If a loan application is accepted, we enter the terms and conditions of the proposed SBA 7(a) loan into SBA’s ETRAN portal for review and approval. SBA will take on the responsibility for verification of the applicant eligibility requirements using SBA’s Risk Mitigation Framework, which uses processes in place across the financial services industry. SBA’s Risk Mitigation Framework will conduct compliance checks and should an error code be returned, we must clear the code in order to proceed. Once the code is cleared and SBA has issued an SBA loan number, we may continue processing the loan.

The closing of a loan is handled by SBL’s closing and legal department, consisting of loan closer, in-house attorneys and paralegals, whose primary responsibility is to close the loan in accordance with prudent lending standards and in compliance with SBA requirements thereby seeking to preserve SBA’s guaranty of repayment. Before loan proceeds are disbursed, the closing staff will review all required documentation (including but not limited to entity documentation, proof of insurance and licensing, environmental reports and appraisals), and will verify the applicant’s required capital injection, ensure that loan proceeds are being used as authorized and obtain required lien positions.
