Bloat in Dogs. Bloat in dogs is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate veterinary care. Also known as gastric dilatation, gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), gastric torsion and twisted stomach, bloat can cause rapid clinical signs and death in several hours. Even with immediate treatment, approximately 25% to 40% of dogs die from this medical emergency.
Prime Rate Information. The current Bank of America, N.A. prime rate is 4.0%. The prime rate is set by Bank of America based on various factors, including the bank's costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans.
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.
