Not all is lost in the trillions of dollars fleeing from your pockets. Good news for the entreprenuer from the guys at SBA.
Effective February 17th, 2009 SBA has been allocated 18 billion dollars somewhere in the "stimulus bill" to help with small business financing. The program is retro active to Feb 17th and expires at the end of 2009 or until the money runs out.
In short, 7A loan fees are now waived. That's 3% to the buyer out the gate, saving tens of thousands of dollars in out of pocket money to feed the feds. Additionally, SBA will now "guarantee up to 90 % of the loan. The typical cap was 75%. Underwriting criteria stays the same however, so don't expect banks to return to loose lending.
Current SBA rates are around 5%.
