These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses and  2.75 for non-profits.  SBA offers long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to 30 years.
