SBA loans
SBA loans are government-backed financing products that let lenders offer longer repayment windows and smaller equity injections than conventional bank loans. The Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of each loan, which reduces lender risk and opens the door for newer companies or owners buying their first building.
West Columbia sits along the Congaree River across from downtown Columbia, home to manufacturers, medical offices along Sunset Boulevard, and retail clusters near the Riverwalk. SBA 7(a) loans fund acquisitions, tenant improvements, and inventory. SBA 504 loans finance owner-occupied commercial real estate and heavy equipment with fixed rates and terms stretching twenty years or more.
Silverstone Lenders is a broker, not a lender. We shop your application to multiple SBA-preferred lenders, compare their term sheets, and explain every line item so you know what you're signing.
We pull your financials, draft the narrative, and assemble tax returns, bank statements, and projections into the SBA package. Then we send it to lenders who know the West Columbia market and understand businesses near the Airport Boulevard corridor or the State Street industrial zone.
You get a single point of contact instead of calling five banks yourself. We translate underwriter questions, negotiate where we can, and keep the file moving until closing.
A machine shop owner near the intersection of Charleston Highway and I-26 wanted to buy the building he'd leased for a decade. He needed patient capital and a competitive structure. We brokered an SBA 504 loan that split the purchase between a bank first mortgage and a CDC second loan. The owner brought equity, locked a fixed rate on the CDC piece, and kept cash reserves for payroll during seasonal dips.
No two deals look identical. We shape the SBA loan request around your balance sheet and the asset you're financing.
