Learn the difference between a default and a delinquent when it comes to an SBA loan, and call today for a free consultation!
Delinquent is the lender term given to those who are behind on their SBA loan payments. The small business can be behind by merely one day or months — the name doesn't change. However, being delinquent on your SBA loan means that the lender still believes you will pay the loan back.
When your SBA loan enters the default status, this is when the small business fails to meet the terms in the promissory note agreement or they are shirking other responsibilities of the loan's terms. Ultimately, an SBA default status means that the lender believes you are unable to repay your small business loan back.
If you are merely delinquent on your SBA loan, you can work with your lender to get back on track. Some options include making smaller payments, restructuring the SBA loan for you, and waiving late fees.
For the most part, the federal government wants their money back if your SBA loan enters default status. It's at this point that you should reach out to a top-rated SBA attorney in order to help you resolve the matter favorably with your lender.
Protect Law Group has years of experience in helping those whose SBA loan is in default in the state of California. Reach out to one of our SBA default attorneys for a free consultation today!

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. COVID-19 caused the business to fail, and the loan went into default with a balance of $133,000. Client initially hired a non-attorney consultant to negotiate an OIC. The SBA summarily rejected the ineligible OIC and the debt was referred to Treasury’sBureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in the debt amount of $195,000. We were hired to intervene and initiated discovery for SBA and Fiscal Service records. We were able to recall the case from Fiscal Service back to the SBA. We then negotiated a structured workout with favorable terms that saves the client approximately $198,000 over the agreed-upon workout term by waiving contractual and statutory administrative fees, collection costs, penalties, and interest.
Client received the SBA's Official 60-Day Notice for a loan that was obtained by her small business in 2001. The SBA loan went into default in 2004 but after hearing nothing from the SBA lender or the SBA for 20 years, out of the blue, she received the SBA's collection due process notice which provided her with only one of four options: (1) repay the entire accelerated balance immediately; (2) negotiate a repayment arrangement; (3) challenge the legal enforceability of the debt with evidence; or (4) request an OHA hearing before a U.S. Administrative Law Judge.
Client hired the Firm to represent her with only 13 days left before the expiration deadline to respond to the SBA's Official 60-Day Notice. The Firm attorneys immediately researched the SBA's Official loan database to obtain information regarding the 7(a) loan. Thereafter, the Firm attorneys conducted legal research and asserted certain affirmative defenses challenging the legal enforceability of the debt. A written response was timely filed to the 60-Day Notice with the SBA subsequently agreeing with the client's affirmative defenses and legal arguments. As a result, the SBA rendered a decision immediately terminating collection of the debt against the client's alleged personal guarantee liability saving her $50,000.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $150,000. Business failed and eventually shut down. SBA then pursued client for the balance. We intervened and was able to present an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
