Mercantile Commercial Capital, a Florida-based firm specializing in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans, announced today that despite the reluctance of many banks to lend money it continues to fund commercial real estate projects for owners of small and mid-sized businesses.

Altamonte Springs, FL / November 10, 2008 – As banks across the country turn down small business owners for their commercial real estate loans, Mercantile Commercial Capital has announced their intention, and ability, to continue lending.  “The ‘freeze’ that some banks are experiencing is unfortunately giving the banking industry a black eye, and it’s contributing to more fear in the marketplace,” said Christopher Hurn, President/CEO/Cofounder of Mercantile Commercial Capital.  “Now is a great time for business owners to increase their net worth by having the courage to purchase discounted commercial property.  We’re able to make viable 504 loans, or what we call ‘SmartChoice Commercial Loans,’ out of what big banks are turning down and help our clients own their commercial property.” 

Mercantile Commercial Capital ranks as one of the nation’s leading providers of SBA 504 loans for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities.  Headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, the firm provides financing for projects nationwide and has correspondents located in: Chicago, Illinois; Park Ridge, Illinois; Westminster, Colorado; Larkspur, Colorado; and Sebastopol, California.
