$850,000 MORTAGE REFINANCE & WORKING CAPITAL

Southend Capital Recent Closing
$850,000 MORTAGE REFINANCE & WORKING CAPITAL
Transaction Overview: Gas Station & C-Store
Gas stations and convenience stores are certainly not the preferred property types of most lenders, and certainly not most SBA lenders. At SECC however, our SBA program has no restricted industries or property types (other than those imposed by the SBA).
This borrower needed to pay off her current mortgage and obtain fresh working capital to assist in the expansion of her business, but finding a lender to cooperate was difficult. SECC was glad to be able to refinance her first mortgage, lower her monthly payment and provide her $60,200 of working capital to help jump start her 2017!
We were lucky again to have an excellent referral partner working with us on this transaction to help us get it to the finish line.
SBA Unrestricted Program
SECC offers an aggressive SBA loan program priced at a maximum annual interest rate of 6.25%, amortized over 10 years (25 years, if the business has available real estate collateral). The program features one affordable monthly payment and often no prepayment penalty. SECC can consolidate a business owner’s expensive merchant cash advances or business debt, remedy stifling business issues, provide expansion or purchase funds and offer unrestricted working capital to assist with new growth and other business needs. SECC imposes few business-type restrictions, will consider borrower credit down to 580 (or lower), can work with past borrower bankruptcies or foreclosures, and will fund from $250,000 to $5,000,000 in all 50 states. We only need one year of tax returns to qualify a business and we'll even consider startups.
