The SBA 504 Loan Program is designed to help small businesses finance the purchase of commercial real estate and capital equipment for as little as 10% down with a fixed interest rate.


Colorado Lending Source is a Certified Development Company, authorized by the US Small Business Administration to package, close, service and liquidate SBA 504 loans.

The SBA 7(a) loan program can be used by small businesses to finance “a variety of general business purposes”.  Most commonly the program is used to finance working capital, but it can also be utilized to finance commercial real estate acquisitions.

These loans are available to small businesses through banks. Colorado Lending Source is not a bank so we are not authorized by the SBA to administer the SBA 7(a). However, we are available to help banks and small businesses package these loans.
