This month on The Morning Blend, Centrust returned to the spotlight to share how SBA loans may be a game-changing solution for business owners ready to invest in commercial real estate.
Joining the segment was Tom Meyer, Executive Vice President of Community SBA Lending, who walked viewers through how these loans work, why more businesses are moving toward ownership, and how Centrust supports borrowers through every step of the process.
A pathway to ownership
Commercial real estate ownership may feel out of reach for many small-business owners—but SBA loans are helping change that. As Meyer explained, “The SBA 504 and 7(a) programs are designed to make ownership possible with lower down payments and longer terms, which helps preserve working capital and improve cash flow.”
With commercial rental rates continuing to rise and landlords tightening lease terms, more business owners are exploring the long-term value of owning their own space. Whether it’s a warehouse, retail location, office, or medical suite, SBA financing can help entrepreneurs gain control over their business environment and build equity along the way.
Centrust’s hands-on approach
As part of SmartBiz Bank, Centrust Bank brings deep expertise in SBA lending, with a local and relationship-driven approach. Meyer emphasized that the Centrust team doesn’t just process loans, they guide clients through the entire experience, from application to closing.
From start to finish, the Centrust SBA team is focused on education, responsiveness and aligning financing with the long-term vision of each business.
Whether you're tired of paying rent, looking to expand or planning for the future, commercial real estate ownership may be closer than you think. SBA loans offer the flexibility, affordability and structure to make it happen, and Centrust Bank is here to help you take the next step.
