Refinancing SBA Debt to a Conventional Commercial Loan: A Guide for Financial Advisors
As a financial advisor, you understand the importance of efficiently managing your clients' debt and finances. However, managing your own debt is equally important when it comes to running a wealth management practice. If you have existing Small Business Administration (SBA) debt, you may want to consider refinancing it to a conventional commercial loan.
Benefits of Refinancing SBA Debt to a Conventional Commercial Loan
Refinancing your SBA debt into a conventional commercial loan comes with several advantages.
Lock in a Fixed Rate: SBA rates can be variable, making it difficult to budget accurately for repayments, especially in a rising-rate environment. Conventional loans offer fixed rates, which stabilize payments.
Remove Lien on Personal Property: An SBA loan can require a lien to be placed on your home or other personal property. Refinancing to a conventional loan allows you to remove this lien, reducing personal liability.
Lower Monthly Payments: Refinancing can help reduce your monthly payments and free up cash to invest in your business growth.
How to Refinance Your SBA Loan to a Conventional Commercial Loan
When considering refinancing your SBA loan to a conventional commercial loan, start here:
- Review your original SBA loan. Check the current interest rates, terms, and conditions that you are locked into.
