Borrower Compliance

SBA Life Insurance Compliance

I work with SBA lenders in the Atlanta metro on borrower compliance — specifically the life insurance requirement on 7(a) and 504 loans.

Fast, lender-friendly coordination so your borrowers close on time and fully covered.

What I Do

Keep Borrower Compliance On Track

SBA-backed loans require proof of life insurance that protects the lender and the business. I help streamline that requirement so nothing falls through the cracks before closing.

Policy Documentation

Ensure the borrower’s life insurance policy meets SBA standards for amount, term, and beneficiary assignment.

Lender Coordination

Work directly with your lending team to align coverage with loan authorization and closing timelines.

Atlanta Metro Focus

Local, responsive support for banks, credit unions, and SBA specialists across the Atlanta market.

Loan Programs

7(a) & 504 Coverage

Program 1

SBA 7(a) Loans

The SBA typically requires life insurance equal to the loan amount, with the lender named as collateral assignee. I help verify coverage matches the authorization and closing checklist.

Program 2

SBA 504 Loans

For 504 financing, the borrower must maintain life insurance on key principals. I coordinate with lenders and CDCs to confirm policies satisfy program requirements.

Beyond SBA Loans

Key-Person Insurance

Your people are your most valuable asset. Key-person insurance helps protect the business you have built against the sudden loss of the owner, founder, or another indispensable leader.

Protect Continuity

If a founder, owner, or critical leader passes away unexpectedly, key-person insurance provides the capital your business needs to stabilize operations, retain talent, and reassure lenders or investors.

Secure Financing & Transitions

Lenders and buyers often want evidence that the company can survive the loss of its driving force. A key-person policy strengthens your position during loans, acquisitions, or ownership transitions.

Atlanta-Area Business Focus

I work with local business owners to align coverage with their real risks — whether they are preparing for an SBA loan, a future sale, or simply protecting what they have built.

How It Works

Simple, Lender-First Workflow

1

Lender sends the borrower’s insurance requirement and loan details.

2

I review the SBA authorization and confirm the required coverage amount and term.

3

I coordinate directly with the borrower, carrier, and lender to secure compliant documentation.

4

The lender receives what they need for closing — clear, complete, and on time.
