small or large). As stated in #5 above the owner/borrowers must occupy a minimum of 51% of an existing building and 80% of a new building. Example, should you have a manufacturing plant making gadgets in a plant that was an existing building when the business started you only have to occupy 51% or more to qualify…..if you built the building you would be required by SBA to occupy 80% or more of the building. Substitute the above “gadgets” for say pots and pans or other products and the eligibility list will continue to expand.
7. To summarize: The 100% loan is available for general purpose owner/user of commercial real estate in the Distribution or Manufacturing business but may qualify on rare occasions in other unique business circumstances.
