No. Subprime mortgages were given to people with no chance of paying them back or potential revenue to back the loan.

Small business loans have are expected to allow for investment that will have a payback. Low interest reduces the burden on the borrower as it takes time for the intended investments to pay off.

subprime loans are non-recourse. Small business loans are often laden with personal guarantees. So a business failure doesn’t mean that a bank will lose out.

If you take a 300k loan for your house, you just deliver them the keys and walk away if you can’t pay.

If you take a 300k loan for your business, they take your business assets and if that’s not enough to cover the loan, they then go after your house and your Ducati.
