Long-term, fixed rate financing of up to $5 million for major fixed assets.

The Massachusetts District Office started a new initiative, “504 of the Month” to highlight small businesses that have taken advantage of the SBA 504 loan program to purchase commercial real estate.  

The team visited a gourmet kitchen and catering company, Neillio's in the Town of Lexington and met with owner Kevin O’Neill, along with representatives from Leader Bank and New England CDC which helped Mr. O’Neill with buying the building the business has been located in since 2002.  

Learn more about the SBA 504: What is the 504 loan program?

A recent THRIVE Emerging Leaders program participant, Mr. O’Neill shared he learned about commercial real estate ownership and the SBA 504 program after meeting lenders and resource providers as part of the classes he took.
