SBA Creates Secondary Market Guarantee Program for 504 First Mortgage Loan Pools

Posted on by

Regulations published today by the U.S. Small Business Administration
will create a secondary market guarantee program to provide greater
liquidity for lenders and expand access to capital for small businesses.
Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the new
program would encourage sales into the secondary market of the “first
mortgage” portion of small business financing made possible through the
SBA’s 504 Certified Development Company (CDC) program. As a result of
the economic recession and the disruption in the credit markets, there
has been a significant decline in secondary market activity for 504
first mortgage loans.
“This new program will stimulate activity in the secondary market,
ensuring lenders have a place to sell first mortgage loans on their
books and in turn have liquidity to make more loans to small
businesses,” SBA Administrator Karen Mills said. “This is another tool
in our Recovery toolbox that will expand access to the capital small
businesses need to drive economic growth and create jobs.”
The 504 CDC program provides credit for the purchase of real estate and
other fixed assets tied to a business’ expansion. Financing under the
program includes three components: 1) a first mortgage or lien, which is
made by a private commercial lender for 50 percent of the total project
and does not come with a government guarantee, 2) a second mortgage or
lien, which is made by a CDC for 40 percent of the total project and
guaranteed fully by the SBA, and 3) borrower equity for the remaining 10
percent of the total project.
Under the new program, portions of eligible 504 first mortgages pooled
by originators or broker dealers could be sold with an SBA guarantee to
third-party investors in the secondary market. Lenders will retain at
least 15 percent of each individual loan, pool originators will assume 5
percent of the risk, and the SBA will guarantee the remaining 80
percent. To be eligible to be included in a pool, the first mortgage
must be associated with a 504 loan disbursed on or after Feb. 17, 2009.
The program will be in place until Feb. 16, 2011, or until $3 billion in
new pools are created, whichever occurs first.
SBA will begin accepting applications to become a pool originator from
banks and broker dealers immediately, and expects to be operational for
the settlement of pools in about 60 days.
For more information, lenders or broker/dealers can contact James W.
Hammersley, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Policy and Strategic
Planning at [email protected].
