A net 37% of small business owners plan to raise prices, the most since July 2022. For many, it’s a response to rising costs. Those costs hit now, but new prices take time to pay off.

After a career in infant nutrition, Krista became a mom and found only synthetic prenatal pills on the market. So she founded Nunona, a real-food prenatal and postnatal vitamin made from fruits and vegetables. Her advice to other founders: “The market is always changing, but you have to be able to read what’s happening in the environment, figure out how to respond to it, and figure out how to stay a step ahead.” Happy National Women’s Small Business Month. #fundwell #womeninbusiness #selfmadeseries

This or That: Small Business Owner Edition 🤝 #business #businessowner #fundwell #smallbusiness #thisorthat

The Fed just raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing the target range to 3.75%-4%. It’s the first rate increase since July 2023. So, what does that mean for small business owners? Prime, a common benchmark for business lending, typically moves with the Fed. That means variable-rate borrowing can become more expensive, while fixed-rate loans generally aren’t affected by a change in the benchmark rate. SBA 7(a) variable-rate loans are tied to a base rate such as prime so that changes can reach those borrowers quickly. Revenue-based financing, which is priced on a factor rate rather than prime, isn't directly affected. The Fed’s latest projections put the median federal funds rate at 4.1% at the end of 2026, indicating that another increase is possible before year-end. For business owners, understanding how your financing is priced can help you make more informed decisions about your next move.

This or that: small business owner edition, with Muheed from Pookie Bakery.

Here are the 5 major SBA updates made this year. These rules affect what you can borrow and who qualifies for the program. 1. All owners and guarantors must now be US citizens. Any foreign ownership disqualifies the business. 2. Buying a business and its property can now be financed in one loan instead of two. 3. That combined deal raises the borrowing limit to $10 million. 4. Startups and business acquisitions now require a 10% down payment. 5. Full underwriting starts at $350K instead of $500K, so larger loans take longer to approve. Save this if you're planning to apply this year.

Here's your September business owner checklist👇

Financing should move as fast as your business. Apply at Fundwell.com

Muheed's weekend baking habit outgrew his kitchen, so he started selling cookies out of his brother's gyro shop in Brooklyn. One TikTok hit 6M views. Pookie Bakery now moves 3,000 cookies a day. "You can't grow without having help and trusting others."
