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 3.88 percent for the April–
June quarter of FY 2023.
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.
