Starting rates and spread over Prime

SBA's file gives no starting-rate median across several years. Prime moved too much between 2019 and 2026 for one figure to mean anything.

1st State Bank approved 58 loans from October 2019 to June 2026. The median spread on those loans was 2 percentage points over Prime, against 2.6 percentage points over Prime for all lenders.

On the 22 loans approved from October 2023 to June 2026, the median starting rate was 8.75%, against 10.25% for all lenders. That is a small group, so treat it as rough.

The starting rate follows Prime on the day a loan was approved. The spread over Prime is the steadier way to compare lenders and years. Spread is measured on variable-rate loans only.

SBA's ceiling on variable rates

For variable-rate loans, SBA caps the rate at Prime plus 3.0 to 6.5 percentage points, depending on loan size. Today's ceilings by loan size are on the rates page.

By loans that is lower than the 3.6% for all lenders. By dollars the rate was 0.0%, against 0.9% for all lenders.

How charge-offs are counted

We count only loans approved October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2022 (FY2020 to FY2022). Newer loans have not had time to go bad. A charge-off means the lender wrote the loan off as a loss. The rate by loans is charged-off loans divided by approved loans. The rate by dollars is the charged-off balance divided by approved dollars. Both run through June 30, 2026.

The two rates can differ widely for a lender that writes many small loans. A small loan adds one to the count but little to the dollars.

SBA's file covers approved loans only. This says nothing about how often applications are approved.
