Introduction

Assuming you have the funds to do so, there are a few ways you can go about paying off your SBA loan. You can make additional payments on top of your regular monthly payments, pay off the loan in full, or prepay the loan.

Additional Payments
You can make additional payments on your loan at any time without penalty. Simply send in a check or money order with a note specifying that the additional payment is to be applied to your loan balance. Be sure to include your loan number on the payment so it is applied correctly.

Full Payment
If you have the funds available, you can pay off your loan in full at any time without penalty. Simply send in a check or money order for the remaining balance of your loan, along with a note specifying that it is to be applied as a full payment. Be sure to include your loan number on the payment so it is applied correctly.

Prepayment
You can prepay your loan at any time without penalty. Prepayments are applied first to any fees and costs due, then to outstanding interest, and finally to the principal balance of your loan. Any amount you prepay above these amounts will be refunded to you. Simply send in a check or money order for the amount you want to prepay, along with a note specifying that it is to be applied as a prepayment. Be sure to include your loan number on the payment so it is applied correctly.

SBA Loan Forgiveness

The SBA’s Loan Forgiveness Program offers partial or full forgiveness for eligible loans. To be eligible, you must use your loan proceeds for qualifying expenses and meet all other program requirements.

If you are interested in applying for loan forgiveness, you should contact your lender to start the process. You can also visit the SBA’s website for more information on the program and how to apply.

Please note that the SBA’s Loan Forgiveness Program is separate from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). If you have questions about the PPP, please visit our FAQ page or contact your lender.

SBA Loan Refinancing

Whether you’re looking to lower your monthly payment or shorten your loan term, SBA loan refinancing could be a great option for you.

SBA loan refinancing is available through a number of different lenders, and the process is relatively simple. You’ll first need to get in touch with your current lender to see if they offer SBA loan refinancing. If not, you can reach out to other lenders to see if they might be a good fit.

When you’re ready to begin the refinancing process, you’ll need to fill out an application and provide some basic information about your financial situation. Once you’re approved, you’ll be able to choose a new repayment plan that works better for you.

If you’re not sure whether SBA loan refinancing is right for you, consider talking to a financial advisor who can help you weigh your options.

SBA Loan Consolidation

Small business owners with multiple SBA loans can often benefit from consolidating their debt into a single loan. SBA loan consolidation can simplify your monthly payments and reduce your overall interest costs. In most cases, you will need to have good credit and a strong business financial history to qualify for an SBA consolidation loan.

There are a few different ways to go about consolidating your SBA debt. You can take out a new loan to pay off all of your existing SBA loans, or you can work with your current lender to modify your loan terms and possibly extend the repayment period. If you have good credit and a strong financial history, you may be able to qualify for an SBA 7(a) consolidation loan. This type of loan is available through participating SBA lenders and typically has lower interest rates than other types of financing.

Another option for consolidating your SBA loans is to work with a company that specializes in SBA debt consolidation. These companies will help you negotiate new terms with your lenders and may be able to get you a lower interest rate or extended repayment period. Be sure to do your research before working with any consolidation company, as there are some scams out there.

If you’re struggling to make your SBA loan payments, talk to your lender about consolidating your debt. Consolidating your loans can simplify your monthly payments and help you get out of debt faster.
