    Q&A with John Moshier - President of SBA Lending

     

    1. How has the Economic Aid Act enhanced the 7(a) program?

     

    The Economic Aid Act passed by Congress in December 2020 included economic aid for small businesses which were hit particularly hard by the pandemic. For 7(a) borrowers and lenders, the most significant change was a temporary enhancement to the terms of the program. Congress not only increased the loan guarantee to 90%(instead of 75%)but also cut the guarantee fees required of borrowers in the program. Also, the Act extends the small business debt relief program, so some borrowers have become eligible for deferred payments of principal and interest.

     

    2. Why does the fee waiver matter to borrowers?

     

    The fee waiver can save a significant amount of money for a borrower. Normally, under the 7(a) program, a borrower has to pay a guarantee fee of as much as 3.5%. Over the life of a loan, that can become a significant added expense. For example, imagine a borrower with a $1 million loan. Under the normal 7(a) rules, that borrower would have to pay a fee that would accrue to about $50,000 when compounded. But for the moment, that fee is waived until the appropriation runs out. We think the fee waiver creates a big opportunity for borrowers, but it is tied to the temporary enhancement which is likely to wind down soon.

     

    3. What about the deferred payments?

     

    Some borrowers may qualify for up to three months of deferred payments under the temporary enhancement. The attractiveness of this opportunity speaks for itself as any borrower will benefit by omitting the first few months of payments. In many cases, the deferral can even qualify for forgiveness, so the borrower is effectively reducing their total loan balance.

     

    4. Does this broaden the client base for 7(a) loans?

     

    For lenders, this temporary change enhances the lending appetite because the higher guarantee—90% instead of 75%—helps reduce their risk. While the 7(a) program obligates SBA lenders to comply with the SOP guidance for an eligible borrower, lenders typically make choices about which industries and regions fit their credit profile. There might be a borrower whose credit profile under normal circumstances would fail to match with the lender’s ideal profile, but in this temporary situation, the same lender may alter their ideal profile in an effort to help fund more businesses. As a result, some higher-risk borrowers may now have a better opportunity to qualify for a 7(a) loan than they will if they wait until after the temporary enhancement period ends.

     

    5. When will the temporary enhancement end?

     

    This temporary enhancement was rolled out when Congress authorized the appropriation associated with the Economic Aid Act. SBA lenders cannot forecast whether Congress will authorize a new appropriation, but it is prudent to assume that this enhancement is unlikely to be renewed. The end of the period is determined not by the calendar but by the budget—when the appropriation runs out, the temporary enhancement ends. An educated guess would point to June or July of 2021 as a likely end date for the enhancement. For that reason, borrowers should consider applying for a 7(a) loan now.
