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.
SBA 7a loans have eligibility requirements, which you can find more information and legal services on what options you have in SBA 7a loans.
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.

Each of them offers the small business owner something unique, and we are going to go over the benefits and eligibility terms for these small business loans below.
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.

Millions of Dollars in SBA Debts Resolved via Offer in Compromise and Negotiated Repayment Agreements without our Clients filing for Bankruptcy or Facing Home Foreclosure
Millions of Dollars in Treasury Debts Defended Against via AWG Hearings, Treasury Offset Program Resolution, Cross-servicing Disputes, Private Collection Agency Representation, Compromise Offers and Negotiated Repayment Agreements
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.
Our firm successfully negotiated an SBA offer in compromise (SBA OIC), settling a $974,535.93 SBA loan balance for just $18,000. The offerors, personal guarantors on an SBA 7(a) loan, originally obtained financing to purchase a commercial building in Lancaster, California.
The borrower filed for bankruptcy, and the third-party lender (TPL) foreclosed on the property. Despite the loan default, the SBA pursued the offerors for repayment. Given their limited income, lack of significant assets, and approaching retirement, we presented a strong case demonstrating their financial hardship.
Through strategic negotiations, we secured a favorable SBA settlement, reducing the nearly $1 million debt to a fraction of the amount owed. This outcome allowed the offerors to resolve their liability without prolonged financial strain.
The clients are personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan. The SBA referred the debt to the Department of Treasury, which was seeking payment of $487,981 from our clients. We initially filed a Cross-Servicing Dispute, which was denied. As a result, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals asserting legal defenses and supporting evidence uncovered during the discovery and investigation phase of our services. Ultimately, the SBA settled the debt for $25,000 - saving our clients approximately $462,981.
Our firm successfully assisted a client in closing an SBA Disaster Loan tied to a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). The borrower obtained an EIDL loan of $153,800, but due to the prolonged economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was unable to recover and ultimately closed.
As part of the business closure review and audit, we worked closely with the SBA to negotiate a resolution. The borrower was required to pay only $1,625 to release the remaining collateral, effectively closing the matter without further financial liability for the owner/officer.
This case highlights the importance of strategic negotiations when dealing with SBA settlements, particularly for businesses that have shut down due to unforeseen economic challenges. If you or your business are struggling with SBA loan debt, we focus on SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) solutions to help settle outstanding obligations efficiently.
