Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
In SBA loan terms, this often refers to converting a term loan feature, like a variable interest rate to a fixed rate. This can impact your monthly payments and financial predictability.
While less common in 7(a) acquisition loans which are typically variable, "conversion" could refer to changing certain loan terms. More broadly, it might mean converting a seller note from full standby to partial standby. Understand all options for your loan structure and how future changes might be handled.
