What Is SBA Lien Release and Why Does it Matter?

SBA lien release is the process by which the SBA removes their claim on a borrower's assets, such as a home or business property, that were pledged as collateral for the SBA-guaranteed loan. This step is crucial for borrowers looking to regain control over their assets, as it ensures that the SBA no longer has a legal claim on the property.

Factors Influencing SBA's Decision to Release a Lien

The SBA considers several factors when deciding whether to release a lien. These include the value of the property, senior liens, and the potential recovery in a forced sale. Borrowers must understand these considerations to present a compelling case for lien release.

Approaching and Negotiating Lien Release

When seeking a lien release, borrowers should approach the SBA with a well-prepared case that highlights the equity in their assets and the potential for a fair settlement. It is essential to gather documentation and evidence that supports your position and demonstrate your willingness to resolve the debt.
