“Do What You Do”: Adapting to the 2023 SBA SOP Changes
The new SBA SOP 50 10 7 raised several questions surrounding the concept of applying to SBA loans the policies lenders would follow for “similarly-sized, non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans”. While the concept may not be new, the emphasis on lender-driven policies is an adjustment for many in the SBA space. This article explains and applies the “do what you do” concept to help lenders efficiently adapt to the SBA’s new standards required by the SOP 50 10 7.
10 Lesser-Known SOP Changes
There has been ample discussion in the SBA space about the widespread changes implemented by the new SOP 50 10 7, effective August 1, 2023. However, the new SOP 50 10 7 also includes a ton of lesser-known changes from the previous version that most lenders are not aware of. This article lists 10 changes lenders should know about the latest SOP in addition to the more widely discussed changes.
Key Takeaways from the 2023 SBA Procedural Notices for Lenders
In early May the SBA released two procedural notices (SBA Procedural Notices 5000-846607 and 5000-846991) in anticipation of the latest SBA SOP 50 10 7. Windsor Advantage believes the rule changes will allow for a tremendous expansion of the SBA 7a program, however, there will be more responsibility put on the lender.
