SBA offers financing through a lot of different programs; each with its own peculiarities and specificities. While all financing products are equally important and crucial, 7(a) and 504 are two of the most popular programs as they offer flexibility, lower down payments, and favorable prepayment terms. Even though most business owners are savvy and understand the nuances of financing terms, getting a fixed or a floating interest rate on their loan still causes unwarranted complexities.  SBA approved lenders who sell their loans earn higher premiums on variable (floating rate) loans. This higher profitability in variable rates is countered when lenders typically ask for higher servicing fees for fixed-rate loans. The type of interest rates that banks offer mostly depend on factors...

It’s not unusual for owners to partner with family members on an industrial, hotel or office-based business. In fact, many of our commercial real estate borrowers rely on help from parents, cousins, siblings and in-laws.

But when it doesn’t work, the consequences can be crippling — personally and professionally. When choosing to work with family, there’s a valuable first lesson that applies to businesses of every type: Great character doesn’t always equal great business savvy.
