SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


Interest Rates

    The Small Business Administration publishes an interest rate called 
the Optional Peg Rate (13 CFR 120.214) on a quarterly basis. This rate 
is a weighted average cost of money to the government for maturities 
similar to the average SBA direct loan. This rate may be used as a base 
rate for guaranteed fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This rate will 
be 5.00 percent for the October-December quarter of FY 2027.
    Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the maximum legal interest rate for 
any Third Party Lender's commercial loan which funds any portion of the 
cost of a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall be 6% over the New 
York Prime rate or, if that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted 
by the constitution or laws of a given State, the maximum interest rate 
will be the rate permitted by the constitution or laws of the given 
State.
