Timothy D. DixonHead of Small Business Administration(W) [email protected]
22
Discussion Topics for Today…
• SBA Financing Programs– Standard7A– Express– 504
• USDA Highlights
23
SBA Financing Can Be an Excellent Tool to Navigate Today’s “Credit Jungle”
• Mitigate credit risk for the lender and “get the deal done”– Collateral shortfall– Industry risk– Start – Up situation (less than 2 years)– Erratic historical earnings
• While offering enhanced financing to the borrower– Less equity/lower down payments– Longer loan amortization– Longer note maturity/no balloons
24
SBA 7a – Program Features

39
Factors that Demonstrate “Need”

applicant’s industry• Other factors related to credit that require guarantee

43
Underwriting Considerations
• What are some basic underwriting considerations?
44
Credit Underwriting
• Lender must analyze each application in a commercially reasonable and prudent manner
• Cash flow is primary source of repayment (not liquidation of collateral)– Application must be declined if cash flow is inadequate
to provide reasonable assurance of timely repayment, regardless of collateral
45
Equity Requirements
“Skin in the game”
• Borrower equity is required • Rule of thumb: 10%-20% of total project cost is
recommended• Lenders required to verify injections prior to
disbursing loan proceeds
46
Collateral Requirements
• Loan must be fully secured at liquidation value to the extent that collateral is available, BUT
• The SBA will not decline a loan solely on the basis of insufficient collateral
• If business collateral at liquidation value is inadequate to secure loan, lender must take all available personal assets of principals
• Inventory and A/R are excluded from collateral valuation

Guarantees

• Full or limited guaranties of other parties may be required if necessary for credit reasons
48
Collateral Supporting Personal Guarantee
• Personal residence may be taken as secondary collateral when:– Required by bank OR– Other collateral is weak and equity in residence
exceeds 25% of market value– In some States, liens on secondary collateral may
be limited to 150% of the equity in the collateral, rather than loan amount, where there are tax implications
49
Collateral Supporting Personal Guarantee
• Assignment of Life Insurance Policy– Required if lender determines viability of business is tied to
an individual AND– Required to cover collateral shortfalls
50
Use of Proceeds
• What can be financed under SBA 7a?
– Eligible Uses• Real Estate considerations• Refinancing• Change of ownership
51
Eligible Uses of Proceeds
• New starts• Business acquisitions• Expansions• Working capital• Land, buildings, equipment• Debt refinancing

53
Real Estate Occupancy Requirements
• Purchase of existing building: applicant must occupy 51% of rentable property
• New construction: – 60% must be occupied by applicant immediately.
80% must be occupied within 10 years– 20% may be leased out “permanently”
• Loan to EPC: EPC must lease 100% to OC, and OC must comply with occupancy rules
54
Refinancing Existing Debt
Two Tests:
• Credit must not be available elsewhere on reasonable terms
• Refinancing must provide small business a substantial benefit
55

• Business credit cards (business use must be certified)
• Long term debt structured with a demand note or balloon payment
• Debt that no longer meets borrower’s need
Debt Considered Unreasonable
56
• New debt improves cash flow by 10%
– For multiple notes, each DOES NOT have to be improved by 10%, but none may have a higher debt service after the refinancing
• Old debt’s interest exceeds SBA maximums
• Old debt is over collateralized
Provide a Substantial Benefit
57
Refinancing Same Lender Debt
• Must provide transcript for the last 36 months:– Explanation for any past due (over 30 days)
• Standard processing only – cannot use PLP authority
58
Refinancing Previous SBA Debt
• Refinance SBA debt from another institution – Contact existing lender to verify that they are unwilling to
modify the terms/conditions of the existing loan to meet your structure
– Document this conversation in the loan file (date, time, person with whom you spoke, summary of conversation, etc.)
• Refinance same-institution SBA debt– Only allowed if a secondary market investor will not agree
to modified terms– Standard processing only

Change of Ownership
