Servicing and Liquidation Actions Matrix

Servicing and Liquidation Actions Matrix

The Servicing and Liquidation Actions Matrix was published on SBA’s website recently. SBA has designed this matrix to be a quick reference guide for Certified Development Companies (CDCs) to determine whether specific servicing and liquidation actions can be taken under their unilateral authority - especially with regards to SBA 504 loans.

  • This new and improved version of the matrix was updated to reflect guidance in SOP 50 55, 504 Loan Servicing and Liquidation, that went into effect October 1, 2013.
  • The format of the matrix has been revised to be more user friendly and is consistent with the order of SOP 50 55.
  • This version contains more actions than the previous version.
  • Unilateral authority is based on CDC type and not Loan Type. This aligns with the Regulations governing the 504 Program that provide unilateral authority to PCLP CDCs, regardless of the loan’s delivery method.
  • ALP CDCs now have essentially the same unilateral authority as Non-PCLP CDCs. The matrix will be revised to reflect these changes.
  • SBA has developed the matrix to be utilized as a tool and is not meant to be a substitute for Program requirements. Therefore, CDCs must follow SBA Loan Program Requirements in the SOPs when taking any action, including unilateral actions.
  • CDCs must provide notification to SBA when taking any unilateral actions.
  • CDCs must document the business reason and justification for decisions and retain these and supporting documents in the loan file.
  • When taking action within a CDCs unilateral authority, SBA strongly encourages the CDC to document the loan file as such, "This action was taken under unilateral authority.”

$350,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED STRUCTURED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

$350,000 SBA 7A LOAN - NEGOTIATED STRUCTURED WORKOUT AGREEMENT

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. The 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 our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.

$391,000 SBA COVID EIDL - CROSS-SERVICING DISPUTE | NEGOTIATED REINSTATEMENT & WORKOUT

$391,000 SBA COVID EIDL - CROSS-SERVICING DISPUTE | NEGOTIATED REINSTATEMENT & WORKOUT

Client's small business obtained an SBA COVID EIDL for $301,000 pledging collateral by executing the Note, Unconditional Guarantee and Security Agreement.  The business defaulted on the loan and the SBA CESC called the Note and Guarantee, accelerated the principal balance due, accrued interest and retracted the 30-year term schedule.  

The loan was transferred to the Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service which resulted in the statutory addition of $90,000+ in administrative fees, costs, penalties and interest with the total debt now at $391.000+. Treasury also initiated a Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against the client's federal contractor payments for the full amount each month - intercepting all of its revenue and pushing the business to the brink of bankruptcy.

The Firm was hired to investigate and find an alternate solution to the bankruptcy option.  After submitting formal production requests for all government records, it was discovered that the SBA failed to send the required Official 60-Day Pre-Referral Notice to the borrower and guarantor prior to referring the debt to Treasury. This procedural due process violation served as the basis to submit a Cross-Servicing Dispute to recall the debt from Treasury back to the SBA and to negotiate a reinstatement of the original 30-year maturity date, a modified workout, cessation of the TOP levy against the federal contractor payments and removal of the $90,000+ Treasury-based collection fees, interest and penalties.

$975,000 SBA 7A LOAN - SBA OIC CASH SETTLEMENT

$975,000 SBA 7A LOAN - SBA OIC CASH SETTLEMENT

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.
