• Amortization: 15, 20, 25 and 30-year options

SBA Loans for Day Care Centers

For many childcare center owners and operators, the SBA 7(a) or SBA 504 loan programs may be the most effective way to acquire commercial property. Unlike privately-insured loans, SBA loans allow daycare center owners to buy equipment and fund working capital. That makes these loans a lot more versatile for business owners who need more than just property to ignite business growth. While SBA financing has a lot of benefits, it also has stricter requirements than many other loans, including increased credit score requirements.
