SBA Interest Rates Hit All-Time Historic Low – Small Business Wins with the 504 Program

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Small Business Administration (SBA) commercial mortgage interest rates have fallen to an all-time historic low, creating a very timely and affordable opportunity for small business owners to refinance conventional mortgage and other business related debt with or without a cash-out option or purchase commercial real estate.

Preserving capital is as important now as it’s ever been. The SBA 504 Loan Program available through Florida First Capital Finance Corporation provides up to 90% project financing at below-market, fixed interest rates (no ARMS) and fully amortizing terms up to 25 years (no balloons).

SBA 504 fixed interest rates are currently as low as 2.52%. Projects start at $125,000 and can exceed $20 million. Eligible use of funds include the purchase of commercial real estate, renovations, new construction, energy efficient “green” initiatives and/or fixed heavy duty machinery and equipment, as well as commercial debt refinancing.

Small business owners who are considering refinancing or purchasing commercial real estate need to act now given the current unprecedented low rate environment. This opportunity may not come around again for years, if ever.
