For the 2nd year in a row, SBA will not charge upfront fees for loans $1,000,000 or less for both 7(a) and 504 loans.

To continue to encourage small dollar lending, the agency will continue to set zero or extremely low fees for small dollar loans, including no fees for loans $500,000 or less in its flagship 7(a) program. SBA further announced its 7(a) Working Capital Pilot (WCP) program will charge no upfront fees for loans $1,000,000 or less and no annual service fee for loans $500,000 or less.
