Yes. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages and salary, which means business owners keep more of their revenue. This directly improves the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) that lenders use to evaluate loan applications, giving Tennessee borrowers a meaningful advantage in SBA underwriting compared to high-tax states.
