In short
This is the formal agreement from you, the buyer (borrower), to the terms and conditions of the SBA loan. It's legally binding and confirms you understand your obligations.
Before closing, you'll sign numerous documents, including the SBA Loan Authorization, which acts as your consent. Ensure you fully understand all covenants and requirements, as breaking them can lead to loan default and recourse.
