Term Loans* are an excellent source of funding for purchasing equipment and other fixed assets or for obtaining permanent working capital. They are designed for intermediate term borrowing needs. Repayment is based on the life of the asset and your company’s cash flow.

Term loans are a good way of quickly increasing capital in order to raise your business’ supply capabilities or range.

As part of our commitment to serving our local businesses, First Minnetonka City Bank offers the complete range of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) programs. Whether it’s a SBA 7(a) or SBA 504 loan, they can have great advantages over conventional loans, including:

• Long repayment terms. This means lower monthly payments.
• Lower down payments. Makes upfront costs more affordable.

Virtually any business purpose can qualify for a SBA guaranteed loan, including:

• Commercial real estate purchase
• Construction
• Business acquisition or expansion
• Equipment or inventory purchase
• Refinance
• Working capital

First Minnetonka City Bank and the SBA offer two separate, but equally important loan programs:

Basic 7(a) Loan Guaranty*

Customer: For-profit small businesses

Function: Serves as the SBA’s primary business loan program to help qualified small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels.

It’s also the agency’s most flexible business loan program, since financing under this program can be guaranteed for a variety of general business purposes.

Loan proceeds can be used for most sound business purposes including working capital, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, land and building (including purchase, renovation and new construction), leasehold improvements, and debt refinancing (under special conditions).

Loan maturity is up to 10 years for working capital and generally up to 25 years for fixed assets. The maximum SBA guaranteed loan is currently $2,000,000.

Certified Development Company (CDC), a 504 Loan Program*

Customer: For-profit small businesses requiring “brick and mortar” financing.

Function: Provides long-term, fixed-rate financing to small businesses to acquire real estate or machinery or equipment for expansion or modernization. Typically a 504 project includes a loan secured from a private-sector lender with a senior lien, a loan secured from a CDC (funded by a 100 percent SBA-guaranteed debenture) with a junior lien covering up to 40 percent of the total cost, and a contribution of at least 10 percent equity from the borrower. The maximum SBA debenture generally is $1 million (and up to $1.3 million in some cases).

First Minnetonka City Bank offers two types:

• Commercial Letters of Credit – used to facilitate trading activity between businesses.
