Small business owners may face serious financial difficulties. When these difficulties present issues such as foreclosure, the owner must take immediate action to prevent seizure of their property. An attorney helps these business owners acquire an SBA Offer in Compromise to prevent these issues.
The business owner must take action as soon as they receive the SBA demand letter. They should bring the letter to their attorney for further review. The attorney needs the loan contract acquired by the business owner as well. The terms dictate what actions are possible to prevent foreclosure. These terms tell the attorney what they need to do to approach the lender to acquire the compromise and prevent further legal action.
An SBA loan foreclosure gives the lender the right to seize the property for sale. These government loans are secured by a guarantee that the business owner will pay at least a specific percentage. The loan documents dictate the total value of the guarantee. It may present the business owner with the opportunity to negotiate a reduced settlement. If they have generated equity in the property, the attorney could acquire this reduction easily.
Thea attorney acquires a guarantee for the settlement value. This prevents the lender from changing their mind and fighting against the business owner. The attorney helps the business owner manage the terms of the settlement and submit the required value without issues. They prevent further repercussions of an SBA loan default through these measures.
Businesses that are in financial trouble may also face overwhelming tax liabilities. The attorney helps them through a Tax Offset Program. The program helps them to acquire a settlement through the IRS.
Small businesses need further assistance when they face foreclosure. An attorney helps them to manage government-backed loans. These loans require a specific value to settle them properly. They also provide extra protection for the borrower. Business owners who are facing adverse legal action including foreclosure should contact an attorney today.

Clients executed several trust deeds pledging seven (7) real estate properties and unconditional personal guarantees for an SBA 7(a) loan from the participating lender. The clients' small business failed and eventually defaulted on repayment of the loan exposing all collateral pledged by the clients. The SBA subsequently acquired the loan balance from the lender, including the right to liquidate and collect all pledged collateral pursuant to the trust deed instruments.
The Firm was hired to negotiate separate release of lien proposals for all 7 real estate properties. In preparation for the work assignment, the Firm Attorneys initiated discovery to secure records from the SBA and Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. After reviewing the records and understanding the interplay between the lender and the SBA, the attorneys then prepared, submitted and negotiated the release of lien (ROL) for each of the 7 real estate properties for consideration.
After submitting the proposals, the assigned SBA Loan Specialists approved each ROL package - significantly reducing the total SBA debt claimed.
The client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. His business revenue decreased significantly causing default and an accelerated balance of $143,000. The client received the SBA's Official 60-day notice with the debt scheduled for referral to the Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection in less than 26 days. We were hired to represent him, respond to the SBA's Official 60-day notice, and prevent enforced collection by the Treasury and the Department of Justice. We successfully negotiated a structured workout with an extended maturity date that included a reduction of the 14% interest rate and removal of substantial collection fees (30% of the loan balance), effectively saving the client over $242,000.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of $58,000. The client received a notice of Intent to initiate Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) Proceedings. We represented the client at the hearing and successfully defeated the AWG Order based on several legal and equitable grounds.
