In short
This is the form your lender submits to the SBA to request their guaranty on your 7(a) loan. It's a critical step in getting your loan approved.
Your lender prepares and submits the Application for Guaranty (Form 1919 and supporting documents) to the SBA after their internal underwriting. This formal request for the SBA's backing is a major milestone. Ensure all information you've provided to your lender is accurate, as it will be reflected in this application.
