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 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.
Clients' 7(a) loan was referred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for enforced collection in 2015. They not only personally guaranteed the loan, but also pledged their primary residence as additional collateral. One of the clients filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy thinking that it would discharge the SBA 7(a) lien encumbering their home. They later discovered that they were mistakenly advised. The Firm was subsequently hired to review their case and defend against a series of collection actions. Eventually, we were able to negotiate a structured workout for $180,000 directly with the SBA, saving them approximately $250,000 (by reducing the default interest rate and removing Treasury's substantial collection fees) and from possible foreclosure.
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.
