How it works

Three steps from uncertainty to a plan.

01

Upload your loan docs

Drop in your SBA note or amortization schedule. Ballast pulls the key terms.

02

See your rate exposure

Understand how a 1–3% rise in Prime would affect your monthly payment and cash flow.

03

Request protection quotes

We package your profile and connect you with qualified institutional providers.

The problem

Most SBA borrowers have floating-rate loans, but no treasury team.

Large corporations have entire desks managing interest-rate risk. Main Street borrowers are exposed to the same rate moves with none of the tooling. Ballast closes that gap with software designed for business owners, not Wall Street.
