You signed a personal guarantee for an SBA loan, either a limited or unlimited guarantee. You've had a falling out with your business partners and you want out of the guarantee. Do you have any options?
Yes, you can be released from the guarantee or substitute in another guarantor with the following considerations:
(1) The status of the loan. It should be current in all respects without a history of unjustified delinquencies, unpaid taxes, or deferment of installments.
(2) Written requests. The field office must have a written request from the borrower, the guarantor to be released, or the proposed substitute.
(3) Consent of other parties. The written consent of all parties (e.g., other guarantors, standby creditors, etc.) must be obtained before the transaction is finalized.
(4) Opinion of counsel. You must obtain the opinion of SBA counsel showing that no legal rights of the Agency will be adversely affected.
(5) Sale or reorganization. Where a request is received for the release of a guarantor because of reorganization or sale of the firm, you must provide full information as to the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. The SBA must take care to ensure that the guarantor's position is not improved at the expense of SBA, or that a possible loss to the guarantor is not passed on to the Agency. The guarantor should not be permitted to substitute SBA for his or her ownership position
(6) Evaluation of substitute guarantors. Before the SBA can recommend accepting a substitute guarantor in place of the original, the SBA will analyze/compare the values of the guarantors. The borrower must furnish personal financial statements and any other information satisfactory to the approving official.
If you can make it through the SBA gauntlet it is possible to be released from your guarantee. If you are facing this or other SBA loan problems, please contact us at 888-756-9969 for a consultation.

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.
Our firm successfully assisted a client in closing an SBA Disaster Loan tied to a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). The borrower obtained an EIDL loan of $153,800, but due to the prolonged economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was unable to recover and ultimately closed.
As part of the business closure review and audit, we worked closely with the SBA to negotiate a resolution. The borrower was required to pay only $1,625 to release the remaining collateral, effectively closing the matter without further financial liability for the owner/officer.
This case highlights the importance of strategic negotiations when dealing with SBA settlements, particularly for businesses that have shut down due to unforeseen economic challenges. If you or your business are struggling with SBA loan debt, we focus on SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) solutions to help settle outstanding obligations efficiently.
Our firm successfully negotiated an SBA offer in compromise (SBA OIC), settling a $974,535.93 SBA loan balance for just $18,000. The offerors, personal guarantors on an SBA 7(a) loan, originally obtained financing to purchase a commercial building in Lancaster, California.
The borrower filed for bankruptcy, and the third-party lender (TPL) foreclosed on the property. Despite the loan default, the SBA pursued the offerors for repayment. Given their limited income, lack of significant assets, and approaching retirement, we presented a strong case demonstrating their financial hardship.
Through strategic negotiations, we secured a favorable SBA settlement, reducing the nearly $1 million debt to a fraction of the amount owed. This outcome allowed the offerors to resolve their liability without prolonged financial strain.
