504 Loan Structuring

With the current rising interest rate environment, now is a good time to lock in debt for as long as possible. One option is the SBA 504 program where anywhere from 35-40% of the loan package has a 25-year fixed rate.

They are the indices most lenders use to price their loans. Since December 2021, the 10-Year benchmark index has risen over 150 basis points to 2.96% as of May 17, 2022.
