When you look at SBA loan costs, several factors dictate the final numbers. Lenders primarily evaluate your credit score, the amount of cash you have available for a down payment, and your business's existing debt load. The loan type—such as a 7(a) versus a 504—also shifts the interest rates and fees significantly. Projects requiring more documentation or complex collateral assessments may also carry different expense structures compared to straightforward working capital requests.

A personal loan from a bank is a consumer debt product, not a business loan. You would use this for personal expenses, not for company operations or inventory. Since these are not backed by the SBA, they do not offer the same long-term repayment benefits for business owners. Costs are primarily determined by your individual credit score and personal income.
