SBA 504 Interest Rates Stay Low and Steady

Nov 2020

The fixed interest rates for Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans this month dropped slightly over October’s rates, remaining steadily in a historically low range to the continued advantage of small business owners looking to purchase major fixed assets, like real estate and machinery and equipment, or refinance conventional commercial mortgage and other business debt.

The low rates also include a slight increase in the ongoing SBA borrower fee effective for all loans approved on or after Oct. 1, 2020 -- not those that are funded after Oct. 1 – though, Sept. 30, 2021.

• The October 25-year effective interest rate for standard 504 loans is 2.552% and 2.593% for refinance loans with the new fee calculation.
• The October 20-year effective interest rate for standard 504 loans is 2.523% and 2.566% for refinance loans with the new fee calculation.
  
  
• The 10-year effective interest rate for standard 504 loans is 2.417% and 2.469% for refinance loans (set bimonthly) with the new fee calculation.

The SBA 504 Loan Program provides up to 90% financing at below-market, fixed interest rates and long amortization terms up to 25 years for the purchase of major fixed assets, such as owner-occupied commercial real estate, renovations, new construction, energy efficient “green” initiatives and/or fixed heavy duty machinery and equipment, as well as the refinance of commercial mortgage and other business debt with or without a cash-out option.

504 loans are paired with private-sector commercial loans and provide up to $5 million of aggregate SBA eligibility on standard 504 projects; up to $5.5 million per 504 energy efficient green project not exceed $16.5 million in the aggregate; and up to $5.5 million per eligible small manufacturing project with no limit on total SBA dollars available. These are SBA 2nd mortgage loan portions only; there is no limit on overall project dollar size.
