In short
These are laws designed to prevent financial transactions that hide illegally obtained money. Your lender must comply with these, which means they'll scrutinize your funding sources and identity.
As part of the SBA loan process, your lender must ensure your funds aren't from illegal activities. This means providing clear documentation for your equity injection, including bank statements and proof of funds. Expect thorough checks on your identity and the source of your capital.
