For SBA lenders
Short answer
Critical data fields on SBA Form 1919 that must be consistent with E-Tran include borrower name, business address, NAICS code, ownership percentages, loan amount, and use of proceeds.
SBA Form 1919 collects essential borrower information and certifications. Inconsistencies between this form and the E-Tran submission can lead to processing delays or rejection. Key fields directly impact eligibility, loan structure, and reporting, requiring precise matching to ensure a smooth application and authorization process.
If SBA Form 1919 states the loan amount is $750,000 but the E-Tran submission requests $800,000, the SBA will flag this discrepancy. The lender must ensure all such critical information matches exactly before submission to avoid issues.
