SBA loans
SBA 7(a) loans are federally guaranteed term loans up to $5 million, designed for acquisition, working capital, equipment, and owner-occupied real estate. Chino's dairy-heritage industrial parks and Inland Empire logistics corridors produce steady cash flow that SBA underwriters reward with longer amortization and lower equity injection than conventional bank loans.
The guarantee reduces lender risk, which translates into terms you won't find on a standard commercial note. We see dairy-processing operations, tool-and-die shops, and cold-storage tenants in Chino use SBA 7(a) to buy their facilities outright, refinance seller notes, or fund a second shift of CNC equipment.
As a licensed broker, we prepare your SBA package, match you to lenders active in San Bernardino County, and shepherd the file from submission through closing. Our documentation-made-simple approach means you gather records once; we format them to SBA and lender standards so nothing comes back for revision.
We start with a use-of-funds outline and a three-year cash-flow story. Then we organize balance sheets, reconcile any gaps between tax returns and interim P&Ls, and draft the borrower narrative. When the lender orders an appraisal or environmental Phase I, we coordinate timing so you're not waiting on third-party reports.
Picture a second-generation machine shop on Pine Avenue. The owner wants to acquire the building and add a climate-controlled inspection bay. We gathered 36 months of financials, confirmed the lease term and rent roll, and submitted the package to three SBA lenders. One came back with a term sheet inside two weeks. The borrower brought 15% equity; the SBA guarantee covered the rest. No rate or approval promise, just organized documentation that underwriters could price.
