Are you confident SBA loan broker fees and compliance disclosures can withstand scrutiny?

Ensuring full compliance with SBA’s rules around loan fees and disclosures for loan brokers and agents is a constant challenge for lenders.

Check out the major revisions for SBA Form 159:

● Supporting documentation for lender fee calculations
● How to calculate fees based on the percentage of gross loan amount
● How to calculate fees based on hourly rates

The “Fee Disclosure and Compensation Agreement” Form 912 has been completely reformatted. Responsibilities for the Borrowers and Lenders have been rewritten and clarified and required disclosures.

The slightest mistake or oversight can lead to guaranty repairs or even the revocation of your ability to offer SBA loans.

Recent updates to key forms like SBA Form 159 and 912, the compliance landscape has shifted, leaving many lenders, and SBA loan brokers, unsure if their current processes truly meet requirements.

Don’t let a simple compliance oversight threaten your SBA lending business.
