What type of debt is eligible for refinancing?

There are some restrictions on what kind of debt can be refinanced with an SBA 7a loan, such as:

• SBA-guaranteed loan proceeds may not be used to pay a creditor in a position to sustain a loss. For example, a loan that is in default or delinquent and on the path to default cannot be refinanced with an SBA guaranteed loan.
• The debt to be refinanced must have had an original purpose that would have been eligible for SBA funding. Most legitimate business purposes would qualify.
• The debt is currently on unreasonable terms, such as a maturity that has a balloon payment, a maturity that’s inappropriate for the loan’s original purpose or unreasonably high interest rates.

The SBA’s guidelines on debt refinance, including the points mentioned above, can become complicated to understand and we recommend you speak to a VelocitySBA representative to help you determine what is feasible and to explore how the refinance can benefit your business.

*Pro Tip: To speed the process of determining if your existing business debt is SBA refinance eligible, it is recommended that you be prepared to provide the following items related to your existing debt:

• Original Note/Loan Agreement
• Current loan statements
• Payment history for last 12-24 months
• Any additional documents that may show how the loan proceeds were used
