Loan interest rates differ based on the specific product, but in general, small business rates are some of the most competitive on the market. Since loan rates fluctuate it’s best to speak with one of our lenders to determine what your interest rate will be. For an SBA 7(a) loan, interest rates are the daily prime rate, which is determined by the Federal Reserve, plus a lender spread which is calculated depending on the loan amount and the loan term. Our lending team will gladly walk you through any questions you may have about specific interest rates, depending on the unique needs of your business.
The interest will vary based on the loan type and project. Rates may be fixed, variable or a combination of fixed and variable. 
Equity injection will depend on the use of funds, on average it is 10% of the total project cost.
