$605,000 Business Loan - No Real Estate Collateral

Transaction Overview - Steel Fabrication, Co. 

Earlier in the year this borrower needed $122,100 of quick working capital and didn't have time to wait for an SBA loan. We provided his business working capital in a matter of days, and when he was ready, started him on the SBA takeout loan process.

We consolidated the balance of our private business loan, paid off additional business debt, provided $89,000 of fresh working capital and $370,000 for machinery and equipment. This loan was priced at 6.25% and amortized for 10 years.

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 debt or merchant cash advances, remedy stifling business issues, provide expansion 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.

Increased Loan Amounts To $5M on Non-Conforming Commercial Loans

South End Capital Increases Loan Limits to $5M; Expands Guidelines to Satisfy Market Demand

Small-balance non-conforming program now open to larger loan sizes and additional property types, at lower rates.

The response to our small private-money program has been so tremendous, we’ve boosted loan limits to $5 million, added eligible property types and lowered our rates.                  
 
South End Capital Corporation (SECC) has announced today that its highly successful small private-money program, launched this past April, will now assist borrowers seeking commercial real estate loans of $50,000 all the way up to $5,000,000—no longer limiting commercial real estate borrowers to loans under a half-million. (The SECC program is also known as the small non-conforming program.) As always, the funding is designed to accommodate borrowers with imperfect credit who are self-employed or seeking a swift and painless loan process.


According to SECC founder and Managing Director Noah Grayson, the firm will not only continue to offer private-money financing for hard-to-secure small loan sizes—and now, larger loans up to $5,000,000—but will provide financing for more property types and at improved rates. He stated, “The response to our private-money program has been so tremendous that we are now able to lower our rates to provide improved bankable pricing for ‘unbankable’ borrowers.”


Importantly, SECC can now consider single-family homes and two- to four-family apartment buildings, provided their use is for business or investment purposes. In addition, the firm can also review LTV (loan-to-value) requests up to 75 percent.


Added Grayson, “Borrowers will also be surprised to discover that, unlike conventional lenders, we can now underwrite many loan transactions based on stated information and verification of property information only—often no tax returns are required.”


SECC’s newly expanded nationwide private-money loan program has no borrower credit score minimum and no population restrictions; primary, secondary and tertiary markets are generally allowed. Most commercial property types qualify and rates start as low as 6.5% percent with no or low loan points. Loan closings can take place in as few as two to three weeks. Additional program criteria are available right now.


SECC welcomes both borrower and broker inquiries. The firm also offers referral fees to approved partners.
