Altamonte Springs, Fla. – August 19, 2008 – Mercantile Commercial Capital, LLC, which specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities, reported it closed four commercial loans in July valued at $7,620,300.

 Christopher Hurn, president and chief executive officer of Mercantile Commercial Capital, said SBA 504 commercial property loans rank as an increasingly important capital resource for new job creation.

 “For small business owners, the mortgage lending crisis is a particularly onerous obstacle,” Hurn said. “SBA 504 lending offers small businesses favorable interest rates on loans that can cover 90 percent of total project costs when the capitalization results in new jobs and business expansion,” Hurn said.

 Since its start in 2003, Mercantile Commercial Capital has ranked as one of the leading SBA-504 providers in the nation.

 In July, the firm negotiated the following transactions:

• $601,200 to Bundles of Joy Learning Center of Champaign, Inc., to provide 90 percent financing for the acquisition and renovation of a stand-alone 5,690 square foot daycare facility in Champaign, Ill., with a 25 year fully-amortizing term and permanent fixed interest rate;
