SBA Form 1920 (Revised 09/20)
P a g e | 9
On behalf of my Lending Institution,
I certify that my institution has complied and is familiar with SBA Loan Program Requirements, that we have accurately and cor-rectly completed
the Lender's Application for Guaranty for All 7(a) Programs on behalf of the Lender, that the above information is true and correct, to the best of
our knowledge, and that we have exercised due diligence to obtain the true and correct information.
I approve this application to SBA subject to the terms and conditions stated in this and the attached documents. Without the participation of SBA,
to the extent applied for, we would not be willing to make this loan, and, in our opinion, the financial assistance approved is not otherwise
available on reasonable commercial terms.
I certify that the Small Business Applicant is an eligible business and Lender's credit file contains the documentation that supports the Lender's
determination of eligibility in accordance with SOP 50 10.
For applications submitted under delegated authority, I am aware and acknowledge that SBA will not review eligibility prior to issuing an SBA
loan number and that if an SBA loan number is assigned and SBA later learns that the loan is not eligible, SBA may deny liability on its guarantee.
For all applications submitted under non-delegated processing:
Lender's credit memorandum contains confirmation of Lender's collection of business tax returns and verification and
reconciliation of the applicant's financial data against income tax data (received in response to IRS Form 4506-T, Request for
Transcript of Tax Return) prior to submitting the application to SBA.
For loans with a Change of Ownership (including existing owners)
All Seller financial information has been signed and dated by the Seller and has been verified against IRS tax
transcripts as set out in SOP 50 10. Where there is an acquisition of a division or a segment of an existing business, other forms
of verification may be used in lieu of the 4506-T (e.g., Sales tax payment records);
I approve and certify that the Applicant is a small business according to the standards in 13 CFR Part 121, the loan proceeds will be used for an
eligible purpose, and the owners and managers of the applicant business are of good character.
I certify that:
None of the Lender's Associates*, including but not limited to its employees, officers, directors, or substantial stockholders (more than 10%)
has a financial interest in the Applicant.
No Lender or Associate of Lender has a real or apparent conflict of interest with Applicant, any of Applicant's Associates, or any of the close
relatives of Applicant's Associates.
No Lender or Associate or close relative of an Associate of the Lender has a significant direct or indirect financial or other interest in the
Applicant or has had such an interest within 6 months prior to the date of the application.
No Associate of a Lender is incarcerated, on parole, or on probation or is a convicted felon or has an adverse final civil
judgment (in a case involving fraud, breach of trust, or other conduct) that would cause the public to question the Lender's business integrity.
No Lender or any Associate of Lender has accepted funding from a source that restricts, prioritizes, or conditions the types of small
businesses that Lender may assist under an SBA program or that imposes any conditions or requirements upon
recipients of SBA assistance inconsistent with SBA's loan programs or regulations.
Neither the Applicant, an Associate of Applicant, close relative nor household member** of an Associate of Applicant is required to invest in
Lender.
None of the loan proceeds will be used to acquire space in a project for which Lender has issued a real estate forward
commitment.
* Associate of a Lender is an officer, director, key employee, or holder of 20% or more of the value of the Lender's stock or debt
instruments.
** "Household member" means spouse and minor children of an employee, all blood relations of the employee and any spouse
