Impacts of the new SOP 50 56 – Lender Participation Requirements:

  • Changes in LSP Review and Approvals
  • SBA Quarterly PARRiS Reports,  Datapack and Loan Reveiws

Are you struggling to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving SBA lending landscape?

The proposed changes to the SBA Lender Risk Rating System have left many lenders grappling with uncertainty. With the incorporation of new modeling techniques, segmentation approaches, and overriding factors, understanding and adapting to these modifications is crucial for maintaining compliance and mitigating risks within your SBA lending portfolio.

New numbers are in play in the recalculation of your lender PaRRIS score and the borrower small business credit score.

Failure to comprehend and align with these changes could lead to inaccurate risk assessments, regulatory scrutiny, and potential financial consequences. The introduction of the XGB machine-learned modeling method, segmentation based on credit bureau data availability, and the consideration of overriding factors such as regulatory actions, early loan default trends, and fraud instances, have added layers of complexity to the risk rating process.

Navigating these intricacies can be daunting, especially when coupled with the need to maintain confidentiality and adhere to SBA’s guidelines for handling sensitive information.

That’s where our comprehensive webinar comes in.

Former SBA Director of OCRM and Associate Administrator Brent Ciurlino and our team of experts will guide you through the intricate details of the SBA Lender Risk Rating System changes, equipping you with the knowledge and strategies to seamlessly adapt to the new landscape.

By attending this webinar, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the goals, methodologies, and practical implications of these modifications, empowering you to make informed decisions and mitigate risks effectively.
