What to Check

Check the promissory note or loan agreement, borrower eligibility, principal, rate, APR, fee schedule, maturity, amortization method, repayment term, covenant, disclosure, and underwriting file.

Common Mistakes

  • Comparing loans only by stated interest rate instead of APR, fees, term, and repayment schedule.
  • Ignoring whether credit is open-end, revolving, installment, secured, or committed.
  • Treating eligibility for a program as proof of suitability or affordability.
  • Using loan labels without checking the actual borrower obligation.

Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.

Front-Loaded Interest

Front-loaded interest means early loan payments carry a larger interest share, slowing principal reduction at the start of repayment.

Low-Interest Loans

Low-interest loans charge below-market or subsidized rates, often to improve affordability for eligible borrowers or policy programs.

Marker Rate

A marker rate is the base rate in a variable-rate loan agreement before the contractual spread is added.

Rollover Loan

A rollover loan resets its interest rate at periodic intervals, commonly combining long amortization with shorter rate terms.

504 Loan Program

The SBA 504 loan program provides long-term fixed-asset financing through a lender and CDC structure for qualifying small businesses.
