Book a Consultation CallWondering how to fill out a personal financial statement? When you're filling out this document, it's crucial to understand how to do it correctly. Filling out the document correctly can keep you from having to go back and do it again.
In this article, we will give you a step-by-step guide to filling it out. By the end of the guide, you'll be able to complete and submit the required paperwork.
Much like other forms that you've ever filled out when beginning an SBA Form 413, you'll need to have all your basic information easily accessible to fill out the application. The information that you'll need is your name, address, and other contact information. If you’ve moved recently, ensure that you provide your current address as SBA places importance on accurate and updated records to streamline the approval process.
You'll also need to note your marital status on the form if you're married. Your spouse's financial information should be listed as well. Ensure that you date your application accurately because the paperwork needs to be filed within 90 days of your loan application.
Before beginning the application, all your information needs to be up to date. If it's not up to date, you may experience some issues with your application.
The next piece of information that you need to add to the application is the information that pertains to your assets. In the assets section, you'll detail information about the assets that you own, including:
Real estate properties
Bonds and stocks
IRA accounts
Bank accounts
As of new guidelines, ensure you also include the current market value of each asset, as these figures are crucial for accurate evaluation by lenders.
If you own any stocks or bonds, list the current value of all the accounts combined. If you or your spouse owns real estate, then you'll need to list the value of the properties that you all currently own.
This field asks for the value of all the assets under your or your spouse's name. At the end of this section, you'll provide the total for everything that's listed above.
All that's required in this section is to round all your asset information up to the nearest dollar amount. You'll total all the debt that you owe and subtract the amount you've gotten from that total from your assets. Remember to disclose all recent debts, including those incurred due to regulatory changes affecting your financial situation. This keeps your application transparent and up-to-date.
Once you've subtracted this number, you'll have figured out the total of your net worth. From there, you'll combine your total liabilities and net worth.
When you arrive at this section, you'll need to give information about the salary earned by you and your spouse if they are currently working. The salary that you list on your paperwork should be the same as the information that you provide on your tax returns for the year.
The next part that you'll list is the income that you achieve from all your investments. This would mean investments that you've made from stocks, bonds, real estate ventures, etc. In terms of real estate income, you'll also need to provide information about the money you earned from your real estate properties after necessary expenses have been spent.
Contingent liabilities involve debts that you've guaranteed for others. If you or your spouse were a co-signer for someone else’s loan, that should be recorded here. If you’ve incurred any legal fees or judgments, include them. Recent regulation changes mean that lenders are paying closer attention to this information to assess overall risk, to ensure accurate reporting.
If you and your spouse have life insurance, include your policy number and details about the policyholder. State the total coverage amount and the insurance company, as well as the names of any beneficiaries. Under the latest guidelines, you may also need to submit proof of your life insurance value as part of your overall financial picture.
You're in the home stretch of the application now. All that's left for you to do is sign all the authorization statements on the form. The certification statement is a short paragraph that needs to be read thoroughly before signing it.
Once you're ready to sign the document, you'll provide your name, today's date, and your social security number. Then after filling in all this information, all that's left to do is sign the form.
Now, after all that has taken place, you need to review your documents. You'll need to ensure that all the information you've provided on the application is correct and accurate. Double-check your spouse’s information as well to avoid errors.
If any of the information on the application is false or left out, you could face fines and other penalties. You may also have to complete the entire application again. Therefore, it saves you time and effort, providing all the necessary information the first time.

Millions of Dollars in SBA Debts Resolved via Offer in Compromise and Negotiated Repayment Agreements without our Clients filing for Bankruptcy or Facing Home Foreclosure
Millions of Dollars in Treasury Debts Defended Against via AWG Hearings, Treasury Offset Program Resolution, Cross-servicing Disputes, Private Collection Agency Representation, Compromise Offers and Negotiated Repayment Agreements
Our Attorneys are Authorized by the Agency Practice Act to Represent Federal Debtors Nationwide before the SBA, The SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Fiscal Service.
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 his 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.
Clients obtained an SBA 7(a) loan for their small business in the amount of $298,000. They pledged their primary residence and personal guarantees as direct collateral for the loan. The business failed, the lender was paid the 7(a) guaranty money and the debt was assigned to the SBA. Clients received the Official 60-Day Notice giving them a couple of options to resolve the debt balance directly with the SBA before referral to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. The risk of referral to Treasury would add nearly $95,000 to the SBA principal loan balance. With the default interest rate at 7.5%, the amount of money to pay toward interest was projected at $198,600. Clients hired the Firm with only 4 days left to respond to the 60-Day due process notice. Because the clients were not eligible for an Offer in Compromise (OIC) due to the significant equity in their home and the SBA lien encumbering it, the Firm Attorneys proposed a Structured Workout to resolve the SBA debt. After back and forth negotiations, the SBA Loan Specialist assigned to the case approved the Workout terms which prevented potential foreclosure of their home, but also saved the clients approximately $294,000 over the agreed-upon Workout term with a waiver of all contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
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.
