In the event that a borrower defaults, the lender has the option to receive from SBA the face value of the outstanding guaranteed balance.9 Proceeds from the liquidation
of a firm’s assets and any subsequent recoveries are then split in proportion to the guarantee percentage. (For example, if the SBA guarantees 70 percent of the loan, it
has claim to 70 percent of recoveries.)
In the Express program, unlike regular 7(a) loans, a borrower’s assets are generally liquidated upon default and before lenders submit the loan to SBA. The lender receives all proceeds from liquidation of the borrower’s assets, and any subsequent recoveries after the lender submits the loan to SBA are split between SBA and the lender according to the guarantee percentage.
For example, assume that a borrower who has a loan with a $100,000 balance and a 50 percent guarantee defaults and that the borrower’s assets are worth $60,000. In the regular 7(a) program, the lender submits the defaulted loan to SBA and receives $50,000 (the guaranteed portion of the loan balance). When the borrower’s assets are later liquidated, the lender and SBA each receive 50 percent of the assets, or $30,000. The net loss to SBA is $20,000 (the $50,000 payment to the lender minus the $30,000 recovered from the borrower’s assets), and the net loss to the lender is also $20,000 (the $100,000 loan balance minus the $50,000 received from SBA and the $30,000 recovered from the borrower’s assets).
If the loan was made through the Express program, the lender liquidates the borrower’s assets (worth $60,000) and then submits the remaining loan balance of $40,000 to SBA. The lender then receives $20,000 (the guaranteed portion of the loan balance) from SBA. The net loss to SBA is $20,000, and the net loss to the lender is also $20,000. If an additional $1,000 is later recovered, the lender and SBA would each receive $500.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of $58,000. Client received Notice of Intent to initiate Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) Proceedings. We represented client at the Hearing and successfully defeated the AWG Order based on several legal and equitable grounds.
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 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.
