NAVIGATING THE “CREDIT JUNGLE” OPPORTUNITES for SBA FINANCING OHCA/OCAL/OCDD 2011 Annual Convention May 2011 Timothy D. Dixon Head of Small Business Administration (W) 216-514-5431 [email_address]
Discussion Topics for Today… SBA Financing Programs Standard7A Express 504 USDA Highlights
SBA Financing Can Be an Excellent Tool to Navigate Today’s “Credit Jungle” Mitigate credit risk for the lender and “get the deal done” Collateral shortfall Industry risk Start – Up situation (less than 2 years) Erratic historical earnings While offering enhanced financing to the borrower Less equity/lower down payments Longer loan amortization Longer note maturity/no balloons
SBA 7a – Program Features
SBA 7A Program Banks are generally the primary point of contact and partner with the SBA Preferred Lender Status provides a bank with delegated loan authority from the SBA Bank funds the loan and the SBA provides a guarantee
Maximum Loan Size Loan limit $5,000,000 Aggregate guaranteed amount may not exceed $3,750,000 (=75% of $5MM)
Maximum Guarantees Standard 7(a) $150,000 or less – 85% Over $150,000   – 75%
Loan Maturity/Amortization Based on useful life of assets Working capital: up to 10 years Machinery/Equipment or Leaseholds:  generally 10 years, maximum of 25; not to exceed life of asset Land/building:  up to 25 years, plus time to complete construction/renovation
Base Rate (Prime or LIBOR+300)Plus  ….  Maximum Interest Rates Allowed Loan Size Maturity <  7 years Maturity 7 years + $50,000 + 2.25 2.75 $25,000 - $50,000 3.25 3.75 Up to $25,000 4.25 4.75
SBA(One-Time)Guaranty Fee Guarantee fee paid by borrower – can be included in loan total Lender may also charge an additional reasonable packaging fee - but cannot charge points. Loan Amount Fee on Guaranteed Portion < $150,000 2.00% $150,000-$700,000 3.00% > $700,000 3.50% > $1,000,000 (for the portion > $1,000,000 only) 3.75% Term 12 months or less 0.25%
Prepayment Penalties Only applies to loans with 15 years or greater maturities Use declining balance method: 5% of prepaid amount in first year, 3% in second, 1% in third
Determining Eligibility – Do We Qualify? A for-profit operating (not passive) business, engaged in an eligible industry, located in the United States Small business under SBA size standards Able to demonstrate a need for SBA financing “ Credit Elsewhere” Test  “ Personal Resources” Test
Ineligible Businesses Include… Non-profits (for profit subsidiaries may be eligible) Prior loss to the government Passive owners of property Principal(s) on probation or parole (all principals ever arrested, charged or convicted must be cleared through the District Office – Form 912)
Long Term Care Eligibility Several tests are applied to long term care facilities to ensure they are  operating  entities rather than passive real estate type entities (e.g. apartments). Specific State licensing Or  Certain services included in base such as; 24 hour care 2 meals per day Laundry services
Eligible Passive Company An Eligible Passive Company (EPC) is generally formed to hold the fixed assets of an Operating Company (OC) – e.g. a real estate holding company EPCs are an exception to the regulations against Passive income
EPCs  and OCs EPC lease must run only to OC OC must comply with occupancy rules Lease Term must be equal or greater than the term of the loan; Lease payments cannot exceed the EPC’s loan payment EPC and OC should be co-borrowers
“ Small” Business Size Standard Size standard for Long Term Care varies between $7MM – 13.5MM in annual revenue. A  NEW  alternative size standard for 7(a) loans is also available on a temporary basis.  Tangible Net Worth less than $15 million, AND Net Income (two-year average) less than $5.0 million (excluding any carry-over losses) Affiliates in calculation – Affiliate is any related business entity of the borrower, or owned separately by any20%+ owner.
Credit Elsewhere Test The applicant must demonstrate a  need  for a guaranty on the loan Lender must determine Applicant is unable to obtain the loan on reasonable terms with SBA guaranty,  AND Some or all of the loan is not available from Resources of the applicant business  OR Personal resources of the business’ principals – Personal Resource Test
Factors that Demonstrate “Need” Need for longer amortization/maturity than lender policy permits Loan exceeds lender’s legal lending limit/policy Lender liquidity depends on secondary market Inadequate collateral under lender policy Violates lender policy regarding loans to new businesses or in applicant’s industry Other factors related to credit that require guarantee To refinance debt already on reasonable terms
Personal Eligibility Each owner (20% or more) must be: Of good character Legally in the United States Able to demonstrate need for credit To determine character Credit reports Form 912, Personal History Statement Form 4506-T, IRS  Verification of Financial Information No prior loss to the government
Personal Resources Test Individual owners with personal liquid resources in excess of SBA specified levels must inject those “excess liquid resources” into the applicant business to reduce the loan request Requirement applies to all 20%+ owners (if both spouses have ownership, only one exemption) “ Liquid assets” – include principal + spouse + dependent children Spouse must sign personal financial statement
Personal Resources Exemption “ How much cash can I have before I have to chip in?”
Underwriting Considerations What are some basic underwriting considerations?
Credit Underwriting Lender must analyze each application in a commercially reasonable and prudent manner Cash flow is primary source of repayment (not liquidation of collateral) Application must be declined if cash flow is inadequate to provide reasonable assurance of timely repayment, regardless of collateral
Equity Requirements “ Skin in the game” Borrower equity is required  Rule of thumb: 10%-20% of total project cost is recommended Lenders required to verify injections prior to disbursing loan proceeds
Collateral Requirements Loan must be fully secured at liquidation value to the extent that collateral is available,  BUT The SBA will not decline a loan solely on the basis of insufficient collateral If business collateral at liquidation value is inadequate to secure loan, lender must take all available personal assets of principals Inventory and A/R are excluded from collateral valuation
Guarantees All owners of 20% or more are required to pledge a full, unlimited personal guaranty If a spouse owns 5% and the combined ownership of spouses totals 20%, both must fully guaranty Full or limited guaranties of other parties may be required if necessary for credit reasons
Collateral Supporting Personal Guarantee Personal residence may be taken as secondary collateral when: Required by bank OR Other collateral is weak and equity in residence exceeds 25% of market value In some States, liens on secondary collateral may be limited to 150% of the equity in the collateral, rather than loan amount, where there are tax implications
Collateral Supporting Personal Guarantee Assignment of Life Insurance Policy Required if lender determines viability of business is tied to an individual AND Required to cover collateral shortfalls
Use of Proceeds What can be financed under SBA 7a? Eligible Uses Real Estate considerations Refinancing Change of ownership
Eligible Uses of Proceeds New starts Business acquisitions Expansions Working capital Land, buildings, equipment Debt refinancing
Ineligible Uses of Proceeds Pay delinquent taxes or other funds held in trust (payment of delinquent income taxes may be permitted if the applicant has an approved payment arrangement with the IRS) Pay or refinance debt used for distributions to associates of the applicant
Real Estate Occupancy Requirements Purchase of existing building: applicant must occupy 51% of rentable property New construction:  60% must be occupied by applicant immediately. 80% must be occupied within 10 years 20% may be leased out “permanently” Loan to EPC:  EPC must lease 100% to OC, and OC must comply with occupancy rules
Refinancing Existing Debt Two Tests: Credit must not be available elsewhere on reasonable terms Refinancing must provide small business a substantial benefit
Restructuring of revolving lines of credit – other lender not willing to renew line or better interest rate and/or term Business credit cards (business use must be certified) Long term debt structured with a demand note or balloon payment  Debt that no longer meets borrower’s need  Debt Considered Unreasonable
New debt improves cash flow by 10% For multiple notes, each DOES NOT have to be improved by 10%, but none may have a higher debt service after the refinancing Old debt’s interest exceeds SBA maximums Old debt is over collateralized Provide a Substantial Benefit
Refinancing Same Lender Debt Must provide transcript for the last 36 months: Explanation for any past due (over 30 days) Standard processing only – cannot use PLP authority
Refinancing Previous SBA Debt Refinance SBA debt from another institution  Contact existing lender to verify that they are unwilling to modify the terms/conditions of the existing loan to meet your structure Document this conversation in the loan file (date, time, person with whom you spoke, summary of conversation, etc.) Refinance same-institution SBA debt Only allowed if a secondary market investor will not agree to modified terms Standard processing only
Change of Ownership Applicant must purchase 100% of business, OR existing owner(s) must purchase the stock of a selling owner resulting in 100% ownership by purchaser(s) Promote development of or preserve the business - must be in the best interest of the business (not buyer or seller)
SBA Express Program Currently limited to $1,000M 50% SBA guarantee Can include revolving credit facilities More flexible underwriting than 7a – based on PLP bank credit standards
SBA 504 Program
SBA 504 Program Banks typically are the primary point of contact as they will provide the 50% of the total financing package as well as interim financing for the SBA Debenture Work in partnership with a Community Development Corporation (CDC)  Certified Development Companies (CDCs) are non-profit corporations certified and regulated by the SBA to package, process, close, and service 504 loans.

Special Debt Refinance Program Eligibility-cont. If the amount of refinance is not sufficient to repay the entire outstanding debt, third party lender must disclose how the balance of the debt will be handled.

Notes should contain a three-year stand-by agreement. Forgive all or part of the deficiency.
Special Debt Refinance Program Eligibility-cont. Third party loan and 504 loan combined may not be more than 90% of the FMV of fixed asset securing the loan.

An appraisal of FMV of all assets used as collateral is required, and must be dated within 6 months of application.  Borrower, Lender, and CDC must certify the debt is eligible for refinancing.
Special Debt Refinancing Program - Debt Structure and Lien Position Structure remains 50% bank financing, and at least a 10% borrower contribution. The transcript of account for entire period of loan must be provided when refinancing same bank debt. Third party loan cannot be sold on the secondary market as part of a pool of guaranteed loans. Third party lender and SBA must be in first/second lien.  Any other lien must be junior in priority to these.
