Assumption
This occurs when a third party wishes to acquire either the business and the building funded or just the building and wants to assume the existing SBA 504 note and the associated repayment schedule and terms.

Automated Clearing House (ACH) or Debit Payments
These are payments paid each month from the borrower's selected checking account. Payments on the SBA 504 loan are made by ACH debit to the borrower's designated checking account on the first of each month after the loan closes. Payments on the 504 loan are separate from the borrower's payments on the 50% first mortgage loan. ACH is the preferred means of payment, "wire transfer" is the only accepted alternative.

Partial Release
This occurs when a piece of collateral securing the SBA 504 loan is released in support of the business. This typically occurs when a piece of land included in the original agreement is released for new development or by request of the local , municipality, e.g. road project easements.

Prepayment
This is a payment of the remaining balance of the SBA 504 loan made before the scheduled maturity date of that loan.

Subordination
All SBA 504 loans are secured by the building and property associated with the business. Preferred holds a second mortgage while a primary lender holds a first mortgage. In the event of a change in primary lender (for example due to a refinance by a new lender), the new lender must contact Preferred so that they remain in first mortgage position. Otherwise, the new lender is subordinated to Preferred.

Wire Transfer
This is the process which is used to transfer funds between the borrower's bank and the SBA servicing agent. For fees associated with closing, monthly payments, payoffs, or any other transfer this is the required approach unless other arrangements are approved in advance by Preferred.
