TMC turned 104 loans around in an average of 5.0 days, compared to a national average of 7.7 days. The average is based on the six-month period ending on April 30, 2016.

“In the real estate business, you are working within a short window of time,” says world-renown Chef Charles Phan, who owns the James Beard award-winning The Slanted Door and other iconic California restaurants. “In a hot market like San Francisco, I can’t tell someone I need six months. I need the right person to get the job done and that’s TMC. Working with TMC was like having an expert field guide taking you thought a thick jungle,” Phan said.

“Our loan experts act as advocates for the business owner with the SBA,” Morrison said. “They know that a quick close can make a big difference in a hot market. We can prequalify borrowers in 24 hours and have been able to close within 30 days. Real estate deals can be complex. Our clients appreciate TMC’s experience in the market. It pays to work with experts who see a lot of deals, know what it takes to move forward quickly and can deliver fast approvals.”

TMC is the No. 1 SBA 504 lender in Northern California and Southern Nevada. In the San Francisco Bay Area, TMC has ranked as the No. 1 SBA 504 lender in both dollar-volume and number of loans for decades. In Sacramento, TMC is the largest lender by volume for all SBA loans for the current fiscal year, through April 30, 2016.

About SBA 504 real estate loans

The Small Business Administration 504 loan program allows small-business owners to finance commercial real estate and other fixed assets with long-term, below-market, fixed interest rates. SBA 504 loans can be used to finance the total project cost (TPC), which can include the purchase price, construction/renovations, equipment, soft costs and closing costs. A typical 504 loan project requires a down payment of only 10 percent of the TPC from the borrower, with the remaining amount split between a first mortgage provided by a commercial lender and a second mortgage provided by a certified development company (CDC). By enabling owners to keep their capital working to grow the business and create jobs, the 504 program provides businesses and communities long-term stability. Business owners can confirm they meet the qualifications for an SBA 504 loan by visiting the TMC Financing website.
