Many small businesses rely on SBA loans, or Small Business Administration loans, in order to get off the ground, provide funding for expansion costs, and help with working capital needs. SBA loans are backed by the federal government, making them very popular amongst small business owners. Protect Law Group is a SBA debt resolution attorney. Below, we'll offer tips to repay your SBA loan. Get in touch today!
The first step to repaying your SBA loan is to ensure you understand the terms of your loan. This includes knowing when your payment is due each month, the payment amount, and the methods of payment accepted by your lender.
One of the worst things you can do is ghost your SBA lender if you can't pay. This sends a message that you have no intentions of paying and will make them less likely to work with you on future loan payments.
Business owners are busy people, trying to run their business, make payroll, and stay compliant with all applicable laws. By setting up automatic payments for your SBA loan, you can rest assured you won't miss a payment and fall behind or incur late fees.
If you are struggling to make your SBA loan payments, one great option is to see if you qualify for a business loan refinance. This is a great way to possibly lower your interest rate and your payment amount, helping to make on-time payments moving forward.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to 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.
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. 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 we also save him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
Client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan to help with a relative’s new business venture. After the business failed, Treasury was able to secure a recurring Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against our client’s monthly Social Security Benefits based on the claim that he owed over $1.2 million dollars. We initially submitted a Cross-Servicing Dispute, but then, prepared and filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (SBA OHA). As a result of our efforts, we were able to convince the SBA to not only terminate the claimed debt of $1.2 million dollars against our client (without him having to file bankruptcy), but also refund the past recurring amounts that were offset from his Social Security Benefits in connection with the TOP levy.
