Preparing the SBA Loan Credit Memo — New SOP and COVID Underwriting Guidance
Time: 2:00 p.m. Eastern
SBA’s new SOP 5010 6 presents SBA lenders clearer guidance of how to prepare the SBA 7(a) and 504 credit memo. With the added COVID analysis underwriting requirements don’t underestimate the penalties for non-compliance.
| A top-10 SBA 7(a) lender learned its credit-memo lessons the hard way, recently settling a Department of Justice false-claim act accusation for $7 million—plus loss of the guaranty, plus jail time for brokers—all stemming from an SBA credit memo the lender’s management believed was compliant.
The SBA’s October 1 SOP creates new challenges and opportunities in SBA 7(a) and 504 lending. Most importantly, the Inspector General has recommended denial of guaranties for all loans that don’t comply. Here’s the good news: This 75-minute webinar will make your underwriters experts on the SBA 7(a) credit memo. You’ll especially learn about the minefield of possible errors related to equity injection, collateral requirements, financial statements, working capital and eligibility rules. Above all, this event focuses especially on the most common mistakes likely to provoke red flags and punitive action by SBA auditors, let alone by the Department of Justice, loan committees, bank regulators, your board of directors and other overseers. This webinar will teach you how to prepare the credit memo efficiently, yet avoid false steps and provide an inspector-general-compliant memo. Best of all, this training is only $489 (multiple locations from the same organization is a flat fee of $589). |
