The transcript of the video follows below for further review.
SBA loans are the lifeblood for many industries. Many small businesses fail and the most recent recession was no exception resulting in a large number of small business failures. If you defaulted on an SBA loan are you necessarily precluded from obtaining another SBA loan? You may be able to obtain an SBA loan but it will be an uphill climb.
Unless waived by SBA for good cause, the SBA cannot provide assistance to a borrower that has previously defaulted on a Federal loan or Federally assisted financing, resulting in a loss to the Federal government; or owned or controlled by a business or any of its associates which previously owned, operated, or controlled a business which defaulted on an SBA loan and caused the Federal government to sustain a loss.
When a SBA loan default occurs, the borrower and the personal guarantors are placed on the credit alert interactive voice response system (CAIVRS), which essentially amounts to a “do not lend” list.
All is not lost, you can receive a waiver from the do no lend status where you can show “good cause.” When there are compelling circumstances, the lender shall send a written request for a waiver to the SBA
office processing the loan.
The lender must explain:
(A) the circumstances surrounding the prior loss and the relationship of the applicant to the entity causing the loss; and
(B) the connection between the individuals associated with the prior loss and the individuals requesting the new assistance.
This rule applies to:
1. The small business applicant;
2. Any business in which a principal of the small business applicant was also a principal in the entity that caused the loss;
or
3. Any business controlled by the same person(s) who controlled the entity that caused the loss.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $150,000. Business failed and eventually shut down. SBA then pursued client for the balance. We intervened and was able to present an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
Small business sole proprietor obtained an SBA COVID-EIDL loan for $500,000. Client defaulted causing SBA to charge-off the loan, accelerate the balance and refer the debt to Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection. Treasury added $180,000 in collection fees totaling $680,000+. Client tried to negotiate with Treasury but was only offered a 3-year or 10-year repayment plan. Client hired the Firm to represent before the SBA, Treasury and a Private Collection Agency. After securing government records through discovery and reviewing them, we filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings & Appeals (OHA) court challenging the SBA's referral of the debt to Treasury citing a host of purported violations. The Firm was able to negotiate a reinstatement and recall of the loan back to the SBA, participation in the Hardship Accommodation Plan, termination of Treasury's enforced collection and removal of the statutory collection fees.
The client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. His business revenue decreased significantly causing default and an accelerated balance of $143,000. The client received the SBA's Official 60-day notice with the debt scheduled for referral to the Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection in less than 26 days. We were hired to represent him, respond to the SBA's Official 60-day notice, and prevent enforced collection by the Treasury and the Department of Justice. We successfully negotiated a structured workout with an extended maturity date that included a reduction of the 14% interest rate and removal of substantial collection fees (30% of the loan balance), effectively saving the client over $242,000.
