How auto body & collision shops qualify for an SBA loan

SBA 7(a) loans are the most common path for auto body & collision shops financing acquiring a collision or body shop. They run up to $5M, fund up to 90% of a project, and amortize over 10 years for a business purchase or up to 25 years when real estate is included. SBA 504 loans pair a bank loan with a CDC debenture for owner occupied real estate and heavy equipment, typically at 10% down.

With 13,969 loans on record across 1,386 lenders and a 12.9% historical charge off rate, auto body & collision shops are a well understood credit to SBA lenders, but not every lender is active in this profession or comfortable with its deal structure.
