Folder-2On July 1st, SBA changed its guidance to lenders on how to underwrite and prepare credit memorandums for SBA 7(a) loans less than $350,000.

The agency’s stated intention is to make it more efficient to approve and disburse these smaller SBA 7(a) loans and SBA community advantage loans for your clients.

Join Coleman webinar instructor Charles Green as he outlines the SBA loan underwriting changes, and walks you through the preparation of a credit memorandum that meets SBA’s prudent lender test.

Each of the following statements will be thoroughly analyzed and Charles will offer best-practice instructions for you to perfect underwriting processes and credit memorandum preparation for SBA loans less than $350,000.

• Lenders must analyze each application in a commercially reasonable manner, consistent with prudent lending standards.
• The cash flow of the Small Business Applicant is the primary source of repayment, not the liquidation of collateral.
• If the lender’s financial analysis demonstrates that the Small Business Applicant lacks reasonable assurance of repayment in a timely manner from the cash flow of the business, the loan request must be declined, regardless of the collateral available or outside sources of cash.

You will learn how to prepare the SBA 7(a) loan credit memorandum for SBA 7(a) loans and SBA Community Advantage loans for less than $350,000 for the following items:

• Calculating Projected Cash Flow
• Documenting Repayment Ability
• How to treat various underwriting criteria including:

• credit history of the applicant
• historical performance of the applicant
• the potential for long term success
• applicants character
• strength of the business
• past earnings, projected cash flow, and future prospects
• the applicant’s ability to repay the loan with earnings from the business
• a brief description of the history of the business
• owner/guarantor analysis
• effect of affiliates on repayment ability

Additionally, you will learn:

• How to screen for SBA’s credit score
• SOP changes regarding processing the IRS form 4506 on small loans
• How to determine if the equity and the pro-forma debt-to-worth are acceptable based to SBA.
• How to document equity injection
• What should be in the collateral list
