    The $10M Combined Cap Reminder + Myths That Kill Deals | June 9, 2026

    This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are tackling: ⏳ The Countdown to $10M: The historic $10M combined 7(a) and 504 loan limit officially takes effect on July 4, and lenders are actively structuring deals now.  🛑 The Sourcing Trap: Many borrowers assume creative deal structures or unverified assets satisfy equity rules, only to watch their deals freeze during final source-of-funds verification. ⚖️ Creative ≠ Compliant: There is a massive gap between what a lender finds acceptable and what the SBA will actually guarantee. 📜 What "Good" Equity Looks Like: Tonya maps out the clear boundaries between problematic funds and acceptable capital—proving that equity isn't just about money, it's about the paper trail.  How are you and your team preparing your pipeline for the upcoming July 4th limit changes?  🛠 This episode is sponsored by SBA Collective — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.

    AI Value Myths, New Loss Waivers, & Live Co-Pilot Agents | June 2, 2026

    This week on SBA Today, Paul T Long and Tonya Mazurek are tackling: 📊 The AI Valuation Reality: 67% of intermediaries report AI has no material impact on business valuations yet—fundamentals still carry the deal. 🔓 New Prior Loss Waivers: Effective June 1, 2026, the SBA can grant case-by-case waivers if the affected owner held a non-controlling stake under 20% and never guaranteed the defaulted loan. 🚫 The Waiver Exception: This new waiver authority completely excludes prior defaults on PPP, EIDL, or other non-SBA federal financing. 🛠️ Live AI Agent Build: Paul shares his framework for feeding the SBA SOP into enterprise AI tools to answer tricky underwriting questions. The Bottom Line: Shifting policy limits mean more deals can clear previous hurdles, but underwriting accuracy remains paramount. If you are still manually digging through hundreds of pages of text to verify small loan projection requirements, you are burning valuable deal time.  🛠 This episode is sponsored by SBA Collective — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.

    This week on SBA Today, Paul is back for this jam-packed episode! He and Tonya breakdown: 🛑 The No-Skin Searcher Trap: Why credit teams are souring on search fund deals where the "CEO" brings zero direct industry experience and 100% investor-backed down payments.  📊 Demystifying Parris Scores: Why understanding your portfolio's Cumulative Net Yield is like analyzing an insurance drain.  🤖 AI in Underwriting: How smart shops are using custom agents to stress-test the SOP and audit PSAs or leases for compliance red flags.  🏆 The Patriot Pitch Competition: What a newly launched $1 million prize pool means for growth-stage businesses that have already utilized SBA financing. The Bottom Line: SBA credit departments are tightening the screws on low-equity business acquisitions, but the agency is simultaneously rolling out major capital and exposure incentives for growth-stage operators who execute cleanly.  🛠 This episode is sponsored by SBA Collective—empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.  Disclaimer: The views expressed on this show are our own and not necessarily those of our employer.
