SBA 504 Loans: An Ideal Fit for Assisted Living Communities

The SBA 504 loan is a powerful financing tool that can help business owners purchase, construct, or renovate assisted living communities. With a 504 loan, borrowers can secure up to $5 million in financing, with a maximum of $5.5 million available for projects that meet the SBA’s Go Green criteria.

There are many benefits to using an SBA 504 loan for assisted living communities. First, 504 loans offer long-term, fixed-rate financing, which can help borrowers budget for the future. Second, 504 loans require only a 10% down payment, which can save borrowers significant money. Third, 504 loans are backed by the SBA, which can make them more attractive to lenders.

SBA 504 loans can be used for a variety of purposes in assisted living communities, including:

  • Purchasing land and buildings

  • Financing construction or renovation

  • Purchasing equipment

  • Making energy-efficient improvements

If you are considering financing an assisted living community, an SBA 504 loan is a great option to consider. With its long-term financing, low down payment, and SBA backing, a 504 loan can help you build or improve your assisted living community and achieve your business goals.

  • New construction: SBA 504 loans can be used to finance the purchase of land, construction costs, and equipment for new assisted living communities.

  • Renovations and remodels: SBA 504 loans can also be used to finance renovations and remodels of existing assisted living communities. This can include adding new wings, expanding medical services, adding more equipment, or remodeling rooms to make them more accessible.

  • Go Green program: The SBA’s Go Green program offers additional funding for assisted living communities that implement energy-efficient improvements. This can include replacing old equipment with more efficient models, installing solar panels, or making other changes to reduce energy consumption.

For those looking to construct or enhance an assisted living community, the SBA provides a maximum loan amount of $5 million, which increases to $5.5 million if implementing green efficiencies is a priority. While there is no limit on the total project cost, the loan can be utilized for various purposes:

New Construction:

  • Acquiring land for the building and surrounding recreational areas.

  • Covering expenses related to materials, labor, and equipment with a service life of 10 or more years, such as bed lifts, elevators, and emergency defibrillators.

  • Funding essential assisted infrastructural elements like wheelchairs, patient call systems, and specialized HVAC systems designed for resident comfort.

Renovations and Remodels:

  • Financing renovations and remodeling of existing assisted living communities, including adding wings or expanding medical services to reduce hospital visits.

  • Investing in additional equipment to accommodate a growing resident population and remodeling rooms for improved accessibility.

  • Expanding food service and prep areas to cater to more residents and diversifying recreational offerings.

  • Establishing rehab facilities connected to existing buildings or on the current campus.

Boosting Funding for Assisted Living

Qualified communities can enhance their funding opportunities by participating in the SBA’s Go Green program. This program raises the SBA’s maximum contribution from $5 million to $5.5 million per project. Business owners can potentially receive up to $16.5 million across multiple projects by meeting specific criteria:

Energy Efficiency Requirements:

  • Demonstrating a reduction in building energy use by 10%.

  • Purchasing a new building that will utilize 10% less energy.

  • Replacing 10% of the community’s current energy consumption with renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or geothermal power.
