I’m exploring getting an SBA 504 loan <https://www.nybdc.com/about-us/SBA-504-Loans_54_24_sb.htm> to purchase the building I’ve been in for 10 years. They’re arguing that coworking isn’t eligible, as it’s a passive business, primarily engaged in real estate in which we lease (license) it out to accommodate independent businesses that provide services directly to the public.
I think those of us who own or manage coworking spaces would not call it passive… but has anyone had any experience successfully navigating this?
