What affects the price
When you apply for a business loan, lenders look at a few main things to set your rate. Your credit history is a big one, as it shows how you’ve handled debt before. They also check your monthly revenue and how long you have been running the shop. If your business has collateral to offer, like equipment or real estate, that can often help secure better terms. Generally, interest rates might typically range from 8% to 25% depending on your specific profile and the type of financing you choose. We break down your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
An SBA business loan is a lending product partially guaranteed by the federal government, which helps lenders feel more confident in approving your request. You should apply for one of these when you need a large amount of capital and want to keep your monthly payments manageable over several years. While the government provides the guarantee, you must still meet specific lender criteria regarding your revenue and credit. Interest rates are typically stable and conservative.
