You Could Lose Your Collateral

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.

Others Could Lose Their Collateral

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 SBA or Your Lender Can Demand Repayment in Full

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 SBA or Your Lender Can Take Legal Action

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.

$140,000 SBA 7(a) LOAN – PERSONAL GUARANTY LIABILITY | NEGOTIATED 50% SETTLEMENT

$140,000 SBA 7(a) LOAN – PERSONAL GUARANTY LIABILITY | NEGOTIATED 50% SETTLEMENT

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.

$430,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

$430,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

Clients' 7(a) loan was referred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in 2015. They not only personally guaranteed the loan, but also pledged their primary residence as additional collateral.  One of the clients filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy thinking that it would discharge the SBA 7(a) lien encumbering their home. They later discovered that they were mistakenly advised. The Firm was subsequently hired to review their case and defend against a series of collection actions. Eventually, we were able to negotiate a structured workout for $180,000 directly with the SBA, saving them approximately $250,000 (by reducing the default interest rate and removing Treasury's substantial collection fees) and from possible foreclosure.

$750,000 SBA 504 LOAN - NEGOTIATED TERM REPAYMENT AGREEMENT

$750,000 SBA 504 LOAN - NEGOTIATED TERM REPAYMENT AGREEMENT

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.
