Founded in 2005 by Bill Ebersole and headquartered in Houston, Community Certified Development Corporation rebranded as Community Business Finance in 2017 — though it continues to operate as the same SBA 504 CDC. Specializing in SBA 504 financing for owner-occupied commercial real estate and heavy equipment, Community Business Finance partners with banks and credit unions to provide long-term fixed-rate financing for projects ranging from $250,000 to $15 million. The organization has funded hundreds of small businesses across a wide range of industries — medical, dental, and veterinary practices, restaurants, hotels, manufacturing, distribution facilities, auto dealerships, and family entertainment venues — and was created specifically to help borrowers and lenders better access the 504 program's flexibility.
