We called it in 2019 for lenders to prepare for major disruptions in the restaurant industry. (We were right on that one, but ok we didn’t predict the pandemic. We just said prudent lenders should prepare for a downturn!)

Now What?

Historically, restaurants are the largest recipient of SBA 7(a) loans. And a profitable lending niche when underwritten correctly.

We wrote in 2019:

As well as you prepare for disruptions that are simmering beneath the surface in this business segment—this Coleman webinar gives your underwriting staff new criteria for accurately assessing restaurant loan risk.

The good news is, restaurants are the number one NAICS code for SBA lenders. The bad news is, restaurants make for notoriously risky loans—even during good times.

Today the industry faces upheaval due to a confluence of six disruptive influences that could easily turn imprudent loans into disasters: Robotics, escalating minimum wages, zombie malls, immigration policy, food delivery services and social media. This webinar helps underwriters understand how these critical factors affect risk—as well as how astute lenders can minimize and mitigate them.

Now, for 2021. You and your staff will become SBA restaurant lending experts with the following topics:

  • The TEN questions the underwriter must answer
  • SBA guidance to lenders regarding COVID and small business lending
  • An updated SBA Restaurant Lending Underwriting Addendum
  • Restaurant Revitalization Fund Update
