Are there any pre-payment penalties?

 
     
  The SBA 504 Debenture has a re-purchase premium (RP) during the first ten years of the 20-year Debenture period.  
     
 

This is a declining premium (10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1) that is calculated based on the year of the loan, remaining balance (B) and interest rate (I).

 
     
 

For example, if a Debenture is repurchased in year 5, the repurchase premium would be as follows: RP = B(I x .60). A 10-year Debenture has a re-purchase premium during the first five years (10/8/6/2).
