The SBA said nine banks are the first approved lenders for a new loan pool origination program that will assemble and sell pools of 504 program first mortgage loans to help jump start a secondary market.

Under the program, the SBA will provide a government guarantee on pools of portions of eligible 504 first mortgage loans assembled by approved pool originators to be sold to third-party investors. Lenders will retain at least 15% of each individual loan, pool originators will assume 5% of the risk, and the SBA will guarantee the remaining 80%.

Typically, a 504 project includes three elements: a loan or first mortgage secured with a senior lien from a private sector lender covering up to 50% of the project cost, a second mortgage secured with a junior lien from a certified development company backed by a 100% SBA-guaranteed debenture covering up to 40% of the cost, and a contribution of at least 10% equity from the small business borrower.
