Loans for Refinancing Debt
 
There are several reasons why a business should consider refinancing existing debt:
 
• Reduce the interest rate and/or convert from a floating rate to a fixed rate.
 
• Reduce the monthly payment by extending the loan maturity.
 
• Convert short term debt to long term debt. See working capital loans >
 
• Use the equity built up in fixed assets to provide cash for the growth of your business.
 
As a term lender, NYBDC first needs to understand the value of the assets you are refinancing. It may be appropriate to obtain appraisals prior to deciding loan amounts as this will let us maximize the amount of the loan request.
 
NYBDC’s loan sizes range from $50,000 to $1,500,000. We are a complement to bank financing and do not compete with our partner banks. Many loan structures include NYBDC, Bank and other subordinate lenders which can bring the total financing to exceed $5 million.
 
NYBDC typically looks to refinance no more than 80% of the value of the collateral. The loan repayment period would be tied to the useful life of the assets. In many cases, we utilize the SBA loan guarantee program. This allows us to have a higher loan to value ratio and can permit us to have a longer repayment schedule.
 
We can not use the SBA 504 loan program for refinancing of debt.
