- Whether Business Expansion Funding Corporation is taking new SBA 504 projects today, or how it would treat a business like yours.
- The debenture on each project. The rows here carry the first-lien amount; debenture dollars are on record for the lender as a whole.
- Projects with a cancelled approval, and approvals not funded yet. They are left out of the projects here.
- The borrower, the address and every term beyond the term of the first lien. The public file does not show them.
