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 personally guaranteed SBA 504 loan balance of $750,000. Clients also pledged the business’s equipment/inventory and their home as additional collateral. Clients had agreed to a voluntary sale of their home to pay down the balance. We intervened and rejected the proposed home sale. Instead, we negotiated an acceptable term repayment agreement and release of lien on the home.
Client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan to help with a relative’s new business venture. After the business failed, Treasury was able to secure a recurring Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against our client’s monthly Social Security Benefits based on the claim that he owed over $1.2 million dollars. We initially submitted a Cross-Servicing Dispute, but then, prepared and filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (SBA OHA). As a result of our efforts, we were able to convince the SBA to not only terminate the claimed debt of $1.2 million dollars against our client (without him having to file bankruptcy), but also refund the past recurring amounts that were offset from his Social Security Benefits in connection with the TOP levy.
