In a typical SBA loan default situation, the main problem is for the personal guarantor (the "PG"). Depending on the SBA loan structure, the PG may have allowed for a lien on their personal real property as well as put their personal assets on the line should they default. Many times, PG's believe that after their company defaulted on the SBA loan and the business property was liquidated that was the end of the story for the SBA loan default. The reality is that the PG's personal assets are at risk. Unfortunately, with SBA loans, the personal guarantee is a standard form with standard terms. However, if you are negotiating a non-SBA business loan, this article offers some helpful hints for negotiating the personal guarantee.

Clients personally guaranteed SBA 504 loan balance of $750,000. Clients also pledged the business’s equipment/inventory and their home as additional collateral. Clients had agreed to a voluntary sale of their home to pay down the balance. We intervened and rejected the proposed home sale. Instead, we negotiated an acceptable term repayment agreement and release of lien on the home.
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.
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.
