Substitution of Collateral Requirement Letter
Summary
Requirements letter from the U.S. Small Business Administration's COVID EIDL Servicing Center (CESC) listing what borrowers and guarantors must provide for SBA to consider a full or partial Substitution of Collateral request on a COVID EIDL loan. It states that the letter is not a commitment by the SBA and that approval may be conditioned on curing defaults, correcting collateral deficiencies or payment of material monetary consideration. It says SBA generally considers a substitution only where its equity position stays the same or improves and the net sale proceeds of current collateral go to buying the substitute collateral or to a principal reduction on the EIDL. The letter then lists the documentation required.
