For example, based on a $5 million total project cost, the Bank would provide a 1^st mortgage of $2.5 million, the CDC would provide a 2^nd mortgage of $2 million, and the Borrower would provide a down payment of $500,000.

A Certified Development Company (CDC) is authorized by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide SBA 504 loans. The role of the CDC is to assist small and medium-sized businesses in acquiring 504 financing in partnership with a bank or private lender. The SBA requires that the application for every SBA 504 loan originate from a CDC.

There is no limit on the amount of the bank’s 1^st mortgage, and therefore no maximum total project cost. The maximum for the SBA/CDC 2^nd mortgage (typically 40% of the total project) is:

• $5,000,000 for most projects
• $5,500,000 for manufacturers or energy-saving projects under the Green Energy Program
