The New SBA 7(a) Manufacturer $5 Million Working Capital Loan Program: Advanced Training for Underwriters, Closers & Servicers — 9/24

A Coleman Webinar
Date: Wednesday, September 24
Time: 2:00 p.m. Eastern

Includes e-certification & recording

On October 1, 2025, SBA launches the Manufacturers’ Access to Revolving Credit (MARC) Program, a groundbreaking 7(a) initiative designed specifically for U.S. manufacturers. With loan sizes up to $5 million, guaranties up to $3.75 million, and proceeds restricted to working capital only, MARC introduces a new loan product for SBA  lenders.

Unlike traditional SBA loans, MARC comes with heightened underwriting, closing, and — most importantly — servicing requirements. Revolving MARC loans must undergo annual reviews, DSCR retesting, collateral monitoring, and potential conversion to term loans. 

SBA has made it clear: these loans require active, ongoing management.

Coleman brings you the expert  in-depth training on MARC on how to meet the needs of our manufacturing clients, while protecting your SBA guaranty. The industry’s premier instructor, Lance Sexton will break down the new SOP 5010 8 Appendix 13 and give underwriters, closers, and servicers the practical tools to originate, close, and — critically — service MARC loans in compliance with SBA’s elevated standards.

This training is advanced and  ensures your experienced underwriting, closing, and servicing teams know exactly how to comply with MARC’s new rules and protect the SBA guaranty.

Underwriters: Writing the MARC Credit Memo

Learn how to meet SBA’s new SBA 5010 8 MARC underwriting requirements by:

  • Documenting borrower eligibility under NAICS 31–33.
  • Underwriting MARC’s ≥ 1:1 DSCR test, including projections and interest-only structures.
  • Structuring the loan to restrict proceeds to working capital only and spreading pro forma balance sheets accordingly.
  • Addressing collateral rules unique to MARC — including mandatory liens on trading assets for revolving facilities.
  • Incorporating SBA’s annual review and term-out provisions into your credit analysis.

Closers: Closing Loans Under MARC’s Unique Rules

Gain the knowledge to protect your guaranty by:

  • Preparing loan agreements with required annual review and conversion-to-term provisions.
  • Filing liens on all assets, including trading assets for revolving structures.
  • Verifying insurance requirements (life, hazard, liability) are met at closing.
  • Coding MARC loans correctly in E-Tran to meet SBA designation requirements.

Servicers: Meeting MARC’s Heightened Servicing Standards

MARC loans demand far more than routine oversight. You will learn how to:

  • Conduct SBA-mandated annual reviews for revolving loans, beginning in Year 2.
  • Test and document DSCR to ensure continued eligibility under MARC’s ≥ 1:1 cash flow rules.
  • Convert revolving lines into fully amortizing term loans when borrowers fail to qualify.
  • Collect SBA approved lender extraordinary servicing fees (50 bps on maximum loan amount or 2% on asset-based lines) correctly.
  • Spot and immediately refinance any improper use of proceeds (e.g., fixed asset purchases) within 90 days.
  • Follow SBA SOP 50 57 for deferrals (up to 6 months) and extensions (up to 10 years).
  • Maintain the continuous monitoring and documentation SBA now requires to protect the guaranty.

Why This Matters

Failing to meet MARC’s heightened requirements could mean:

  • Loss of guaranty if annual reviews or DSCR tests are not documented.
  • Forced term-out conversions when lenders miss SBA monitoring triggers.
  • Repair or denial risk if collateral liens (including trading assets) are not perfected.
  • Regulatory scrutiny for improper use of proceeds or missing refinance actions.
  • Increased portfolio risk if extraordinary servicing standards are not followed.
