Has the Federal Reserve increased the rates for small business loans, and if so by how much?
The Federal Reserve does not set the rates for small business loans. They set the Federal Discount Rate-- the rate at which banks may borrow directly from the Fed. Since this is the rate at which banks borrow their money, they always charge more than this rate for loans. SBA.gov administers Federally Backed small business loans.
