Why It Matters

Baby Boomers own 40% of U.S. small businesses—and as they prepare to sell and retire, lenders are in a pivotal position. Business acquisition loans represent 24% of SBA loan dollars and 12% of total SBA loans, but they’re riddled with complex challenges and risks.

Recent developments, including the indictment of 14 individuals in a $25M SBA loan fraud scheme, further underscore the need for vigilance in your underwriting process. Sophisticated Fraud tactics, such as filing falsified tax returns for lender verification, creating dormant shell companies, parking fake equity injections for three months, and forged documents, pose serious threats to lenders. Understanding these scams can safeguard your portfolio.
