US Small Business Administration (SBA) business loans, which are offered by both Hawaii banks and banks on the mainland, are available for financing the acquisition of the business assets, working capital and buildings of a business. The loans are made by banks and are partially guaranteed by the SBA. Currently rates are historically low and generally are variable and are tied to an index like Prime rate.
