Are you ready to strengthen your SBA loan credit policy and meet critical compliance standards? Our SBA Loan Credit Policy Workshop is coming up in February, offering hands-on training to help you create a credit policy tailored to your institution’s needs.
Why This Workshop Matters:
Developing a distinct SBA loan credit policy isn’t optional—it’s a critical requirement under SBA regulations. During portfolio reviews, your policy will be under scrutiny to ensure it aligns with SBA standards, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. This isn’t just a template exercise—it’s an essential foundation for your SBA lending program.
This intensive workshop will guide you through:
• Researching and drafting a credit policy specific to your institution.
• Gaining stakeholder approval.
• Implementing and maintaining compliance with SBA and regulatory requirements.
Don’t Miss Out:
Reserve your spot today to gain the tools and knowledge needed to create a policy that ensures compliance, supports your institution’s goals, and stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
