If you used collateral as any part of security for your SBA loan (this can be your home, car, or other business assets), the lender could seize these assets in order to sell and hope to recoup the money they lent to you.
If anyone else co-signed on your SBA loan, then their assets could also be at risk. The lender has the right to take assets in order to recoup their losses from anyone who guaranteed the loan.
The lender can take their case to the SBA and ask them to issue a demand letter, which is basically a legal and a formal demand for repayment of your defaulted SBA Loan.
The lender can take you to court and receive a judgment against you, giving them the right to take money from your bank account. They can also garnish your wages and your social security funds. In sum, they will take a fine tooth comb and analyze any and all business and personal assets you have in order to receive some compensation.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to 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.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. Client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but we also save him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
Clients 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.
