AVANA Companies and Capital Partners Team Up to Help Small Businesses Navigate SBA Loans Amid Government Shutdown

Experts host webinar on November 18 to guide brokers on fast-tracking SBA 504 loans when processing resumes

GLENDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AVANA Companies, a leading commercial real estate lender, and Capital Partners CDC will host a virtual webinar to help commercial real estate and hospitality brokers navigate SBA 504 loans amid the federal government shutdown. The webinar, "Fast-Tracking SBA 504 After Reopening: How to Get Your Deals to the Front of the Line," takes place on November 18 at 1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT via Zoom. The session provides brokers with strategies to help clients secure SBA financing efficiently when loan processing resumes.

The federal government shutdown has halted SBA loan processing, creating uncertainty for small business owners seeking financing. When operations resume, a significant backlog of applications will delay critical funding for commercial real estate projects. Brokers need to understand how to prepare complete packages now to position their clients' applications for quick approval once processing resumes.

"The government shutdown presents unique challenges for small businesses seeking SBA financing, but it also creates opportunities for those who are prepared," said Sanat Patel, Co-Founder & Chief Lending Officer, AVANA Companies. "Having a strong lending partner is crucial during these challenging financial times, as experience and preparation can make the difference between deals that move forward quickly and those that get stuck in the backlog."

Brokers attending the webinar will learn practical steps to take immediately, including how to triage their pipeline, prepare complete packages, and verify eligibility requirements before submission. The session covers SBA 504 loan program basics, refinancing options, and specific strategies based on lessons learned from previous government shutdowns.

"Certified Development Companies work with lenders to deliver SBA 504 loans that help small businesses acquire real estate and equipment to grow their operations," said Tim Souther, Executive Vice President, Capital Partners CDC. "Working with AVANA, we're committed to helping small businesses create jobs and strengthen local economies. This webinar gives brokers the tools to navigate the current shutdown and unlock the potential of SBA financing for their clients."

AVANA Companies and Capital Partners CDC offer specialized expertise in SBA 504 loans for owner-occupied commercial real estate acquisition and refinancing across various sectors including hotels, medical offices, industrial facilities, self-storage, retail, franchise restaurants, and light manufacturing.

"SBA 504 loans provide substantial benefits for small business owners, including lower down payments, longer terms, and fixed interest rates," said Matt Hunt, Chief Credit Officer, AVANA Companies. "Our experience shows that properly structured and packaged loans move through the system more efficiently, which is especially important during periods of high volume following processing delays."
