See the rate you qualify for in 2 minutes—no credit‑score hit.

The specifics

Re‑financing is possible when:

• FICO 620–679 qualifies as fair credit under the SBA 7(a) program, and an APR of 9–12% is typical for 2026【sba.gov】.
• Your company has ‘24+ months in business“ and a debit‑to‑income ratio that stays below 40% of gross monthly revenue (the SBA cap)【sba.gov】.
• Your net operating income can support a monthly payment that is 8–12% of gross revenue—this is the SBA guideline for debt‑service coverage【sba.gov】.
• A down‑payment of 15–20% of the loan principal is realistic; some lenders allow additional credit lines for the remaining balance【sba.gov】.
• Terms are 48–84 months; longer terms increase total interest by 20–30%【sba.gov】.
• The application takes 30–45 days from submission to funding【sba.gov】.

Qualification & edge cases

The answer changes if:

• Credit falls below 620: Most lenders require a 3–5% APR premium, but some offer 13–15% APR for unsecured financing, often with a higher down‑payment.
• Debt‑to‑income or debt‑service coverage ratios exceed SBA limits: you may need to refinance part of your operating expenses or negotiate a higher equity stake.
• Occupancy dips below 70%: Lenders may require additional collateral or a personal guarantee.
• Your operation is less than 24 months old: You may qualify under a small‑business trade‑off program or a private‑loan alternative offered by niche firms like Crestmont or AmeriBank.

For businesses that meet the criteria, the refinance unlocks working capital and improves cash‑flow without compromising service.

Background & how it works

Why refinance? A new rooftop unit can cost tens of thousands; paying cash depletes working capital. Refunding spreads the cost over a 48–84‑month term while preserving equity. The SBA’s 7(a) program—backed by federal guarantees—offers lower APRs and longer processing times (30–45 days), particularly for businesses with good track records. In 2026, Section 179’s $1,220,000 limit lets you depreciate the new equipment immediately, further reducing taxable income.

Typical regional lenders include Dimension Funding, Crestmont Capital, and Ameris Bank【dimensionfunding.com】【crestmontcapital.com】【amerisbank.com】. They follow SBA standards but often tailor terms for Nevada’s unique climatic demands.
