Arthur Kane recently published an article that cited the default rates of cigarette and liquor stores with SBA loans. The article can be found here

The article notes that "liquor stores funded by the SBA loans defaulted on more than $77 million and tobacco businesses defaulted on nearly $2.5 million on federally backed loans in the past six years, analysis of the database shows."

Although the total dollar amounts are large, it is not clear from the article whether this is a abnormal percentage of all such business that default. For instance, with the SBA's 7(a) loan program, well known franchises Quiznos and Cold Stone Creamery have default rates hovering around 30% as noted on our website previously. These are very high default rates compared to other franchises.

The article also discusses the cross-purpose of the U.S. government providing a backstop by way of SBA guaranteed loans for liquor stores and cigarette shops while conversely the U.S. government spends millions of dollars each year combating alcohol and cigarette use.

$150,000 SBA COVID EIDL - OFFER IN COMPROMISE & RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

$150,000 SBA COVID EIDL - OFFER IN COMPROMISE & RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

Our firm successfully facilitated the SBA settlement of a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) f borrower received an SBA disaster loan of $150,000, but due to the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was unable to recover.

Despite the borrower’s efforts to maintain operations, shutdowns and restrictions significantly reduced the customer base and revenue, making continued operations unsustainable. After a thorough business closure review, we negotiated with the SBA, securing a resolution where the borrower paid only $6,015 to release the collateral, with no further financial liability for the owner/officer.

This case demonstrates how businesses affected by the pandemic can navigate SBA loan settlements effectively. If your business is struggling with an SBA EIDL loan, we specialize in SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) solutions to help close outstanding debts while minimizing financial burden.
