Combining 504 and 7(a) into 1 program feat. Ken Rosenthal, Brooke Mirenda, & Mitch Fogel | Ep. 161
Manage episode 444513173 series 2772787
This week on The Art of SBA Lending, we’re bringing a big, new idea to the table: what if we could combine the SBA 7a and 504 programs into a single powerhouse loan program?
In this episode, Ray Drew and our panel of Art of SBA Contributors explore the possibility of merging these two essential programs to create what Ray calls the “SBA Centaur Loan.”
By taking the flexibility of the 7a program and pairing it with the affordability and stability of the 504, could we make SBA lending more accessible and efficient for small businesses?
Our expert panel dives into some critical questions, including:
The historical roots of 7a and 504: Why were two separate programs created, and do we still need both?
Potential benefits for lenders and borrowers: How could a unified program enhance small business lending and streamline the process?
Challenges and risks of a merged program: From secondary markets to regulatory impacts, what would a single program mean for the SBA community?
