The loan rate is determined by market at the sale of a participation in a pool of government guaranteed securities. The rate is fixed for the term of the SBA/FoundationCapital loan.  Generally, the rule of thumb in projecting a rate is the 10 year Treasury rate, plus 210 base points.  Market rates are allowed on the private lending portion (50% of project).
