Glossary · Doing the deal
Post-closing event
In short
This is any action or condition that occurs after the loan closing date but is still related to the transaction, often requiring specific follow-up. It could be a required filing, a final payment, or a condition that must be met.
What it means in a deal
Even after your SBA 7(a) loan closes, your "SBA Loan Authorization" may stipulate "post-closing events." These could include filing a UCC lien, obtaining specific insurance, or providing final documentation. Understand and complete all these items to remain in compliance with your loan agreement.
