SBA Rapid Decision reference guide, May 15, 2020

Summary

Page 11 of an SBA Rapid Decision reference guide, updated 05/15/2020, with reviewer scenarios and their actions. For a client with a large number of applications with other providers (based on the CBR reflecting several inquiries within a specific timeframe), the action is to contact the applicant to inquire about any additional borrowing, including when, how much, and purpose. If the applicant has not accepted any disaster related loans, the instruction is Approve Loan. If another disaster type loan would duplicate the purpose of the EIDL loan from another lender, the reviewer must determine whether it would duplicate the EIDL working capital loan. When fraud is found on related deal(s), the reviewer reviews each related deal to resolve each fraud alert and documents the findings and action taken in the Notes.
