SEM REsource Capital, Inc. (SEM) is a Michigan non-profit corporation that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) had authorized to participate as a Certified Development Company (CDC) in the Agency’s 504 loan program. As of October 31, 2013, SEM had approximately 255 SBA 504 loans in its portfolio with a total outstanding balance of approximately $131 million.
On Friday, January 31, 2014, based upon the regulatory non-compliance grounds set forth in the Final Agency Decision, SBA permanently revoked SEM’s ability to participate in the 504 lending program and required SEM to permanently transfer its entire 504 portfolio of SBA loans to Global Management Services, a third-party servicer acting on SBA’s behalf.
For more information, the SBA’s Final Agency Decision in its entirety can be found on the SBA’s website here: https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/SEM-Final-Agency-Decision(1-31-14)-website_Redacted.pdf

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. The 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 our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
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 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.
