SBA 7a loans for your business can make the difference between keeping your business afloat or losing it. SBA7a loans were created for that reason.
No one wants to see you lose the business you dreamed of and worked hard to obtain. You now need an SBA 7a loan but can't figure out how to get one. You might have an SBA 7a loan already and need to modify it.

If you are going to deal with an SBA small business loan it's important to understand what it is. An SBA7a loan offers you a finance option guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The reason the SBA loans are so popular and needed by many small businesses is important to understand. The SBA loans reduce the risk on the part of any lender and are also guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
Its basic creation was built for businesses that cannot find other or more traditional loans. You can then use the loan with the SBA loan guarantee for whatever your small business needs to succeed. Frequently it is for starting up a small business, getting an influx of cash in a business a bit stagnant or other varied reasons.
A few of the best things about an SBA small business loan is;
There are nine types of SBA small business loans, and we are going to go over them all so you have the most relevant information on what an SBA small business loan can offer you.
Ther nine types of SBA small business loans include:

These are the typical small business loans many people know and use with the SBA. But we are going to tell you about some other ones you may not know about.
The SBA recognizes you may need capital for your business in a hurry. They also understand you and your business are at a make or break time. So they created the 7(a) Express Loan.
The SBA also has some SBA loans designed for a designated group of people to help them ope or sustain their businesses.
When you are considering a loan from the SBA, you need to understand they are flexible and provide you a lower payment. Most of the time interest rates range between 2.25% - 4.75%. The interest rates are lower than conventional loans and the SBA 7a loans are easier to get.
You can also use the loan funding for projects that help your business grow and develop. You won't have balloon payments to worry about, and will have money to cover soft costs. But your business must qualify as a small business for all the SBA loans. The government has a 'small business' definition you must meet, and any mid-sized businesses won't meet the guidelines.

Clients personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan that was referred to the Department of Treasury for collection. Treasury claimed our clients owed over $220,000 once it added its statutory collection fees and interest. We were able to negotiate a significant reduction of the total claimed amount from $220,000 to $119,000, saving the clients over $100,000 by arguing for a waiver of the statutory 28%-30% administrative fees and costs.
Clients obtained an SBA 7(a) loan for $324,000 to buy a small business and its facility. The business and real estate had an appraisal value of $318,000 at the time of purchase. The business ultimately failed but the participating lender abandoned the business equipment and real estate collateral even though it had valid security liens. As a result, the lender recouped nearly nothing from the pledged collateral, leaving the business owners liable for the deficiency balance. The SBA paid the lender the 7(a) guaranty money and was assigned ownership of the debt, including the right to collect. However, the clients never received the SBA Official 60-Day Notice and were denied the opportunity to negotiate an Offer in Compromise (OIC) or a Workout directly with the SBA before being transferred to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service, which added an additional $80,000 in collection fees. Treasury garnished and offset the clients' wages, federal salary and social security benefits. When the clients tried to negotiate with Treasury by themselves, they were offered an unaffordable repayment plan which would have caused severe financial hardship. Clients subsequently hired the Firm to litigate an Appeals Petition before the SBA Office & Hearings Appeals (OHA) challenging the legal enforceability and amount of the debt. The Firm successfully negotiated a term OIC that was approved by the SBA Office of General Counsel, saving the clients approximately $205,000.
Our firm successfully resolved an SBA COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) in the original amount of $150,000 for a Florida-based borrower. The loan, issued on June 4, 2020, was secured by business assets and potential personal liability through the SBA's Security Agreement.
Following the permanent closure of the business, we guided the client through the SBA’s Business Closure Review process and prepared a comprehensive collateral analysis. We negotiated directly with the SBA, obtaining a full release of the business collateral for $2,910 — satisfying the borrower’s obligations under the Security Agreement and eliminating any further enforcement risk against the pledged assets.
