The February 2026 SBA 504 debenture pricing was completed on February 5, 2026. The SBA offers a 504 Loan with a 25-year maturity for the acquisition of owner-occupied commercial real estate and related costs. This is in addition to the 10 and 20 year loans currently available in the 504 Loan Program. Loans are typically eligible for up to 90% financing of project costs. Rates include monthly servicing fees to the CDC, SBA, and central servicing agent; based on SBA FY26 fees. The SBA also reinstituted an upfront guaranty fee of 50 basis points for non-manufacturing projects. Rates for manufacturing businesses (primary NAICS Code in sectors 31, 32, and 33) are approximately 25 basis points lower than non-manufacturing projects due to the waiver of the annual service fee.
