How long is the term of the loan?

Loans should not extend beyond one and one-half times the expected payback of the loan. In other words, if your planned activity is expected to pay for itself in 4 years, your loan would be for no more than 6 years. Loan periods can be shorter. The maximum term is 10 years.
