The Frank Law Firm represents lenders that provide loans to small business owners who either cannot get financing through the conventional route or wish to obtain a competitive loan through the Small Business Administration (SBA). We offer legal services to SBA lenders – from obtaining approvals and handling insurance matters to getting third-party consent and clearing any bottlenecks during underwriting and closing, we can help you navigate each step of the process.
Many forms of documentation are required when you provide loans to new and existing borrowers through the SBA. We can help you understand the regulatory framework for SBA lending and provide assistance in making sure you meet all of the conditions.
Our work area spans all services under start-up loans, business acquisition requirements, asset purchases, landlord issues, working-capital requirements, due diligence in construction businesses, franchiser approvals, and more.
You have to abide by the strict regulations governing SBA lending, and we help you follow all of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Getting a thorough idea of the SOPs from our experienced SBA lending attorneys will help you better manage your operations and provide loans with proper contracts or agreements in place.
At The Frank Law Firm, we understand what it means for small businesses to get loans from financial institutions without delays and are proud to help lenders provide them. We also provide legal help in cases when you have an SBA borrower that does not pay on time. Despite the strict regulations on SBA loans, defaulters exist. The Frank Law Firm team can help you save time against tedious collections with the help of our network of contacts and ensure a smooth process. You will be able to solve matters timely and cost-effectively with our dedicated legal team by your side.
Some of the key banking and finance law services a finance lawyer from The Frank Law Firm can offer to SBA lenders and other banking clients include:
Our SBA lending team has the knowledge, experience, and resources to represent lenders who need help navigating the stringent conditions imposed by the SBA and other government agencies for approving, underwriting, and closing SBA loans. We can provide legal representation right from the planning stage when you are considering the appropriate small business lending avenues as well as the types of programs available to support small businesses.
We will help you identify the applicable program and connect you with governmental regulatory agencies and nonprofits that can guide both lenders and borrowers through the steps involved in the loan application and approval.
Two of the major SBA facilities include (a) SBA 7(a) guarantee program; and (b) SBA 504 loan program. The features and requirements of each of these programs are unique, which makes it vital to have proper knowledge of the SBA SOPs for closing transactions. Our SBA lending attorneys are highly proficient in this area and have represented banks and other financial institutions through these transactions many times to great success.
Once the SBA loan authorization has been issued, our legal team will start the closing process. In the case of SBA 7(a) loans, a detailed checklist will help provide a plan for loan document preparation, due diligence, third-party consents, insurance, and finally the loan closing.
In the case of SBA 504 loans, we will closely engage with the area Certified Development Corporations (CDCs) to ensure a smooth closing process. Our vast knowledge and deep understanding of the SBA 504 loan program enable us to anticipate potential hiccups ahead of time and resolve them quickly in order to ensure a seamless SBA transaction for the parties involved.
