institutions, SBA lending represents a new product. Indeed, only about 1,700 lenders participated in the SBA\u2019s 7(a) program in fiscal 2019.<\/li><li>For institutions considering planning to continue SBA lending after PPP, it may also provide an opportunity to obtain new customers.<\/li><li>SBA loan programs may provide a way to restructure existing loans for some current clients while ensuring greater portfolio stability for the bank or credit union. The portion of any loan that the SBA guarantees does not count against the financial institution\u2019s lending limit. In addition, banks and credit unions can <a href=\"https:\/\/colsonservices.bnymellon.com\/_locale-assets\/pdf\/guide-to-sba-7(a)-secondary-market-loan-sales.pdf\">sell the guaranteed portion of SBA loans<\/a> they make on the secondary market yet retain servicing rights and some fees.<\/li><\/ol><p>\u201cSBA lending provides liquidity, while you retain the relationship and you get paid for servicing,\u201d noted Michael Wear, owner of 39 Acres Corp., which specializes in banker training and bank consulting services in credit risk underwriting and loan portfolio risk. \u201cA side benefit is when you help a business owner who\u2019s not having the best day financially, they\u2019re not only appreciative, they become great word-of-mouth advertising and references for prospects,\u201d he said during a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abrigo.com\/webinars\/recession-credit-risk-management-best-practices\/\">Abrigo webinar on SBA 7(a) lending<\/a>.<\/p><p>During the last recession, the SBA increased its maximum loan guarantee to 90% of the loan amount (from the current cap of 85% on loans of less than $150,000), and while it hasn\u2019t yet done so for this recession, it has increased loan sizes and streamlined processes, Wear noted.<\/p><p>Among webinar participants surveyed during the session:<\/p><ul><li>31% said they anticipate their institution will do more SBA refinancing of existing debt going forward<\/li><li>18% said their institution doesn\u2019t currently do SBA lending besides PPP but plans to<\/li><li>18% said their institution plans on using government guarantees to obtain new customers<\/li><li>34% said they anticipate no change at their institution in SBA lending volume or use.<\/li><\/ul> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33e2387 elementor-widget elementor-widget-abo-titles-headlines\" data-id=\"33e2387\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"abo-titles-headlines.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n <div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"anchor-offset\" id=\"refinancedebt\"><\/div> <h3 class=\"subhead\">\n Act soon to refinance debt with SBA after PPP <\/h3>\n <\/div>\n\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b66aa1c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b66aa1c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2afa34a\" data-id=\"2afa34a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec248ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-abo-text-content\" data-id=\"ec248ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"abo-text-content.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n \n \n <div class=\"container container--narrow\"> \n <div class=\"type\">\n <style>\n .elementor-element-ec248ae .type li:before {\n color: #f9d032;\n } \n <\/style>\n <p>Some commercial lenders might question why they should be talking about SBA lending now when they haven\u2019t even processed PPP loan forgiveness applications for all of their customers or members yet. Or, they might wonder whether it\u2019s too late to start 7(a) lending if they\u2019ve never done it before the PPP. \u201cIt\u2019s not too late to start, but it\u2019s later than you think,\u201d Wear said.<\/p><p>Lenders doing standard 7(a) SBA lending, considered the \u201cmothership\u201d of SBA loans, Wear said, will likely need a learning curve, and even lenders that have worked on 7(a) loans in the past may find that a lot has changed in recent years. SBA 7(a) loans have a maximum loan amount of $5 million, but multiple loans are allowed.<\/p><p>In addition, an institution cannot pass a known loss on to the government, so banks or credit unions considering refinancing existing debts on the books now will need to act quickly before financials demonstrate severe losses.<\/p><p>For existing loans to be eligible for SBA refinancing, they must be on what the SBA considers \u201cunreasonable terms,\u201d which can include the following:<\/p><ul><li>Having an interest rate over maximums for SBA program used<\/li><li>Having a balloon payment, being a short-term note<\/li><li>Having an aggressive pay down schedule or being over-collateralized<\/li><li>Using debt to finance a change of ownership (where the new owner will own 100%).<\/li><\/ul><p>In order to be eligible for SBA refinancing, the application must also meet a requirement that it will result in a 10% improvement (for term loans) in cash flow for debt service, which Wear said is generally fairly easy to meet, given the SBA\u2019s longer terms.<\/p><p>SBA 7(a) guaranty amounts and fees are graduated based on the loan term and dollar amount, and the SBA does take a \u201chaircut\u201d on the lender rate for servicing, Wear said. Nevertheless, in his experience as an SBA lender, he never had an issue with internal pricing models or return on investment goals related to SBA lending.<\/p><p>However, as noted earlier, Wear said lenders might have a learning curve. SBA is very oriented to its Standard Operating Procedures, and it can be a very paperwork-heavy process.
