Commercial Financing Details for Long-Term Care Facilities
With lower rates and longer repayment terms, SBA 7(a) loans are an ideal commercial financing option for most long-term care facilities. From nursing homes to skilled nursing centers, to residential group homes and adult daycare facilities for seniors, you can use an SBA 7(a) loan to finance it.
As a preferred SBA lender, we can approve loan applications in house, accelerating your time to funding. And unlike like other SBA lenders, we can fund larger projects up to $10M with a creative combination of conventional financing, SBA 7(a) and the USDA’s B&I loan programs.
Further, the 7(a) loan has an intentionally short prepayment penalty: 5% in the first year, 3% in the second year and 1% in the third. Borrowers can take advantage of this short prepayment period to quickly and easily fund their project with a 7(a) loan and keep other loan options open for later.
With SBA 7(a) Financing Get:
- Rates at, or below prime + 2.75%
- Up to 85% loan-to-value (LTV)
- Up to $10M in funding
- Terms up to 25 years
- No balloon payments
- No application fees

Frequently Asked Questions for Long-Term Care Financing
How does blending SBA 7(a) and conventional financing work?
First, the bank typically funds a portion of the transaction using a $5M SBA 7(a) loan.

These two bank loans are typically in a Pari-Passu structure, which are in equal senior lien positions
