We live in a city that has many nicknames and let's face it, with everything that happens here, it's pretty easy to come up with new nicknames.
We found that interest rates for small business loans from banks generally range between 6 and 13 percent, depending on the size of the loan and the risk factor of your business. No matter the size of your business, thereâs always interest rates on loans. This is so the bank earn a profit and cover their overhead.
However, since interest is compounded monthly, the actual or effective interest rate is higher because interest in the current month compounds against interest in the previous month. As it turns out, a 12% APR (nominal) interest loan has an effective (APY) interest rate of about 12.68%. On a loan with a life of only one year, the difference between 12% and 12.68% is minimal. On a long-term loan such as a mortgage, the difference can be significant.
