SBA Loans

An SBA loan is a government-guaranteed small business loan that has a longer term and a lower interest rate than a Traditional Term Loan. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is the government agency that partially guarantees SBA loans and was founded in 1953 to support small business owners across the United States.

The SBA guarantees the loan, promising to reimburse the bank for a certain percentage if there is a default. This lowers the risks to lenders which encourages them to offer more SBA loans.

SBA Loans Costs

SBA loans tend to be the least expensive financing available to small business owners.

There are different rates depending on the lender you work with; however, the SBA establishes the maximum amount that can be charged for these loans. SBA loans from Paramount Payment System’s affiliated banks have variable interest rates and depend on the loan amount:  Below is an example of these rates.
