The $10M Combined Cap Reminder + Myths That Kill Deals | June 9, 2026
<p>This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are tackling:</p> <ul> <li>⏳ <strong>The Countdown to $10M:</strong> The historic $10M combined 7(a) and 504 loan limit officially takes effect on July 4, and lenders are actively structuring deals now. </li> <li>🛑 <strong>The Sourcing Trap:</strong> Many borrowers assume creative deal structures or unverified assets satisfy equity rules, only to watch their deals freeze during final source-of-funds verification.</li> <li>⚖️ <strong>Creative ≠ Compliant:</strong> There is a massive gap between what a lender finds acceptable and what the SBA will actually guarantee.</li> <li>📜 <strong>What "Good" Equity Looks Like:</strong> 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. </li> </ul> <p>How are you and your team preparing your pipeline for the upcoming July 4th limit changes? </p> <p>🛠 This episode is sponsored by <a href= "https://sbacollective.com/"><strong>SBA Collective</strong></a> — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.</p> <hr /> <p>Disclaimer: The views expressed on this show are our own and not necessarily those of our employer.</p>

AI Value Myths, New Loss Waivers, & Live Co-Pilot Agents | June 2, 2026
<p>This week on SBA Today, Paul T Long and Tonya Mazurek are tackling:</p> <ul> <li>📊 The AI Valuation Reality: 67% of intermediaries report AI has no material impact on business valuations yet—fundamentals still carry the deal.</li> <li>🔓 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.</li> <li>🚫 The Waiver Exception: This new waiver authority completely excludes prior defaults on PPP, EIDL, or other non-SBA federal financing.</li> <li>🛠️ Live AI Agent Build: Paul shares his framework for feeding the SBA SOP into enterprise AI tools to answer tricky underwriting questions.</li> </ul> <p>The Bottom Line: Shifting policy limits mean more deals can clear previous hurdles, but underwriting accuracy remains paramount.</p> <p>If you are still manually digging through hundreds of pages of text to verify small loan projection requirements, you are burning valuable deal time. </p> <hr /> <p>🛠 This episode is sponsored by <a href= "https://sbacollective.com/"><strong>SBA Collective</strong></a> — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.</p> <hr /> <p>Disclaimer: The views expressed on this show are our own and not necessarily those of our employer.</p>
