2. Maximum Guaranty Amounts and Percentages The maximum dollar amount outstanding of SBA’s guaranty to any one business (including affiliates) must not exceed $3,750,000. SBA considers an EPC and an OC to be “one business” for this purpose. When calculating the maximum guaranty percentage available to a Borrower and its affiliates, the Lender must include the approved loan amount for a revolving line of credit. The SBA’s guaranty is also known as the “SBA share” or “guaranteed portion.” The guaranteed amount of all 7(a) Small and SBA Express loans counts toward the $3,750,000 maximum SBA exposure that may be outstanding for all SBA loans to a Borrower and its affiliates at any one time. The maximum guaranty percentage is: i. For 7(a) Small loans: a) 85% for loans of $150,000 or less b) 75% for loans over $150,000 ii. For SBA Express loans: 50%. Combination of 7(a) and 504 loans. i. When an Applicant applies for any combination of 7(a) and 504 loans, the order in which the loans are approved determines the maximum loan and guaranty amount available. Because the 7(a) loan has a lower maximum guaranteed amount, the 7(a) loan should be processed and approved first. ii. Lenders must advise the SBA processing centers that there is a companion 504 application to ensure that the 7(a) loan is processed and approved prior to the 504 loan application being processed and approved. Zero Percent Guaranty Cannot be Provided for Ineligible Purposes: A 7(a) loan cannot include proceeds for an ineligible purpose or have any portion of the loan made to an ineligible business and no part of a 7(a) loan may be guaranteed at zero percent.
