The Sparkassen ten-year fixed rate for home loans is approximately 1.1% at present. What is the rate for a typical SME loan for someone looking to get a working capital or stocking loan of €40,000 or looking to build a plant for €120,000? Typically, a working loan might be a one-year stocking loan or an overdraft facility over a year. Typically here, a building capital loan to an SME is for ten to 15 years.
