How to Get SBA to Honor Its Guaranty
SBA only honors its loan guaranty if the lender can document that it “made, closed, serviced and liquidated the loan in accordance with SBA Loan Program Requirements and prudent lending practices”. This course provides guidance on the mechanics of the purchase process. Since protecting the guaranty starts during loan origination and continues through the purchase process, this course also shares tips for avoiding common deficiencies that result in repairs or denials of liability, making this a “must-take” course for every 7(a) lender.
This two-day course provides an in-depth look at the unique requirements and risks associated with construction lending, covering everything from project contracts and documentation to risk management strategies, lien issues, and servicing actions.

By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of the framework of UCA cash flow analysis.
