Mastering SBA 7(a) Delinquency: Insider Tips for Servicing Loans Past 31 Days — Webinar 5/7

A Coleman Webinar
Date: Wednesday, May 7, 2025
Time: 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Includes e-certification & recording

One of the reasons SBA raised 7(a) guaranty fees last month is that the agency is seeing a spike in delinquencies and charge-offs, which lead to guaranty purchases — and greater cash outflows from the US Treasury.
Faced with a deterioration in your SBA 7(a) loan portfolio, now is the time to be proactive and ensure you are taking the prudent lending steps demanded by SBA in servicing delinquent loans.
Coleman’s award-winning SBA Servicing and Liquidation expert webinar instructor, Lance Sexton, will lead a discussion of successful insider tips he has accumulated over the years to manage an SBA loan that has passed 31 days delinquent.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes on Delinquent Loans
The SBA gives lenders wide latitude in servicing actions they may perform to solve a borrower’s hopefully temporary cash flow problems.
These actions require different strategies and a different knowledge base, particularly when the loan hits 31 days and definitely as it approaches 60 days past due.
Principal payment deferments, interest payment deferments, reamortization, release of collateral for new financing, additional collateral and note modifications are some of your options.
Lance will guide you through the various options available in your toolbox, focusing specifically on actions you can take independently and those that require SBA approval.

How to Avoid Surprise Invoices & Guaranty Denials or Repairs
Other important considerations include the management of various dates. Site visits are mandatory by a fixed date.
Tricky is the accounting for loans sold to the secondary market. The SBA will pay 120 days of interest. however if the lender does not repurchase the loan from the secondary market within that time frame the lender is responsible for ongoing interest accruals to the secondary market investor.
But the lender must clearly understand how the SBA views these dates and calculates interest. Lenders are receiving invoices for interest payments in the low five figures that they did not realize they were responsible for.
