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.

Our Attorneys are Authorized by the Agency Practice Act to Represent Federal Debtors Nationwide before the SBA, The SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Fiscal Service.
Clients borrowed and personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. Clients defaulted on the SBA loan and were sued in federal district court for breach of contract. The SBA lender demanded the Client pledge several personal real estate properties as collateral to reinstate and secure the defaulted SBA loan. We were subsequently hired to intervene and aggressively defend the lawsuit. After several months of litigation, our attorneys negotiated a reinstatement of the SBA loan and a structured workout that did not involve any liens against the Client's personal real estate holdings.
Small business and guarantors obtained an SBA COVID-EIDL loan for $1,000,000. Clients defaulted causing SBA to charge-off the loan, accelerate the balance and refer the debt to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for collection. Treasury added nearly $500,000 in collection fees totaling $1,500,000. Clients were served with the SBA's Official 60-Day Notice and exercised the Repayment option by applying for the SBA’s Hardship Accommodation Plan. However, their application was summarily rejected by the SBA without providing any meaningful reasons. Clients hired the Firm to represent them against the SBA, Treasury and a Private Collection Agency. After securing government records through discovery, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings & Appeals (OHA) court challenging the SBA's referral of the debt to Treasury. During litigation and before the OHA court issued a final Decision and Order, the Firm successfully negotiated a reinstatement and recall of the loan back to the SBA, a modification of the original repayment terms, termination of Treasury's enforced collection and removal of the statutory collection fees.
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.
