Discussion Topics for Today…

• SBA Financing Programs– Standard7A– Express– 504

• USDA Highlights

23

Page 24: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

“How much cash can I have before I have to chip in?”

43

Page 44: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Underwriting Considerations

• What are some basic underwriting considerations?

44

Page 45: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

Page 46: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

Page 47: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

47

Page 48: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Guarantees

• All owners of 20% or more are required to pledge a full, unlimited personal guaranty

• If a spouse owns 5% and the combined ownership of spouses totals 20%, both must fully guaranty

• Full or limited guaranties of other parties may be required if necessary for credit reasons

48

Page 49: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

Page 50: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

Page 51: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Use of Proceeds

• What can be financed under SBA 7a?

– Eligible Uses• Real Estate considerations• Refinancing• Change of ownership

51

Page 52: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Eligible Uses of Proceeds

• New starts• Business acquisitions• Expansions• Working capital• Land, buildings, equipment• Debt refinancing

52

Page 53: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Ineligible Uses of Proceeds

• Pay delinquent taxes or other funds held in trust (payment of delinquent income taxes may be permitted if the applicant has an approved payment arrangement with the IRS)

• Pay or refinance debt used for distributions to associates of the applicant

53

Page 54: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Real Estate Occupancy Requirements

• Purchase of existing building: applicant must occupy 51% of rentable property

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

Page 55: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Refinancing Existing Debt

Two Tests:

• Credit must not be available elsewhere on reasonable terms

• Refinancing must provide small business a substantial benefit

55

Page 56: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

• Restructuring of revolving lines of credit – other lender not willing to renew line or better interest rate and/or term

• 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

Page 57: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

• 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

Page 58: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

Page 59: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

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

59

Page 60: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

Change of Ownership

• Applicant must purchase 100% of business, OR existing owner(s) must purchase the stock of a selling owner resulting in 100% ownership by purchaser(s)

• Promote development of or preserve the business - must be in the best interest of the business (not buyer or seller)

60

Page 61: Joint Presentation On Hud & Sba 2011

SBA Express Program

• Currently limited to $1,000M• 50% SBA guarantee• Can include revolving credit facilities• More flexible underwriting than 7a – based

on PLP bank credit standards
