SBA 7A loans and lines of credit offer a great opportunity for business growth through mergers and acquisitions, equipment or building expansion, and working capital funding. The 7A programs allow for lower down payments, financing project soft costs and longer terms and amortizations to preserve cash flow and allow for investment in growth. SBA 7A can also be utilized for refinancing debt in certain circumstances and free up cash flow to keep a business on the right track.

At Bank of Kaukauna, we support the business growth initiatives of our customers by offering the full SBA menu of 7A products.

The SBA 504 bond program promotes long term, fixed rate financing for major fixed asseets (from equipment to Real Estate facilities) that promote growth and job creation. This program allows for less cash injection and longer term amortizations that traditional financing. The 504 program provides two facilities, one bank and one 504 bond. The bond note can be a fixed rate for 10-25 years depending on the purpose and collateral. Rates are very competitive and locking in for 25 years on a building purchase or expansion is very attractive. We partner with the WBD, Inc to deliver the 504 product and to learn more about 504 and see the current bond rates, visit their site at www.wbd.org.
