Book a Consultation CallIf you obtain an SBA loan—specifically a 7(a) loan—you can use the loan proceeds to help finance a great variety of business expenses. Additionally, it's important to note that the 7(a) loan is one of the most flexible loan programs offered by the SBA, catering to businesses of various sizes and industries. However, there are a few restrictions. For instance, loan funds can’t be used to purchase an asset to maintain for its potential increased value or to reimburse an owner for the money they previously put into their business.
Basic uses for 7(a) loan proceeds include:
To pay operational expenses, accounts payable and/or to purchase inventory;
To pay contract performance, construction financing, and exporting;
To purchase equipment, machinery, furniture, fixtures, supplies, or materials;
To purchase real estate, including land and buildings;
To construct a new building or renovate an existing building;
To establish a new business or assist in the acquisition, operation, or expansion of an existing business;
To refinance existing business debt, under certain conditions.
Notably, the 7(a) loan program also includes specialized options to meet unique business needs, such as loans for veterans, minority-owned businesses, and rural enterprises. This video explains the 7(a) loan more. If you're in default on your 7(a) loan or are in danger of defaulting, you need to contact an SBA attorney immediately.

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

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of $58,000. The client received a notice of Intent to initiate Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) Proceedings. We represented the client at the hearing and successfully defeated the AWG Order based on several legal and equitable grounds.
Small business sole proprietor obtained an SBA COVID-EIDL loan for $500,000. Client defaulted causing SBA to charge-off the loan, accelerate the balance and refer the debt to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection. Treasury added $180,000 in collection fees totaling $680,000+. Client tried to negotiate with Treasury but was only offered a 3-year or 10-year repayment plan. Client hired the Firm to represent before the SBA, Treasury and a Private Collection Agency. After securing government records through discovery and reviewing them, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings & Appeals (OHA) court challenging the SBA's referral of the debt to Treasury citing a host of purported violations. The Firm was able to negotiate a reinstatement and recall of the loan back to the SBA, participation in the Hardship Accommodation Plan, termination of Treasury's enforced collection and removal of the statutory collection fees.
The client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. His business revenue decreased significantly causing default and an accelerated balance of $143,000. The client received the SBA's Official 60-day notice with the debt scheduled for referral to the Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection in less than 26 days. We were hired to represent him, respond to the SBA's Official 60-day notice, and prevent enforced collection by the Treasury and the Department of Justice. We successfully negotiated a structured workout with an extended maturity date that included a reduction of the 14% interest rate and removal of substantial collection fees (30% of the loan balance), effectively saving the client over $242,000.
