SBA Loans Explained - The 7(a) Loan

If you obtain an SBA loan—specifically a 7(a) loan—you can use the loan proceeds to help finance a great variety of business expenses. Additionally, it's important to note that the 7(a) loan is one of the most flexible loan programs offered by the SBA, catering to businesses of various sizes and industries. However, there are a few restrictions. For instance, loan funds can’t be used to purchase an asset to maintain for its potential increased value or to reimburse an owner for the money they previously put into their business.

Basic uses for 7(a) loan proceeds include:

To pay operational expenses, accounts payable and/or to purchase inventory;  

To pay contract performance, construction financing, and exporting;  

To purchase equipment, machinery, furniture, fixtures, supplies, or materials;  

To purchase real estate, including land and buildings;  

To construct a new building or renovate an existing building;  

To establish a new business or assist in the acquisition, operation, or expansion of an existing business;  

To refinance existing business debt, under certain conditions.  

Notably, the 7(a) loan program also includes specialized options to meet unique business needs, such as loans for veterans, minority-owned businesses, and rural enterprises. This video explains the 7(a) loan more. If you're in default on your 7(a) loan or are in danger of defaulting, you need to contact an SBA attorney immediately.

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.

$150,000 SBA COVID-19 EIDL – BUSINESS CLOSURE REVIEW & COLLATERAL RELEASE | NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION

$150,000 SBA COVID-19 EIDL – BUSINESS CLOSURE REVIEW & COLLATERAL RELEASE | NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION

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.
