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 4.88 percent for the January-March quarter of FY 2024.
    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 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.

Chief, Secondary Market Division.
