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 SBA Debts Resolved via Offer in Compromise and Negotiated Repayment Agreements without our Clients filing for Bankruptcy or Facing Home Foreclosure
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
Our Attorneys are Authorized by the Agency Practice Act to Represent Federal Debtors Nationwide before the SBA, The SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Fiscal Service.
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.
Clients borrowed and personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. Clients defaulted on the SBA loan and were sued in federal district court for breach of contract. The SBA lender demanded the Client pledge several personal real estate properties as collateral to reinstate and secure the defaulted SBA loan. We were subsequently hired to intervene and aggressively defend the lawsuit. After several months of litigation, our attorneys negotiated a reinstatement of the SBA loan and a structured workout that did not involve any liens against the Client's personal real estate holdings.
The clients are personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. The SBA referred the debt to the Department of Treasury, which was seeking payment of $487,981 from our clients. We initially filed a Cross-Servicing Dispute, which was denied. As a result, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals asserting legal defenses and supporting evidence uncovered during the discovery and investigation phase of our services. Ultimately, the SBA settled the debt for $25,000 - saving our clients approximately $462,981.
