Bob Coleman brings his SBA 7(a) underwriting course live to SoCal!

The SBA 7(a) loan underwriter makes the crucial judgments that go beyond typical underwriting to ensure the validity of the federal government guarantee for your institution’s SBA loan portfolio.

Loan underwriters are trained to assess risk and craft solutions to mitigate credit risk.

SBA loan underwriters have additional responsibilities and it’s simply not enough to insert a clause into your credit memorandum that the SBA guaranty is the loan risk mitigation.

Rather, the underwriter must have contextual knowledge of SBA’s rules and regulations. Prudent due diligence is required in order to not compromise the integrity of the SBA loan guaranty.

This onsite course will help underwriters master the nuances of SBA lending and be able to correctly underwrite all types of loans, applying the SBA 7(a) guidelines every time.

Unique to Coleman’s underwriting training is the use of two case studies:
1. A $5 million real estate acquisition loan
2. A $500,000 franchise business acquisition loan

Coleman will lead an analysis and outline of an SBA 7(a) credit memo for the participants.
