đź“‹ One SBA Checklist to Rule Them All

SBA lenders already have plenty of checklists. But are they all working together?

A Master Checklist can connect the entire loan lifecycle, from application through payoff or liquidation, helping teams improve communication, identify delays, reduce missed requirements, and support SBA compliance.

Our latest article explores how one centralized checklist can provide greater visibility into where every loan stands and what needs to happen next.

Loan data accuracy matters.

Everyone loves SBA 1502 reports… right?
(Yeah… not so much.)

Even small reporting discrepancies can create unnecessary headaches. Here are a few of the most common issues we see:

• Incorrect payment due dates or
past due dates
• Ending balance mismatches
• Undisbursed balance questions
• Interest paid-to-date
discrepancies

The good news? Most of these issues are preventable with the right processes and regular data validation.

Looking for deeper discussion? Join one of LRM's facilitated SBA Lending Roundtables, where lending professionals exchange real-world experiences, discuss reporting challenges, and share best practices for improving data quality and compliance.

We'd love to have you join the conversation. Reach out to learn more or to register for an upcoming Roundtable.

đź“„This month, we're focusing on two areas where disciplined processes make all the difference: SBA Form 1502 reporting and the importance of a Master Checklist that follows every loan from application through payoff.

These topics share a common theme: the strongest SBA lending operations aren't built on reacting to problems. They're built on consistent processes that help prevent them in the first place.

🔎 What’s up with your SBA Form 1502 reporting?

Small discrepancies can turn into bigger, and potentially costly, SBA compliance problems if they aren’t caught early.

Based on our work with SBA lenders and insights from our monthly SBA Form 1502 Roundtable, we’re seeing several common early-warning signs tied to mismatches between lender and FTA records.

In our latest article, we look at trouble spots involving:

âś… Interest calculations
âś… Payment due dates
âś… Principal balances
âś… Loan status codes
âś… FTA reports that can help identify problems

The key? Catch discrepancies early, understand the root cause, and correct them before they create long-term issues.

🤖 AI can help draft SBA credit memos, but it shouldn't replace sound lending judgment.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a valuable tool for improving efficiency, but SBA lenders know that accuracy, compliance, and credit quality still require human expertise.

The best approach? Trust AI, but verify everything. Careful review and due diligence remain essential to ensure credit memos are complete, accurate, and aligned with SBA requirements.

Learn why balancing AI with experienced underwriting is the key to making smarter lending decisions.

🤖 Is AI Changing the Small Business Landscape? Absolutely. But what does that mean for SBA lenders?

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the way small businesses operate, from streamlining daily tasks to improving customer service and decision-making. As more borrowers incorporate AI into their businesses, lenders also need to understand both the opportunities and the potential risks.

The key isn't simply adopting AI, it's knowing where it adds value, where human expertise remains essential, and how it may influence lending decisions in the years ahead.

If you're an SBA lender, staying informed about how AI is transforming the small business landscape can help you better serve your borrowers while adapting to an evolving marketplace.
