SBA 504

A 504 may include two loans and three parties - but it is one project that has to line up perfectly. Lama AI keeps the bank, the CDC, and the borrower in a single workflow, so everything comes together without the endless coordination.

Frictionless Intake.

Borrowers and brokers submit a single application—Lama AI maps every field to the SBA form set, the CDC packet, and your internal credit template at once, so nothing gets re-keyed and nothing falls through the cracks.

Project & Eligibility.

504 eligibility hinges on job creation, business size, and use of proceeds—criteria that can disqualify a deal late if they're not checked early. Lama AI runs the eligibility matrix at intake, flags issues before underwriting starts, and keeps the project on track.

Multiple Loans, One Reality.

The bank's first mortgage and the CDC's debenture move on different timelines, with different documentation requirements. Lama AI tracks both tranches in one deal file, surfaces conflicts before they become delays, and keeps every party working from the same version of the truth.

Closing & Debenture Funding.

504 closings require coordinating the bank, the CDC, SBA, and the debenture underwriter—often across weeks of back-and-forth. Lama AI manages the closing checklist, tracks outstanding items in real time, and ensures debenture funding isn't held up by a missing document.
