SBA 504 Construction Loan Fuels Growth for Premier Tennis Academy
We are proud to have partnered with the accomplished founders of a premier tennis academy to finance the ground-up construction of their new, state-of-the-art facility. This project is a testament to the owners’ decade-long success and dedication to their local tennis community.
Space & Scheduling Constraints: The academy was restricted to evening hours for its junior program, with no capacity for adult clinics or expanded offerings.
Growing Waitlists: High demand from the community meant talented players were frequently on waitlists, unable to join the acclaimed program.
Complex Financing Needs: The vision was a multi-million dollar, ground-up construction project for a “special use” property—a venture that requires deep financing expertise.
The Challenge: A Winning Business That Outgrew Its Home
For over ten years, the academy has built an impeccable reputation for developing elite junior tennis players, helping over 50 athletes earn college scholarships. Operating out of a local country club, their growth was undeniable, but so were their limitations.
A Strategic Financing Solution: SBA 504 & 7(a) Loans
To bring this ambitious project to life, our team structured a comprehensive and flexible financing package tailored to the academy's unique needs. The solution involved leveraging two powerful government-backed programs:
SBA 504 Loan: This loan provided the long-term, fixed-rate financing necessary for the major real estate and construction costs. It is the ideal tool for an owner-occupied, special-use facility like a tennis academy
