The grand idea has failed. The loan is in default.

And now it appears likely your borrower will not have the ability to pay off the loan completely after liquidation of all collateral.

Do you force the borrower into bankruptcy? Or do you go another direction — the offer in compromise of the deficiency loan balance where it may be appropriate to settle for less than the full amount due.

This webinar will detail the ten steps you must complete in order to arrive at a successful, fair outcome for all parties.

The amount being offered must be reasonable. There must be an appropriate relationship between the estimated net present value of the projected recovery.

The advantage to the lender is you can collect a fair recovery without protracted litigation and other unrecoverable expenses.

Why do an offer in compromise?

Two words; recovery and closure. We will define the principal “first loss is the best loss,” and offer you scenarios when you should embrace the concept.

An offer in compromise gives the lender a relatively swift, cost-effective, worthwhile recovery.

A very important consideration is closure is as important to the borrower, as well as the lender.

Daily facing a delinquent loan destroys lives, health, marriages and family. Borrowers are motivated to “move on” and get their life back.

It closes the books on the deal, and gives everyone finality.

And, if it is an SBA loan, it closes out the case and gets it off their books.

Offer in Compromise has been characterized more than art, rather than science. Every situation is different, but there are basic steps you must follow to be successful.

We will describe in detail the process you need to take to get all stakeholders signed off on a deal — up the chain of bank management, the regulators, SBA if an SBA loan, and of course the borrower.

We will explain the importance of understanding this is a sales process.

We will take a few minutes to address SBA requirements, but the focus of this webinar is how to get everyone to agree to a deal that is fair for all concerned.

You will learn:
• The best way to set the stage of the conversation
• The mathematics of a fair offer
• Recommended negotiating strategies
• What documents must be provided by the borrower
• Public data you can use
• How to sell the deal to a spouse or partner
• How to sell the deal to senior bank management
• How to sell the deal to SBA
• How to handle the 1099 conversation
• How to document source of funds
• How to handle third parties, e.g. the attorney
• How to use the offer in compromise to perfect the SBA guaranty
• What additional documents you must collect for SBA
• What is SBA’s current attitude toward offer in compromise
