“When I retired from Congress after having served in the House of Representatives from 1977 until 1993, I was asked to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and Loan Review Committee of CSRA Business Lending. I want to convey to you first hand my opinion of how well the SBA-504 loan program works. It is an excellent tool to grow small businesses.”

Doug Barnard, Jr.
Former 10th District Congressman

“We have worked with CSRA since our inception in 1988… if your bank does not have a source for 504 loans they would be an excellent choice. They have been a tremendous resource for our bank.”

Dan Blanton, President & CEO
Georgia Bank and Trust
Augusta

“The 50% first mortgage a bank obtains in a 504 loan leaves the bank in a position where it is near impossible to sustain a loss. In the years I was in banking, we frequently turned to CSRA to fund projects that we simply would not have been able to do without their help.”

Boone Knox, Former President & CEO
Allied Bank of Georgia

“The SBA-504 loan program is a very effective program for community bankers in rural areas. It has enabled our bank to help customers we could not have served without the programs support. CSRA’s staff is very efficient and allows a small bank such as ours access to the 504 program with ease.”
