Perfect for businesses planning multiple large projects at the same time: Starting July 4th, SBA guaranteed loans allow qualified borrowers to access up to $5 million through the 7(a) loan program and also up to $5 million through the 504 loan program, for a combined total of $10 million in SBA-backed financing. It also includes manufacturers, who right now can attain an unlimited number of 504 loans as long as each loan is tied to a separate project. Now they can also apply for $5 million through the 7(a) loan program. https://www.sba.gov/article/2026/05/18/sba-doubles-cumulative-7a-504-loan-limit-10-million

Built on solid ground, not financial pressure.

Michael Addesso Marble & Granite World was facing a looming balloon payment until they partnered with Seedcopa to refinance two properties through an SBA 504 loan—working with Peoples Security Bank & Trust to secure a lower fixed interest rate and pay off a high-interest business line of credit.

Now they’re focused on growing the business, not managing payments.
