Don’t Let Agent – and Packaging Fees – Mistakes on SBA Form 159 Threaten Your Loan Guaranties
Because of an alarming 40-percent non-compliance with documentation of agent- and lender- packaging fees, the SBA Office of the Inspector General has recommended stricter scrutiny of data submitted on Form 159. Looking for evidence of risk patterns and fraud, the SBA will almost certainly be paying greater attention to your Form 159 preparation and documentation.
Remember: Failure to correctly disclose and document such fees can risk your loan guarantee and negatively impact your PARRiS score. Recent cases of lender impropriety in this area have resulted in criminal charges and denial of SBA loan guaranties.
This webinar will ensure that your loan team knows 1) which fees are allowed by the SBA, 2) how those fees need to be disclosed, and 3) how to document those fees on Form 159.
Part I of this webinar will cover how to work with loan brokers—how to vet them and manage your relationship with them according to newly released OIG mandates. Part II will discuss which agent- and lender-packaging fees are allowable, how they’re payable—including clarification of the “two-master rule”—and how to document them correctly on Form 159.
In short, this webinar will make your staff experts on the rules governing agent- and lender-fee compliance, including Form 159 disclosure and documentation. It’s smart insurance for you, your team and your bank.
Best of all, this training is only $389 (multiple locations from the same organization is a flat fee of $489).
The webinar will address both SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 loan requirements.
