75-minute training with e-certification
The problem with SBA’s “Do what you do rule” is SBA 7(a) loan underwriters cannot solely rely on their internal credit policy to write the credit memo.
It’s really a “Do what you do, and make sure you follow our rules too.”
SBA rules must be followed. And addressed in the credit memo.
So, lenders are left with little directions on a number of mandatory SBA regulations.
We help solve the lender’s confusion by bringing clarity to the important considerations that must be addressed in the underwriter’s credit memo that protects the SBA loan guaranty.
You will learn how to address the following SBA specific checklist items in your credit memos:
CHARACTER
● Define “character”
● Define “applicants must be creditworthy”
● sam.gov clearance
● Elimination of Form 912 and criminal history clearance
● E-Tran Hold Codes
● Management experience
CAPACITY (CASH FLOW)
● Debt to service ratio cash flow requirements
● Global cash flow requirements
● Using projections to document positive cash flow
● When you can substitute a credit score for cash flow
CAPITAL (EQUITY INJECTION)
● SBA equity injection verification
● SBA equity injection documentation requirements
● Common equity injection mistakes
CONDITIONS (ELIGIBILITY)
● Affiliation rule
● Underwriting the Franchise Loan without the Franchise Directory
● Ineligible businesses
● Special rules for business acquisition loans
● Funding the loan without a loan authorization
COLLATERAL
● All available collateral rule
● Liens on guarantor personal real estate
● Life insurance requirements
● Guarantor requirements
By joining the webinar, you will learn how to navigate the “Do what you do” rule while ensuring compliance with SBA regulations. Our team will break down the essential elements you need to include in your credit memos to protect the SBA loan guaranty. From defining character and assessing cash flow to understanding equity injection and eligibility criteria, we’ll cover it all. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to address these key aspects in your credit memos, making the underwriting process smoother and more efficient.
