The Problem with SBA Collateral Analysis

SBA 7(a) collateral analysis and narrative preparation remain time-consuming, error-prone, and inconsistent across underwriting teams. With the new SBA SOP 50 10 8, lenders face expanded requirements for collateral valuation, lien documentation, and narrative support—all of which must be clearly presented in the credit memo. A poorly documented collateral section can lead to repairs, denials of guaranty, or costly buybacks.

  • Collateral valuation is complex: SOP 50 10 8 defines specific collateral percentages for machinery, real estate, vehicles, and trading assets. Underwriters must apply these consistently while documenting calculations.
  • Narratives lack standardization: Credit memos often fail to clearly explain collateral support, lien positions, and shortfalls.
  • Compliance risk is high: Missing details on collateral adequacy or failure to document lien logic can trigger SBA scrutiny during guaranty purchase.
  • Manual processes waste time: Underwriters spend hours drafting narratives and calculating adjusted collateral values, reducing productivity and slowing approvals.

We Have the Solution – This Webinar

Join Coleman Report for a specialized session showing how to harness ChatGPT to perform SBA collateral analysis and craft compliant, thorough collateral narratives. Building on lessons from the Top 30 SBA Loan Exceptions webinar, you’ll learn how AI tools can help you proactively avoid the critical underwriting missteps that frequently invalidate SBA guarantees.

You’ll discover how to:

  1. Input collateral data and automatically compute adjusted SBA values per SOP 50 10 8.
  2. Generate narrative credit memo language that properly documents lien priority, collateral sufficiency, and shortfalls.
  3. Structure compliant outputs that directly address items highlighted in Coleman’s loan exceptions webinars.
