SBA loan breaks extended through April 30
Congress has extended breaks on U.S. Small Business Administration loans for another month, making the loans less risky for lenders and more affordable for borrowers.
Through April 30, the SBA will guarantee 90 percent of the amount of its flagship 7(a) loans, and reduce or eliminate fees on 7(a) loans and 504 loans. These breaks were initially funded by $375 million in the economic stimulus bill, and now have been extended three times.
