Book a Consultation CallFinancial difficulties can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to dealing with SBA loan debts. However, there is a potential solution that can provide relief for small business owners and guarantors – the SBA Offer in Compromise (OIC). In this blog, our team at Protect Law Group will guide you through the intricacies of the SBA OIC process, outlining the steps you need to take to navigate this challenging situation successfully.
Before you proceed with the SBA OIC, it is crucial to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria. An SBA OIC is usually an option when a small business has ceased operations, and all its assets have been liquidated. Additionally, the borrower or guarantor must demonstrate their inability to pay the full debt amount within a reasonable time frame. It is recommended to consult with an experienced SBA loan attorney to assess your eligibility and understand the potential outcomes.
To initiate the SBA OIC process, you will need to gather the necessary documentation. This includes financial statements, tax returns, bank statements, and any other relevant financial records. These documents support your case by providing a comprehensive overview of your financial situation. An experienced SBA loan attorney can help you organize and present this information effectively.
Cooperation and effective communication play a vital role in maximizing the chances of a successful settlement through the SBA OIC. It is essential to work closely with your SBA loan attorney and the SBA debt attorneys to ensure your unique circumstances are understood and presented accurately. By clearly presenting your financial limitations and actively participating in the process, you can increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
When pursuing an SBA OIC, several potential outcomes can arise. One possibility is having your offer accepted, resulting in a reduced repayment amount that is manageable for your financial situation. Another outcome may involve negotiating a repayment plan that suits your circumstances, such as a monthly installment payment plan not exceeding five years. It is crucial to discuss these potential outcomes with your SBA loan attorney to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Dealing with SBA loan debts can be challenging, but the SBA Offer in Compromise provides a ray of hope for struggling borrowers and guarantors. By understanding the eligibility criteria, gathering the necessary documentation, and maintaining open lines of communication, you can navigate the SBA OIC process effectively. Remember, the assistance of an experienced SBA loan attorney, such as our team at Protect Law Group, is invaluable during this journey of finding business debt relief and securing SBA loan help. If you are facing financial difficulties, don't hesitate to reach out to our team of SBA debt attorneys for guidance and support.

The client personally guaranteed an SBA 504 loan balance of $375,000. Debt had been cross-referred to the Treasury at the time we got involved with the case. We successfully had debt recalled to the SBA where we then presented an SBA OIC that was accepted for $58,000.
The client was personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan to help with a relative’s new business venture. After the business failed, Treasury was able to secure a recurring Treasury Offset Program (TOP) levy against our client’s monthly Social Security Benefits based on the claim that he owed over $1.2 million dollars. We initially submitted a Cross-Servicing Dispute, but then, prepared and filed an Appeals Petition with the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (SBA OHA). As a result of our efforts, we were able to convince the SBA to not only terminate the claimed debt of $1.2 million dollars against our client (without him having to file bankruptcy) but also refund the past recurring amounts that were offset from his Social Security Benefits in connection with the TOP levy.
Clients personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $300,000. Clients also pledged their homes as additional collateral. SBA OIC accepted $87,000 with the full lien release against the home.
