What Is the Interest Rate On a Business Loan?

The rates can change depending on the different lending products. At banks, interest rates are generally the prime rate + 2%, but strict qualifications restrict many businesses from reaching an approval that aligns with their business goals.

We offer SBA loans, equipment financing, business term loans, lines of credit, inventory financing, A/R financing, and asset-based lending. All these products come with different rates, and they all change constantly.

  • For equipment and SBA funding, interest rates are in the single digits (6-8% range).
  • A/R and asset-based lending come with high single-digit interest rates if you have high-quality receivables or collateral.
  • If you don’t have B2B receivables or collateral, rates are around 1% per month and will increase from there. This equates to 12 to 18% annually.

We have all the lenders in one place. We look to get you the best deal and get you the most competitive interest rate for whatever you’re looking to accomplish.

Does IBA Run My Credit?

IBA does soft credit pulls. From there, we can understand which lenders will approve you.

We do this through our lender matching technology and, of course, our team of expert Business Finance Advisors.

A majority of the lenders on our platform also do soft credit pulls. If you are going to get a hard inquiry to receive an offer, we’ll let you know upfront immediately.

How Fast Can I Get a Business Loan?

With our digital application and 3 months of bank statements, you can secure up to $250,000 within a few hours!

If you’re looking for an amount above $250,000, it may take a bit longer. For example, $1 million to $5 million transactions can take anywhere from 3 to 7 business days.

The type of financing solution you’re seeking will also affect the funding time. For equipment financing, the process takes an average of 3 business days. We can do SBA loans in 7 days, which is lightning fast!

Keep in mind that bank financing takes an average of 90 days to complete, regardless of the amount or solution you’re seeking. With IBA, our team finds you the best options promptly, so we can move through the process on your schedule.

Do All Business Loans Come With a Personal Guarantee?

We have some funding products without personal guarantees. If it’s something you want, make sure to ask your Business Finance Advisor about these options.

We can explain which products those are, the terms, and what you would qualify for based on your business’s information.

Are There Monthly Payment Options Available?

Some lending products are collected daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. We have monthly payment options available on our SBA loans, equipment financing, and business term loan products.

If you’re looking for a specific repayment option, just ask us! We can go over all the options available to you.

Are There Prepayment Penalties?

A prepayment penalty is a fee imposed on a borrower if they pay off their loan prematurely.

Some products, like SBA loans, have prepayment penalties. Equipment financing transactions have prepayment penalties in some situations, but just like a lease in the car, you’re responsible for paying back the full amount.

Some products have prepayment discounts. You can borrow money at a certain cost, and if you pay off early, you pay back less. Please make sure that you ask us this. Depending on the product you’re looking for, our team might be able to work prepayment discounts into your offers.

What Are the Qualifications for a Business Loan?

Qualifications differ depending on the lender, so there’s not a simple answer.

When you apply with us, our team navigates a diverse lender marketplace to match you with the right lender for your business.

Whether you have challenged or perfect credit, our team will find you the right lender. We pull in the right lending partners for each client to provide them with the best options they qualify for.

Where Can IBA Business Solutions Fund?

We have financing options for businesses in all 50 states!

Taylor was my caseworker. I really must say that Taylor was AWESOME. She’s an expert at customer service. There were times my own attitude got out of hand but Ms.taylor never one time stopped helping. She did it in such a way where I always felt like she put me 1st. She always made me feel important. This is my 2 nd time dealing with IBA and Taylor was determined to find a solution. I’m happy with my results. Thx again Taylor.😊

Wow! Finally, a reliable source of help when needed! As an African American business owner, it is often easy to be disregarded when seeking temporary assistance. However, this company stands out. I collaborated with Ethan Scott, who displayed exceptional diligence. The application process commenced yesterday, and today I received my loan. I express my gratitude to Ethan and IBA Business Solutions.

“IBA, and specifically, Alex Soto were fantastic to work with. We have worked with several funding companies over the past few years when needing capital for our business, and IBA made it simple and painless to secure funding. Alex’s follow up and hard work to get us the needed funding was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend IBA to any business in need of quick capital and funding options tailored to their needs. Thanks Alex for all of your help!”

“I can not explain how amazing, fast, professional and easy Alex with IBA was to work with. He was not pushy like normal sales people. He explained everything in detail, did not get frustrated at any repeat questions, and made sure we understood everything and we were comfortable. He even went so far as to extend his personal cell phone number if we had any questions. I WILL highly recommend Alex and his staff to anyone in need of their assistance! Thank you guys! Excellent work!

“I wanted to let you know that funds are received. I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate working with you once again to secure funding for building improvements to our 38 bed, residential memory and hospice care setting. While I have been contacted by HOARDS of other lenders since first borrowing with IBA Business Solutions, I have continued to turn to you for funding for some very compelling reasons. You continue to offer competitive rates. You have made the process so simple and easy from our very first loan and you expedite funding without a lot of wasted time. TIME IS MONEY and I hate to waste it. I appreciate your pragmatic and straight forward manner and the always prompt return of any email or call. I look forward to working with you in the future as we continue to “polish the pearl” and keep our care setting looking it’s best.”

“ETS initially chose IBA Business Solutions because of its Better Business Bureau accreditation. Doing financing with a reputable firm is most important to us. We wanted to consolidate our credit card debt and lower our overall interest rate. This goal was understood immediately and IBA’s Alex Soto was there to assist us. To our delight, we found working with Alex Soto was comfortable and easy throughout the process. While there is a 3 hour time difference, accessibility was never an issue. Calls and questions were answered within minutes. Not only were the professional interactions pleasant, the entire loan process was efficient and quick. Good customer service was important to all involved. Thank you!”

“I started some weeks into the process of utilizing IBA Business Solutions. I worked with Ethan on several phone calls. He was very instrumental in me obtaining the loan that I needed for my business. Because of my work schedule, I was unable to complete all documents in a timely manner. However Mr. Scott worked with me and was very understanding as to when I could speak and whether or not I was out in the field. His persistence and professionalism was one of the key factors in me going with IBA. I would recommend IBA to any business that wants to get a jump start on a short-term or long-term solution for their business.”

“Jeff was very professional in handling my application. Giving me direction and guidance, explaining what we involved, etc. Alan on the other hand was very thorough in explaining what was in tail regarding fees, charges, etc. I like that they are transparent in doing business with the small business owners particularly helping us finance what we need in a short period of time. I highly recommend them to any business owners. Thank you for all your help and hope to do business again in the near future.”

“My experience with Andrew Burns and IBA was a positive one. We needed some funding and they were able to accommodate us. Contacting Andrew Burns was easy and he provided the best answers he could as we went through the process of qualifying for and receiving our loan. Another IBA associate was involved as well, and he also was readily available at any turn. Sometimes borrowing money from a company like IBA can be a bit scary. They put all the requirements right up front and made jumping through the necessary hoops bearable. They were both professional and responsive and were the right choice for us. From a retail business in Southern Wisconsin.”

“Mr. Ethan Scott has been instrumental in helping us secure very crucial funding needed in the expansion. He has been nothing but helpful, sympathetic, courteous and enthusiastic during the whole process from application, funding and beyond.

“IBA has given me a second chance to renovate and rebuild my business. It was a lot easier than working with the bank and the process was fast. I would absolutely recommend their services to others in need of financing as they did a great job. Especially Andrew Burns, he was a great guy that worked with me on every step of the way. Always responded to my emails/phone calls and explained everything to me. This guy was amazing and you guys know you should be proud to have him on your team. Love working with IBA, only hoping that the business keeps doing well, so I can pay you guys back quickly and keep up this good relationship. I am sure if I didn’t come back for more business with this business, I will be using you guys to help me with another business in the future.”

“I feel working with IBA was really awesome and easy as 1,2,3. I layed out an idea of what and where I wanted to take my shop, which is the next level. In order to do that, it takes funds. Now that I have what I need, I put my money straight to work in advertising and getting another paint booth in order to move more products out the door. Thank you for the great help, can’t wait to pay off this loan and do it again.”

“The team at IBA was easy to communicate with and Ethan was very attentive to my business needs. IBA was able to arrange monthly payments apposed to two weekly payments I had with another lender. The result was, we paid the old lender in full and opened up my weekly cash flow. I would highly recommend their team and services to others in need of financing.”

“After a slow spring and summer season, business is finally starting to pick up. Just one problem, we needed some working capital to purchase materials to get the jobs moving. We contacted IBA, spoke first with Andrew and then dealt with Jeff. The process was simple, fast and painless. Bottom line, we received funding to get our customers jobs started. Couldn’t have done it without IBA. Jeff stayed on top of things the entire way, he was most helpful. Thanks to IBA!”

I want to express my sincere appreciation for your support and time spent explaining to me about all I need to know about the loan. Your personal commitment was incredibly helpful to me and I am very pleased with your service and your well mannered and courteous nature with a very professional attitude and also somewhat like family.

“As a seasonal business the need for capital prior to our operating season is critical. It is during this time that excellent buying opportunities are available, certain improvements can be made that are not possible while in operating mode and daily cash flow needs must be addressed. IBA helped us make it through our off season by providing us with an easy, quick streamlined process to get us the funds needed to address our issues. You guys were great to work with, your follow up was timely, and I feel we made a good financial decision for our business. Thank you for your help and I will come your way if the needs arises again in the future.”

They are professional, honest and low pressure. Jeff delivered on his promise of a fast and efficient funding process. We needed the extra funds to use for working capital as we are experiencing growing pains. IBA Solutions took some of the internal pressure off of our need for this capital.”

“I got a timely call from Ethan Scott, who is a senior account executive at IBA Business Solutions, while I’m in midst of looking for funding sources in order to purchase raw materials. Ethan was able to expedite the process and get the funds wired to our account promptly, which in turn, got us to beat the deadline of having the raw materials available for production. Ethan was very helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend IBA loans to any business looking for a quick and easy way of funding and doesn’t mind making daily small payments to pay off the loan.”
