The SBA 504 Green Loan provides for up to 25 year terms at below market, fixed interest rates. Now, the CARES Act is providing funds in the form of temporary payment relief for up to six months and waiving of certain fees that make this loan an even more attractive option.

In this video, our Director of Sales, Lewis Butler, has a conversation with Financial Analyst, Shuting Zhang, CFA, to explain how the 504 Green Loan works, who might benefit the most from it, and what restrictions apply.
