SBA loans are the lifeblood for many industries. Many small businesses fail and the most recent recession was no exception resulting in a large number of small business failures. If you defaulted on an SBA loan are you necessarily precluded from obtaining another SBA loan? You may be able to obtain an SBA loan but it will be an uphill climb.
Unless waived by SBA for good cause, the SBA cannot provide assistance to a borrower that has previously defaulted on a Federal loan or Federally assisted financing, resulting in a loss to the Federal government; or owned or controlled by a business or any of its associates which previously owned, operated, or controlled a business which defaulted on an SBA loan and caused the Federal government to sustain a loss.
When a SBA loan default occurs, the borrower and the personal guarantors are placed on the credit alert interactive voice response system (CAIVRS), which essentially amounts to a “do not lend” list.
All is not lost, you can receive a waiver from the do no lend status where you can show “good cause.” When there are compelling circumstances, the lender shall send a written request for a waiver to the SBA
office processing the loan.
The lender must explain:
(A) the circumstances surrounding the prior loss and the relationship of the applicant to the entity causing the loss; and
(B) the connection between the individuals associated with the prior loss and the individuals requesting the new assistance.
This rule applies to:
1. The small business applicant;
2. Any business in which a principal of the small business applicant was also a principal in the entity that caused the loss;
or
3. Any business controlled by the same person(s) who controlled the entity that caused the loss.

The clients are personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. The SBA referred the debt to the Department of Treasury, which was seeking payment of $487,981 from our clients. We initially filed a Cross-Servicing Dispute, which was denied. As a result, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals asserting legal defenses and supporting evidence uncovered during the discovery and investigation phase of our services. Ultimately, the SBA settled the debt for $25,000 - saving our clients approximately $462,981.
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.
The client personally guaranteed an SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to the Treasury at the time we got involved with the case. We successfully had debt recalled to the SBA where we then presented an SBA OIC that was accepted for $58,000.
