What are interest rates of SBA loans? From the website for their 504 program:
Interest rates on 504 loans are pegged to an increment above the current market rate for five-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury issues. Maturities of 10 and 20 years are available. Fees total approximately three (3) percent of the debenture and may be financed with the loan.

Though its a little more complicated for their 7(a) loan program

Interest rates may be fixed or variable. Fixed rate loans of $50,000 or more must not exceed Prime Plus 2.25 percent if the maturity is less than 7 years, and Prime Plus 2.75 percent if the maturity is 7 years or more.

For loans between $25,000 and $50.000, maximum rates must not exceed Prime Plus 3.25 percent if the maturity is less than 7 years, and Prime Plus 3.75 percent if the maturity is 7 years or more.

For loans of $25,000 or less, the maximum interest rate must not exceed Prime Plus 4.25 percent if the maturity is less than 7 years, and Prime Plus 4.75 percent, if the maturity is 7 years or more.

SBA Franchise Loan:

So you're thinking of buying a franchise. ...
... As an intelligent and driven entrepreneur you realize that although the risk of starting a business is much greater than buying into a franchise you know you may need additional funding, whether it be from personal funding from the franchisor, or perhaps a Franchise loan from a commercial lending company, or financing from of the franchisor's businesses.

Another route, if the franchisor offers to help, is to get a loan from a bank. If you do this you should see if you are eligible for a SBA guaranteed loan. The first thing that you need to do is check with the bank and the SBA concerning your eligibility. Once you confirmed your eligibility do what you can to get this particular franchise registered with the SBA registry of franchises, assuming it wasn't already on it. Once it is, your application for a franchise loan guaranty you should be able to get your money in no time.

Well why should you consider an SBA loan: well the SBA doesn't actually loan directly instead guaranteeing 75% the loan for the bank or lender allowing less risk on their part which means you can ask for more money up to 2,000,000 dollars! All you have to do is in your application is show the SBA your integrity, responsibility, character, and financial record, and plan to repay the money. Even good collateral isn't always needed!

The SBA loans will help you move past obstacles that were in the way of your success getting into the franchise.

Collateral:
If you use collateral as part of getting a loan for your business then you are getting what is called a "secure business loan", you would need to include how much equity your business has, how much money does company have taken out in borrowed funds, and how much money does your company have available in cash. If you don't want to do this, then go for an unsecured business loan or a Unsecured Business Line of Credit!

Unsecured small business loans come in several shapes and sizes. One of such loans, SBA franchise loan are loans given to people who want to buy off a franchise. These loans may or may not require collateral. Moreover, there interest is also not stable. SBA interest loans may vary from lender to lender.
