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 7(a) loan balance of over $300,000. Clients also pledged their homes as additional collateral. SBA OIC accepted $87,000 with the full lien release against the home.

The client personally guaranteed an SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to the Treasury at the time we got involved with the case. We successfully had debt recalled to the SBA where we then presented an SBA OIC that was accepted for $58,000.

Our firm successfully facilitated the SBA settlement of a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) where borrower received an SBA disaster loan of $150,000, but due to the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was unable to recover.
Despite the borrower’s efforts to maintain operations, shutdowns and restrictions significantly reduced the customer base and revenue, making continued operations unsustainable. After a thorough business closure review, we negotiated with the SBA, securing a resolution where the borrower paid only $6,015 to release the collateral, with no further financial liability for the owner/officer.
This case demonstrates how businesses affected by the pandemic can navigate SBA loan settlements effectively. If your business is struggling with an SBA EIDL loan, we specialize in SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) solutions to help close outstanding debts while minimizing financial burden.
