What we don't know
- Whether Southern Development Council 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.
SBA loans are on record by state only. Amounts are rounded to 2 significant figures and dates to the month. A 6-digit industry code is printed only where the SBA file holds 5 or more loans of the program in that state.
Every project here is an SBA 504 approval that names Southern Development Council as the Certified Development Company. Dollars in the list and the tables are first-lien amounts, lent by the first-lien lender on each project.
