Book a Consultation CallFrom Protect Law Group, an SBA Offer in Compromise is a settlement agreement between a borrower and the Small Business Administration (SBA) wherein the borrower agrees to pay a reduced amount to satisfy their outstanding debt. It offers small business owners a chance to resolve financial issues and potentially avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure.
Eligibility
To be eligible for an SBA Offer in Compromise, borrowers must demonstrate financial hardship and an inability to repay the debt in full. Factors like their financial situation, asset value, and future income potential are evaluated.
Process
The process involves assessing the borrower's financial standing, consulting with an experienced SBA loan attorney, preparing and submitting a comprehensive offer, and negotiating a settlement with the SBA. Once an agreement is reached, fulfilling the settlement terms within the designated timeframe is crucial.
Benefits
Benefits of an SBA Offer in Compromise include debt reduction, allowing borrowers to repay a more manageable amount. However, it's important to be aware of the potential temporary impact on credit scores. Recovering from financial hardship and avoiding bankruptcy can help rebuild credit in the long run. Compliance with the settlement terms is essential to prevent the revival of the original debt.

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.
