For SBA lenders
Short answer
Key borrower information such as legal name, address, ownership percentages, SSN/EIN, and certifications must be entirely consistent across SBA Form 1919, the lender's application, and E-Tran to avoid processing delays or errors.
SBA Form 1919 serves as the primary borrower information and certification document. Any discrepancies between the data on this form and other submitted documents, including what is entered into E-Tran, can trigger flags for review, delay processing, or indicate potential misrepresentation. Consistency is vital for integrity.
The borrower's ownership percentage is listed as 60% on Form 1919, but 70% in the lender's E-Tran submission. This inconsistency requires the lender to reconcile the information, delaying the application.
