SBA COLLECTION

Comprehensive SBA loan default recovery for banks, credit unions, government agencies, and lenders across the United States.

NATIONWIDE SBA LOAN DEFAULT RECOVERY BUILT ON PROCESS EXCELLENCE

An SBA loan default creates more than a compliance problem. For banks, credit unions, and lenders holding SBA 7(a) or EIDL loan portfolios, a borrower default disrupts cash flow, triggers federal reporting obligations, and introduces significant recovery risk without legal oversight. Burke Moore Law Group delivers SBA debt collection and loan default resolution services through a single, attorney-driven platform.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Burke Moore Law Group is a boutique law firm serving as a trusted SBA loan default attorney for financial institutions and lenders nationwide. With more than 30 licensed attorneys under a single, proven SBA collection process covering pre-legal recovery through full litigation, Burke Moore Law Group eliminates the handoffs and accountability gaps that creditors encounter when splitting SBA work across separate agencies and outside law firms.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens when a borrower defaults on an SBA loan?

When a small business owner misses a monthly payment and the loan enters default status, the lender is required to begin SBA-compliant liquidation procedures. This includes formal demand, collateral evaluation, and enforcement of the personal guarantee against the borrower’s personal assets. If recovery efforts fall short, the lender may submit a guaranty purchase claim to the federal government and refer the remaining SBA loan debt to the Treasury Department.

Does a personal guarantee create personal liability for the business owner?

Yes. Most SBA 7(a) and EIDL loans require the small business owner to sign a personal guarantee, which creates personal liability for the outstanding loan balance. This means the lender may pursue the borrower’s personal assets, real estate, and personal property to satisfy the debt. Burke Moore Law Group provides legal services to lenders enforcing these guarantees and advises on all available recovery remedies.

Can SBA loan debt be discharged through bankruptcy relief?

Not always. Dischargeability depends on the type of bankruptcy filed, the structure of the loan guarantee, and the borrower’s individual financial situation. Borrowers seeking bankruptcy relief should understand that SBA debt obligations often survive discharge. A bankruptcy attorney familiar with SBA debt can evaluate the specific circumstances. Burke Moore Law Group represents creditor interests in bankruptcy court throughout every stage of a bankruptcy case.

What debt relief options are available for borrowers in financial hardship?

When a small business owner is experiencing financial hardship or financial difficulty, several options may be available before full default, including loan modification, a hardship accommodation plan, or SBA loan forgiveness through an Offer in Compromise. Burke Moore Law Group advises lenders on structuring and documenting these arrangements to protect the lender’s interests and preserve the SBA loan guarantee.

Do you handle SBA loan default cases outside of Georgia?

Yes. Burke Moore Law Group provides SBA debt collection services nationwide across the United States. Our attorneys are licensed in states where clients have significant volumes, and we use reciprocity rules, pro hac vice filings, or designated local counsel in other jurisdictions.
