504 debenture rates continued a gentle easing leaving them if not near historic lows, then certainly in a subdued range. This was driven by the continued demand for US Treasury offerings, a trend likely to be supported for the coming year by both diminishing US federal budget deficits and the strength of the US dollar. So if “none of the above” is not a choice, what is a small business owner to do? Perhaps the safest course is to lock-in a major operating cost, occupancy, by using the fixed rates of the SBA 504 program. (Unless you believe that rampant deflation leads to complete economic and social collapse. Then buy ammunition, canned goods and gold; in that order.)
