SBA 504 Lending Remains Strong in Oklahoma

As we move through 2026, the outlook for SBA 504 lending remains positive. Business owners across Oklahoma continue to invest in commercial real estate, facility expansions, equipment purchases, and long-term growth initiatives despite ongoing economic uncertainty.

The SBA 504 program remains one of the most attractive financing tools available for owner-occupied commercial real estate, offering long-term, fixed-rate financing with below-market equity requirements. For many businesses, the program provides an opportunity to preserve working capital while investing in facilities that support future growth.

At Metro Area Development Corporation (MADCO), we have seen continued demand from a diverse range of industries, including hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, self-storage, professional services, and retail businesses. Entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the program to acquire properties, construct new facilities, and modernize existing operations.

We are proud to report that MADCO currently ranks as Oklahoma's leading Certified Development Company in SBA 504 loan production. This achievement reflects the trust placed in us by our lending partners, borrowers, and professional advisors throughout the state.

As Oklahoma businesses continue to expand and invest in their communities, MADCO remains committed to providing responsive service, experienced guidance, and access to the capital needed to turn growth plans into reality.

If you are considering purchasing commercial real estate, constructing a new facility, refinancing eligible debt, or acquiring major equipment, we encourage you to contact our office to discuss how the SBA 504 program may help support your project.
