When the SBA 504 loan dipped to a 3.98% fixed interest rate in June, it reached a new historic low. And July is looking even better for small business borrowers, with the newly released 20-year rate at 3.91%.
“Right now we’re supporting the first round of small business borrowers to benefit from fixed interest rates below 4% in the 504 program’s history,” says Sherwood Robbins, managing director of Seedcopa + SeedcoDE. “It’s an exciting time for business owners who can finally take the plunge and buy new real estate, upgrade existing facilities or purchase equipment and machinery.”
Before June and July 2019, the previous record low for the SBA 504 loan’s 20-year effective rate was last set in December 2012, when it reached 4.01%.
