SBA Collateral Insurance Coverage: A 2025 Update – 12/4

Cancellation Strategies — Force Place or Waive?
Analysis Required in the Credit Memo
Servicing Action Documentation Required for the File

A Coleman Webinar
Date: Wednesday, December 4, 2024
Time: 2:00 p.m. Eastern

Includes e-certification & recording

One of the topics at the recent NAGGL conference was how SBA lenders must react to a recent movement by the insurance industry to cancel or greatly reduce their exposure from natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes.

Lenders must follow SBA regulations and decide whether to force-place insurance or waive the requirement. In any event, lender documentation must be perfect in case the loan defaults and must be presented to SBA for a purchase of the guarantee.

Coleman Professional Faculty Instructor and SBA servicing and liquidation expert Lance Sexton will share the knowledge he gained at the recent conference about what actions SBA wants lenders to take, both proactively and reactively.

He will outline the unilateral decisions you may make as a PLP lender and when you need to obtain SBA’’s approval. In any case, documentation is key, and he will instruct you on what these memos must contain.

Did you know there are 15 types of insurance coverage listed in SBA SOP 50 10? (Hint!) These include hazard, wind, hail, earthquake, state-mandated, marine, flood, life, liability, product liability, dram shop/host liquor liability, malpractice, disability, and worker’s compensation. Lance will cover each of these topics and how to address insurance covering required collateral.

He will review what underwriters must address in the credit memo insurance requirements for loans less than and greater than $500,000, as well as proper closing procedures.

Careful attention will be paid to ensure you know how to match insurance requirements with the use of proceeds and collateral. Importantly, participants will also understand varying insurance requirements demanded by SBA based on the loan amount.

The SOP gives the prudent lender the ability to waive insurance. The webinar will discuss the circumstances under which prudent lenders may waive insurance and what you need to do to document the loan file.
