WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Dylan McCrory - SVP, Solutions, Principal, SiteREADYThe 504 program was the perfect fit for SiteREADY to help retain our operating capital and grow our business. The FBDC team was a pleasure to work with by helping us to get approved and closed quickly. We highly recommend them for your real estate project!
Jim Downey, US Ameribank
I like to use the 504 program when a client prefers to put less down on equipment or real estate. Part of the loan gets a great long term fixed rate and the fees can be financed. Florida Business Development Corp has a great team from top to bottom. They are always willing to answer any questions and I trust them to speak directly to my clients. Not only do they help during the approval and closing process they are there during the servicing of the loans as well. FBDC has a very knowledgeable staff and is a great resource to answer all of my SBA 504 questions.

We look forward to working with you on SBA 504 financing opportunities.
