It's crucial that you understand the SBA loan default collection process so that you can come to terms with your lender. First, the SBA will send you a 60-day demand letter. This is a letter that states you have 60 days to arrange for payment before it goes to collection.
Of course, you want to respond to your lenders and be willing to work with them in order to ensure you don't lose everything. An SBA offer in compromise is available for those businesses that are no longer in operation and that have sold all of their assets in an attempt to pay down their debt. An offer in compromise is settlement.
Your offer in compromise may be accepted or rejected, whereby you can submit another offer. The SBA or your lender may forgive all or part of your debt, which, for many, is ideal.
With so much at stake, especially if you've put up your home as collateral, it's crucial that you partner with a top-rated SBA loan default attorney who understands the laws and can work to ensure you have the most favorable terms possible.

Clients borrowed and personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. Clients defaulted on the SBA loan and were sued in federal district court for breach of contract. The SBA lender demanded the Client pledge several personal real estate properties as collateral to reinstate and secure the defaulted SBA loan. We were subsequently hired to intervene and aggressively defend the lawsuit. After several months of litigation, our attorneys negotiated a reinstatement of the SBA loan and a structured workout that did not involve any liens against the Client's personal real estate holdings.
Our firm successfully resolved an SBA 7(a) loan default in the amount of $140,000 on behalf of a husband-and-wife guarantor pair. The business had closed following a prolonged decline in revenue, leaving the borrowers personally liable for the remaining balance.
After conducting a comprehensive financial analysis and preparing a detailed SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) package, we negotiated directly with the SBA and the lender to achieve a settlement for $70,000 — just 50% of the outstanding balance. This settlement released the borrowers from further personal liability and allowed them to move forward without the threat of enforced collection.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. COVID-19 caused the business to fail, and the loan went into default with a balance of $133,000. Client initially hired a non-attorney consultant to negotiate an OIC. The SBA summarily rejected the ineligible OIC and the debt was referred to Treasury’s ureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in the debt amount of $195,000. We were hired to intervene and initiated discovery for SBA and Fiscal Service records. We were able to recall the case from Fiscal Service back to the SBA. We then negotiated a structured workout with favorable terms that saves the client approximately $198,000 over the agreed-upon workout term by waiving contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
