Post-closing review
In short
This is when the lender, or often the SBA itself, reviews the loan file after closing to ensure all regulations, policies, and conditions were met. It verifies the loan was properly approved and documented.
What it means in a deal
Even after you've closed and funded your SBA 7(a) loan, the SBA can conduct a post-closing review. If errors are found, it could impact the SBA guarantee or even lead to a call of the guaranty. Ensure all documentation is accurate and complete.
