Juggling the management of your SBA lending department and loan portfolio is challenging and difficult — but rewarding on a number of levels for everyone when a plan is successfully executed.

But, at the end of the day, the number one priority is to ensure the SBA loan guaranty is valid — on each and every loan.

Coleman’s co-webinar instructors are here to help to ensure you achieve this goal. Lance Sexton and Leslie Tripp will present the top 30 SBA loan exceptions they are tracking in 2024.

Leslie will bring her expertise as a loan portfolio reviewer from her audits performed in 2023 and Lance will add his experience over the years of preparing the paperwork to collect on SBA’s loan guaranty.

You will learn the top reasons for SBA 7(a) loan guaranty and denial.

We’ll start with the following SBA posted topics and Lance and Leslie will add their own findings on:

  • Lien and collateral issues that result in missed recoveries (generally a repair) include:
    • Failure to obtain required lien position
    • Failure to properly perfect security interest
    • Failure to fully collateralize loan at origination when additional collateral was available
  • Unauthorized use of proceeds:
    • Proceeds disbursed for purpose(s) inconsistent with the loan authorization or subsequent modifications without a business justification. (Could be a Denial if early default and improper use of proceeds caused the failure of the business)
    • Same lender Non-SBA loan paid with PLP loan proceeds (preference)
  • Liquidation deficiencies (generally a repair unless harm is the full value of the outstanding balance):
    • Failure to conduct site visit which resulted in missed recoveries
    • Improper safeguarding or disposition of collateral which resulted in missed recoveries
    • Misapplication of recoveries to lender’s loan when SBA-guaranteed loan has lien priority
  • Undocumented servicing actions (generally a repair):
    • Liens not properly renewed during servicing on worthwhile collateral
    • Release or subordination of collateral without documented business justification
    • Allowing hazard insurance to lapse on major collateral and collateral was subsequently destroyed
    • Failure to maintain life insurance on principal and principal subsequently dies
  • Early defaults (denial if determined to be reason for business failure):
    • Missing or unsupported verification of required equity injection (includes verification of source in some cases)
    • Missing or unsupported documentation of verification of borrower financial information with IRS when financial information was relied on in lender’s credit analysis
  • SBA loan eligibility (denial):
    • Ineligible franchise
    • Ineligible loan purpose
    • Ineligible loan recipient (loan to an associate of lender)
