SBA Loan Application Process
We are working diligently to provide updates on the CARES Act as information becomes available. In particular, we have been fielding many questions about the application process and required documentation. While there may be additional requirements as part of the qualification process for a 7(a) loan, we believe that the following items found on the SBA issued checklist are likely to be mandatory:
• SBA Loan Application (SBA Form 1919) – Please note it may be the case that a separate application will be required relating to the amended program
Personal Background and Financial Statement -To assess your eligibility, the SBA also requires you to complete the following forms:
o Statement of Personal History (SBA Form 912)
