Let’s talk about SBA loan interest rates. Since capital for SBA 7(a) loans is issued via banks, credit unions, and lenders, one question that comes up a lot is if the lender choose the interest rate of SBA loans?
The answer is yes. However, only up to a maximum established by the SBA. Let’s explore this further.
SBA 7(a) loans are priced with a base rate, like WSJ Prime, plus a surcharge chosen by the issuing lender. The SBA sets a maximum for these surcharges, which are:
Loan Amount |
Maximum Per SBA |
SBA 7(a) via NEWITY* |
$50,000 or less |
Base rate plus 6.5% |
WSJ Prime + 2.75% |
$50,001 to $250,000 |
Base rate plus 6.0% |
WSJ Prime + 2.75% |
$250,001 to $350,000 |
Base rate plus 4.5% |
WSJ Prime + 2.75% |
Greater than $350,000 |
