SBA Loans

Applying for an SBA 7(a) small business loan is fast and easy. Apply for your loan today. SBA loans from M2C Capital partner banks have a variable rate of Prime Rate plus 1.50% to 3.75%.

Now for the good stuff: How much is an SBA loan going to cost you? The news here is positive—it's tough to beat the low interest rates and long repayment terms for these loans. SBA loans tend to be the least expensive financing available to small business owners.

SBA loans come with 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 banks in the SmartBiz network have variable interest rates and depend on the loan amount:

LOANS UP TO $5 MILLION

INTEREST RATES 6.25% - 7.25%

LOAN TERMS 10 - 25 YEARS

The current Prime Rate, is determined by market conditions and set by the Federal Reserve Board. On top of this base rate, lenders can charge additional interest rates, subject to the caps set by the SBA.

There are also several fees associated with SBA loans: some are charged directly by the SBA, while others are charged by lenders or agents to cover the costs of making and processing the loans. Like the interest rate, the SBA regulates what is the maximum that can be charged.

When you choose to work with M2C Capital to apply for an SBA loan, you appoint our partner lenders as your referral and packaging agent. This means we can help you assemble and complete all the appropriate documents to apply for these loans and then refer your application to one of our preferred SBA lending banks who is most likely to approve your particular business.

While the SBA does not require the use of an Agent for Packaging Services or to refer a loan application in order to apply for an SBA loan. Clients choose to hire our banking partners to make the process easier and faster than a traditional bank.
