The number one reason SBA denies its 7(a) guaranty is the borrower is ineligible for SBA financing.

When a loan is approved to an ineligible borrower, the SBA guaranty is null and void. By definition, SBA can grant a loan guaranty only to an eligible small business.

This Coleman webinar will discuss SBA’s eligibility rules in a manner to make it easy for you to remember the rules, by giving you context behind the rules — the broader background of why certain businesses are ineligible. In other words. We don’t just give you a list, we explore the reasoning behind the list.

We will also update the presentation to include all SBA SOP program changes

And, there will be an in-depth discussion to ensure you are compliant with SBA’s credit elsewhere rule.

This webinar is geared for loan underwriters who wrestle with these decisions daily.

Special emphasis will address recent SBA Office of Inspector General audits recommending denial of guaranties based on borrower ineligible rulings.

Remember, a poor loan underwriting decision will probably not affect your SBA guaranty. A poor eligibility decision will invalidate your SBA guaranty.

Join Lance Sexton as he discusses the seven tests of SBA 7(a) and 504 loan borrower eligibility:

Ownership Entity
Loan Structure
Loan Purpose
Borrower Character
The Credit Elsewhere Rule
Affiliates and Franchises
