SBA loans
SBA loans are partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which reduces lender risk and opens the door to financing that many community banks and credit unions would otherwise decline. The SBA 7(a) program covers up to $5 million for working capital, equipment, or owner-occupied real estate, while the 504 program finances fixed assets like warehouses or production facilities. Repayment periods stretch to 25 years for real estate and 10 years for equipment, spreading payments thin enough that cash flow remains stable. For Lomita businesses along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor or near the Lomita Boulevard industrial strip, this structure means you can invest in growth without draining monthly revenue.

Imagine a family-owned auto-repair facility on Lomita Boulevard wants to buy the building it has leased for a decade. The owner has three years of profitable tax returns and a lease-option agreement with the landlord. Scarletgate Loans would broker an SBA 504 loan, pairing a bank note with a Certified Development Company loan to cover up to 90 percent of the purchase price, leaving the owner to fund the balance through equity or seller carry-back. The longer amortization preserves cash for payroll and parts inventory while anchoring the business in Lomita's industrial corridor.
