The SBA ARC Loan program continues to be problematic for many struggling small businesses as this program has evolved in unexpected ways compared to what was touted when it was launched. The loan amount is too small to help many businesses (Ask Congress why they thought this would be enough). The amount of documentation is nearly the same as is needed for a $1million loan. And the biggest issue that borrowers are facing is finding a lender who will loan to them, which is based on the type of qualifying debt that applicant has. So even if a business is qualified, it is far from automatic that they get a loan. As the article intimates, banks are wary and the debt they “prefer” are the term loans, notes and capital equipment leases, because the borrower can’t draw back on them once the ARC Loan pays off that debt.
My company, Business Borrowers Alliance, is continuing to contact the banks that have been named as participants to learn what their specific requirements are and most continue to only want to do ARC Loans for only their customers that specifically have loans at their bank.

We provide direct assistance and help to businesses throughout the complete ARC Loan application process.
The SBA ARC is too little too late. One of the determining factors they use to decide if you are a viable business or not is that you must show a profit for one of the last two years on your income tax return. MANY Real Estate Brokers have lost money for the last two years, but are very much viable businesses. This deal should have been offered last year.
I contacted the Los Angeles SBA district office and they completely contradicted the assertion of this article. They insisted that real estate agents are not eligible for these loans. What do I do now?
Can anyone think of a less worthy borrower than a flat broke Realtor in debt?

I acted on the information NAR provided regarding SBA Loans being available to real estate agents. Last week, after submitting a SBA loan application, I received word from my bank that I do not qualify for an SBA Section 7a Loan. The reason: as a real estate agent I am not a business. The bank, Sandy Spring, offered a home equity loan, instead.
I wanted to make NAR aware of the above. Using a portion of my pension income to finance my real estate business is insufficient for where I want to take my business.
Your advice will enable me to understand how optimistic I should be about the chance to acquire SBA financed working capital.
