SBA 7a Loans for RV Parks

Using SBA 7a Loans to Finance RV Parks

SBA 7a loans could be an excellent option for RV park owners to acquire the capital, inventory, and operational costs they need to build their own RV parks.

RV parks have grown into a booming industry, serving nearly 50 million people in the US alone each year. With travel-related costs rising at a rapid rate, RV parks are among the least expensive lodging plays in the country.

HOW RV PARK OWNERS CAN USE SBA 7a LOANS

The SBA 7a loan program is the Small Business Administration's most popular loan program. It included assistance for businesses with special requirements and is the best option when real estate is part of a business purchase, but it can also be used for: 

  • Short- and long-term working capital 
  • Refinance current business debt 
  • Purchase furniture, fixtures, and supplies 

The maximum loan amount for a 7(a) loan is $5 million. Key eligibility factors are based on what the business does to earn its income, its credit history, and where the business operates. Your lender will help you figure out which type of loan is best suited for your needs.

THE BENEFITS OF SBA 7a LOANS FOR RV PARKS

Owners of RV parks love SBA 7a loans. If you plan on holding the property for the long run, the SBA 504 loan is clearly the winner; however, if you are buying a value-add type of facility, then an SBA 7(a) is the better option. There are pros and cons to both loans. Your best course of action, then, is to run your scenario by your qualified mortgage advisor.

What makes SBA 7a loans attractive to RV park owners is their competitive rates & fees, coupled with their ability to help business owners improve their properties, finance ongoing operations, and refinance existing debt (huge!).

THE RESTRICTIONS OF SBA 7a LOANS FOR THE RV PARKS BUSINESS

On the other hand, it is essential to keep in mind that using SBA 7a loans is limited to the above categories. If you are in need of a loan for working capital, you should consider applying for a loan through the SBA 7(a) loan program or another SBA loan, such as the SBA express loan or even an SBA microloan. Both of these options are offered by the Small Business Administration.
