Follow Strict SBA 7(a) Debt Refi Rules: Don’t Invalidate Your Guaranty

SBA loan closer failure to collect all borrower underlying debt refinance paperwork risks annulment of your SBA 7(a) loan guaranty.

One lender just lost $850,000 in a August 2016 SBA Inspector General review for making that mistake.

This Coleman webinar will reinforce the complicated debt refinance rules and documentation requirements your underwriters and loan closers need to know so this doesn’t happen to your institution.

Your underwriters will be able to correctly calculate SBA mandated cash flow requirements. Your SBA 7(a) loan closing team will competently obtain the refinance documentation required to pass scrutiny at all levels: SBA off-site reviews, SBA on-site audits and most important — the Loan Guaranty Purchase Center in Herndon.

Unfortunately, no one checks the closer’s documentation is correct until after the loan is closed — too late to catch errors. SBA loan closers must know the calculations used by underwriters to validate eligibility. Closers must know the same rules to check the underwriter’s math.
