FAQ
The Stand-by Arrangement (SBA) provides short-term financial assistance to countries facing balance of payments problems. Historically, it has been the IMF lending instrument most used by advanced and emerging market countries.
SBA's mission is to "aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns." It also is charged with ensuring that small businesses earn a "fair proportion" of government contracts and sales of surplus property.
Pursuant to 13 CFR § 120.160(a), all SBA 7(a) loans must be guaranteed by at least one person or entity. Generally, guarantees are required of any individual or entity who owns 20% or more of a borrower entity.
Your personal guarantee may be unenforceable due to circumstances outside of your contract. This may include being misled by the creditor, if a key fact was omitted from the contract, co-guarantor issues, suspicions of fraud, or if the facility provided by the bank changed significantly since you signed the guarantee.
Individuals who own 20% or more of a small business applicant must provide an unlimited personal guaranty. SBA Lenders may use this form.
An otherwise valid and enforceable personal guaranty can be revoked later in several different ways. A guaranty, much like any other contract, can be revoked later if both the guarantor and the lender agree in writing. Some debts owed by personal guarantors can also be discharged in bankruptcy.
Most Small Business Administration (SBA) loans require a personal credit check, and some loans also require a business credit check.
Like collateral, a personal guarantee is a form of security for the lender. The SBA considers personal guarantees as separate from collateral requirements. As a result, most SBA loans will require a personal guarantee in addition to collateral.
SBA's current regulations provide that a joint venture can be awarded no more than three contracts over a two-year period. While SBA plans to keep the two-year lifespan for joint venture awards, it plans to get rid of the three contract maximum.
