31 Top Issues Found No Express Authorization in Credit file
For LOC, must include maturity date in note Ex. On demand but no later than 04/xx/2022

32 SBA Credit Scoring for loans up $350,000
All applications begin with credit scoring Predict risk more accurately than complex underwriting Similar to liquid credit from FICO/Dun & Bradstreet Takes information from Business Credit Bureau to generate score Commercial loan, lease, and card data Number of trades and utilization Sales Figures Number of years in business Number of Employees Ratio information as compared to industry averages Guarantor credit scores Does not apply to SBA Express Loans

33

34 Credit Score a Loan Begin in ETRAN Input required data
Loan details Owners of 20% or more name, SSN, address Business name, address, phone, EIN, DUNS (if available) Click the Check Credit Score button* Credit Score will be generated *soft credit hit to applicants

35 Loan scored less than 140? Go SBA Express Send it in to SBA
Resubmit under SBA Express for 50% guaranty No questions asked Send it in to SBA PLP lenders can use their delegated authority OR submit to LGPC for reconsideration Non-PLP lenders must submit the full 10-tab to LGPC for review Note: Lender does a full underwriting as required for a Large 7(a) loan

36 Credit Analysis An Acceptable Credit Score indicates the applicant is credit worthy: There is no need to discuss the following in your credit analysis: Credit history of the applicant The strength of the business Historical earning and projected cash flow The applicants ability to repay the loan No debt service coverage requirement Financials still must be obtained, but don’t need to be spread IRS 4506-T is still required: Verifies the business is small Verifies the business pays taxes Fraud prevention

37 Credit Analysis Continued…
Still Must Cover: Business History Management Team Analysis Length of Time in business, undercurrent management, depth of the management, industry or related experience Analysis based on lender’s policies and procedures for similarly sized non-SBA guaranteed loans: Owner/Guarantor Analysis PFS analysis Obtain personal financials & complete an analysis based on personal cash flow analysis or credit scoring Equity and Debt-to-Worth must be analyzed Equity injection requirements match lender’s similarly sized non- SBA guaranteed loans

38 Collateral, Affiliates & Credit Memo
List collateral and estimated values, if secured Appraisals & formal valuations are not required unless they would normally be required by the lender on non-SBA Guaranteed loans Affiliates Consideration Size Determination Outstanding Guarantee Eligibility Repayment ability – will they positively or negatively impact the borrower’s ability to repay the SBA Guaranteed loan Credit Memo Template Part A states the customer’s credit score Part B covers the remaining points. SBA does not require you use our “template” Q & A will be out within the next couple weeks Memo Sample will be out within the next couple weeks

39 Credit Memo Sample

40 What Else? Multiple Loans in a 90 day Period – Second loan takes the customer over the $350,000 Aggregate Customer’s Second Loan MUST be underwritten to large 7a standards CASH FLOW ANALYSIS CANNOT BE WAIVED If a loan goes to purchase: Debt Service Coverage will NOT be a point of discussion at purchase if: The loan was approved on or after July 1, 2014 The loan scored 140 or higher The loan was not the companion loan that pushed the borrower’s aggregate loan amount over $350,000 within a 90 day period Small 7(a) Loan Purchases will be handled in Little Rock Remember 90 day rule on guaranty percentage, fees, and NOW UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS as well

41 Credit Memo For Loans of $350,000 or Less
For Loans of $350,000 or Less Lenders must verify and reconcile the applicant’s financial data against income tax data prior to submitting a request for guaranty for a loan of $350,000 or less using Standard, CLP, or PLP processing. Prior to submission for all non delegated loans Prior to disbursement for delegated loans

42 Equity Injection Lenders must verify the injection prior to disbursing loan proceeds and must maintain evidence of such verification in their loan files. Verifying a cash injection requires the following documentation: A copy of a check or wire transfer along with evidence that the check or wire was processed showing the funds were moved into the borrower’s account or escrow; A copy of the statements of account for the account from which the funds are being withdrawn for each of the two most recent months prior to disbursement showing that the funds were available; and A subsequent statement of the borrower’s account showing that the funds were deposited or a copy of an escrow settlement statement showing the use of the cash. A promissory note, “gift letter” or financial statement is not sufficient evidence of cash injection without corroborating evidence consistent with paragraph above Lender must determine if the equity and the pro-forma debt-to-worth are acceptable based on its policies and procedures for its similarly-sized, non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans. If the lender requires an equity injection and, as part of its policies and procedures for its similarly-sized, non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans verifies the equity injection, it must do so for SBA loans.

43 SBA Application Process
CHAPTER 2: ELIGIBILITY FOR 7(A) GUARANTY LOAN PROGRAM INTRODUCTION This section discusses the steps necessary to determine if a Small Business Applicant is eligible for an SBA guaranteed loan. The eligibility issues that apply to the lender or the structure of the loan are discussed elsewhere. Eligibility should be determined as early in the loan making process as possible.

For a change of ownership, the lender must verify the seller’s business tax returns or a sole proprietor’s Schedule C. Where there is an acquisition of a division or a segment of an existing business, other forms of verification may be used in lieu of the 4506-T (e.g. Sales tax payment records). SOP(G), Page 182

Nolle prosequi = unwilling to prosecute

54 912 Processing Normal Processing time is 6-8 weeks
Name Checks take longer to process FBI recently installed new computer reporting system SOP 50(G), Page 90

55 Real Estate Acquisition
If loan proceeds are to be used to purchase or construct real estate, we look for “owner occupancy” Eligible Small Business must: Occupy 51% + of an existing facility or 60% of a newly constructed facility on day one, with expansion to 80% in 10 years

56 Debt Refinancing: Unreasonable Terms
Existing debt is presently on unreasonable terms if it is: a) short or long term debt structured with a demand note or balloon payment; b) debt with an interest rate that exceeds the SBA maximum interest rate for the processing method used; c) credit card obligations used for business related purposes; d) debt that is over collateralized (however, the SBA guaranteed loan must meet SBA collateral requirements). e) revolving lines of credit (short or long term) where the original lender is unwilling to renew the line or the applicant is restructuring its financing in order to obtain a lower interest rate or longer term; f) debt with a maturity that was not appropriate for the purpose of the financing (e.g. a 3 year term loan to finance a piece of equipment with a useful life of 15 years); g) debt used to finance a change of ownership under certain conditions h) debt the Lender believes no longer meets the needs of the Small Business Applicant. SOP 50(G), Page 109

57 Debt Refinancing: Credit Card
Criteria: Used for business purposes The borrower must certify that the amount being refinanced was used exclusively for business purposes and provide appropriate documentation, such as a copy of the note and/or current loan statement, to demonstrate that the debt was, in fact, used for business purposes. SOP (G), Page 110

58 Debt Refinancing: Another Lender
Lender may refinance an existing non-SBA guaranteed loan or borrower debt from another lender if: The existing loan no longer meets the needs of the applicant Requires “substantial benefit” to applicant Looks to 10% improvement in monthly payments (P & I) SBA requires copies of all notes that will be refinanced Demand, interest only, balloon notes will automatically meet substantial benefit test

59 Debt Refinancing: Lender’s Own Debt
Must adhere to previous provisions In addition, must submit to SBA a transcript of account showing that the debt has never been more than 29 days past due, within the last 36 month period. New loan must not reduce the lender’s existing credit exposure to the borrower (only applies to Express)

60 CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP / BUSINESS VALUATION
If amount being financed (including 7(a), 504, seller) or any other financing (minus the appraised value of real estate and/or equipment being financed) is $250,000, or less, Lender can perform valuation. If amount is more than $250,000, or if there is a close family relationship between buyer and seller, valuation has to be done by a “qualified source”

61 CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/ BUSINESS VALUATION
A “qualified source” is an individual who regularly receives compensation for business valuations and is accredited by one of the following recognized organizations: Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) accredited through the American Society of Appraisers; Certified Business Appraiser (CBA) accredited through the Institute of Business Appraisers; Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) accredited through the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) accredited through the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts; and Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA) accredited through the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts. SOP (G), Page 167

62 Business Purchase Forms Needed
Copy of Buy-Sell Agreement Seller Financial Statements for previous 3 Years Pro forma Balance Sheets Interim Statements ( no less than 180 days old)

63 Collateral One of the primary reasons lenders use SBA is for those Small Business Applicants that demonstrate repayment ability But lack adequate collateral to fully repay the loan if the loan defaults SBA does not permit its guaranty to be used as a substitute for available collateral.

64 Collateral Collateral is NOT required for loans of $25,000 or less
Collateral is required on loans of more than $25,000 up to $350,000 with the lender following their own collateral policies & procedures for non-SBA guaranteed loans BUT at a minimum the lender must obtain a lien on the applicant’s fixed assets to secure the loan For loans in excess of $350,000 the loan must be collateralized to the maximum extent possible UP TO THE LOAN AMOUNT Trading Assets MAY be skipped with the lender going directly to personal real estate if trading assets are needed as collateral on a LOC An SBA Guaranty CANNOT be used as a substitute for available collateral Express collateral has not changed. Banks must follow same policies as non SBA portfolio. Pages 164 Do NOT use an SBA guaranty in place of available collateral – we expect our loans to be collateralized up to the loan amount based upon liquidation value if possible if the loan amount is greater than $350, If you would require all available collateral to be taken on an non-guaranteed loan of $25,000 to $350,000 you have to do it on an SBA guaranteed loan of that amount Trading assets – page 168; Fully secured page 169 assets owned by the spouse on page 169 – When an individual alone or an individual and his or her spouse together own 20% or more of the Small Business Applicant, the lender must consider taking as collateral available equity in personal real estate that is owned individually, by the applicant owner as well as available equity in personal real estate owned jointly. Real estate transferred by the applicant to the non-owning spouse within 6 months of the date of the application will not be exempt from consideration as available collateral. Self imposed restrictions (pre-nups) are not recognized by the government...

65 For loans above $350,000 All Requests for 7(a) Guarantee of loans greater than $350,000 processed through Standard, CLP, or PLP procedures, Lender’s analysis must demonstrate the Small Business Applicant’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the business. The Analysis should conclude that repayment ability of the proposed SBA loan and all other debt reasonably exists from the operating cash flow of the business defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA);

66 Debt Service Coverage The small business applicant’s debt service coverage ratio (OCF/DS) must be 1.15 to 1 or greater on a historical and/or projected basis.

67 Submission of Application for Guaranty
