For SBA lenders
Short answer
The UPP requires comprehensive documentation including the Note, Guaranties, Authorization, Transcripts of Account, liquidation analysis, collateral documents, and a detailed lender narrative justifying the loss.
The Universal Purchase Package (UPP) standardizes the documentation lenders must submit to the SBA when requesting the purchase of the guaranteed portion of a defaulted loan. It requires all legal loan documents, evidence of loan disbursement and servicing, proof of collateral perfection, a detailed accounting of loan balances and expenses, and a narrative explaining the default and liquidation efforts. This allows the SBA to thoroughly review the claim.
To submit a UPP, a lender must include the original Note, all Personal Guaranties, the SBA Loan Authorization, Form 1149 (Transcript of Account), copies of UCC filings and deeds of trust, environmental reports, and a step-by-step account of all servicing and liquidation activities.
