We are a Commercial Loan Brokerage shop with over 500 funding partners and over 50 SBA funding partners. I would say the vast majority, 95%+ of SBA lenders, are providing variable rate SBA 7A loans. Those that are offering fixed rates, the rates tend to be a bit higher and they are very selective in the deals they will offer them on. Most of the pricing we are seeing get done is in the Prime + 1.50% to Prime + 2.50% range. If there is real estate involved the rate tends to get lower than a deal that is all business assets. I have not seen anyone pricing deals right around Prime, at least not any of the specialty SBA shops. I hope this helps.
