We live in a city that has many nicknames and let's face it, with everything that happens here, it's pretty easy to come up with new nicknames.
We found that interest rates for small business loans from banks generally range between 6 and 13 percent, depending on the size of the loan and the risk factor of your business. No matter the size of your business, thereâs always interest rates on loans. This is so the bank earn a profit and cover their overhead.
But the pay-off is lower interest rates. For an SBA-backed loan, the lender can't charge more than the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), plus 2.25% for a loan due in less than seven years. The prime rate is currently 3.25%. This would bring your interest rate to a maximum of 5.5%. For loans due in more than seven years, the maximum interest rate is prime plus 2.75%, which would bring it to 6%. The SBA allows lenders to pass along certain fees to borrowers.
