AGREEMENT-SPECIFIC HELP

SBA and EIDL obligations: settlement and other options.
Start with clarity.

Find the exact program name on the loan documents before looking for help: 7(a), 504, COVID EIDL or another disaster loan. SBA’s payment guidance distinguishes loans by program and whether SBA has purchased or services them.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

SBA and EIDL obligations

There is no single servicing contact for every SBA-related obligation. Some borrowers work through their lender, so keep lender correspondence separate from notices issued by SBA.

What to gather first ↓

Before you request help

  • Record the program name, named borrower and the contact shown on the latest servicing notice.
  • Match lender and SBA correspondence to the same agreement without entering loan numbers into this site.
  • Prepare a summary of operating status, cash flow and the specific servicing question you need answered.

Bring the right records

You do not need to upload these to make an initial inquiry. Keep them for a conversation with the right creditor, professional or service.

  • Program-specific note and loan agreement
  • Latest lender or SBA servicing notices and payment history
  • Guarantees, collateral documents and existing business cash-flow records

What to keep in view

This is not a promise of principal reduction or enrollment in an unsecured debt-settlement program. Government authority, collateral, liens, court orders or the loan subtype may require a separate administrative or legal process.

A servicing route is not a promise of hardship relief, forgiveness, settlement or release of a guarantee.

Keep SBA obligations outside a generic credit-card settlement projection; program and servicing status need their own review.

Compare more than one route

There is no single servicing contact for every SBA-related obligation. Some borrowers work through their lender, so keep lender correspondence separate from notices issued by SBA.
