Why refinance with an SBA Loan?
Large or frequent payments can make it difficult to run day-to-day operations, let alone plan for growth. Additional funds from a low-cost SBA loan may be used for working capital to help your business expand. SBA debt consolidation loans can be used to refinance:
- Merchant cash advances
- Short-term business loans
- High-interest business loans
- Business credit cards
- Daily or weekly payment loans
High-interest debt can quickly strain your business's cash flow, but consolidating that debt with an SBA loan offers multiple advantages:2
Lower Monthly Payments
SBA loans often have lower interest rates than most traditional business loans, so refinancing high-cost debt with an SBA loan can significantly reduce your monthly payments.
Longer Repayment Terms
With repayment terms of up to 10 years, SBA loans allow for lower, predictable monthly payments, giving you more room to manage day-to-day expenses.
Improved Cash Flow
You can free up thousands each month by consolidating and refinancing high-interest loans. This can allow you to reinvest in your business operations, marketing, or inventory.
Expand Your Business
By consolidating debt with a low-cost SBA loan, you gain more working capital to fuel growth initiatives, hire additional staff, or invest in new opportunities.
