Borrower Application Form
Purpose of this form:
This form is to be completed by the authorized representative of the Applicant and submitted to your SBA Participating Lender. Submission of
the requested information is required to make a determination regarding eligibility for financial assistance. Failure to submit the information
would affect that determination.
Instructions for completing this form:
With respect to “purpose of the loan,” payroll costs consist of compensation to employees (whose principal place of residence is the United
States) in the form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips
or, in the absence of such records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips); payment for vacation, parental, family, medical, or
sick leave; allowance for separation or dismissal; payment for the provision of employee benefits consisting of group health care coverage,
including insurance premiums, and retirement; payment of state and local taxes assessed on compensation of employees; and for an
independent contractor or sole proprietor, wage, commissions, income, or net earnings from self-employment or similar compensation.
For purposes of calculating “Average Monthly Payroll,” most Applicants will use the average monthly payroll for 2019, excluding costs over
$100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. For seasonal businesses, the Applicant may elect to instead use average monthly payroll
for the time period between February 15, 2019 and June 30, 2019, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.
For new businesses, average monthly payroll may be calculated using the time period from January 1, 2020 to February 29, 2020, excluding
costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.
If Applicant is refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL): Add the outstanding amount of an EIDL made between January 31, 2020
and April 3, 2020, less the amount of any “advance” under an EIDL COVID-19 loan, to Loan Request as indicated on the form.
All parties listed below are considered owners of the Applicant as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as well as “principals”:
For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;
For a partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;

Paperwork Reduction Act – You are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The estimated time for completing this application, including gathering data needed, is 8 minutes. Comments about this time
or the information requested should be sent to : Small Business Administration, Director, Records Management Division, 409 3rd St., SW,
Washington DC 20416., and/or SBA Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington DC
20503.
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) – Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to
provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice
regarding taxpayer identification number below.) Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required to provide SBA with
sufficient information to make a character determination. When evaluating character, SBA considers the person’s integrity, candor, and
disposition toward criminal actions. Additionally, SBA is specifically authorized to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to
section 7(a)(1)(B), 15 USC Section 636(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act (the Act).
Disclosure of Information – Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the
individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of
information maintained in SBA’s system of records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil,
criminal, or administrative in nature. Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or
foreign, charged with responsibility for, or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations.
Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to
the requesting agencies' function. See, 74 F.R. 14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time for additional background and other routine
uses. In addition, the CARES Act, requires SBA to register every loan made under the Paycheck Protection Act using the Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN) assigned to the borrower.
Debt Collection Act of 1982, Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. and other titles) – SBA must obtain your taxpayer
identification number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may: (1) report the
status of your loan(s) to credit bureaus, (2) hire a collection agency to collect your loan, (3) offset your income tax refund or other amounts
due to you from the Federal Government, (4) suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government, (5)
refer your loan to the Department of Justice, or (6) foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments.
Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) – The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to
financial records held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial

institutions participating in a loan or loan guaranty. SBA is only required provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial
institution in connection with its first request for access to your financial records. SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved
loan guaranty agreement. SBA is also authorized to transfer to another Government authority any financial records concerning an approved
loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or foreclose on a loan guaranty or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty.
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and
records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics
on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and
their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms
and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be
addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require
businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations,
or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with
the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business
practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of
SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all
or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right
under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify
that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or
voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final
determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the
regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this
