Glossary · The loan itself
In short
An official electronic notification from the SBA to the lender regarding a potential issue or default on an SBA-guaranteed loan. This flags loans needing attention or at risk.
This is an internal SBA communication to lenders, not directly to you. It signifies that the SBA has identified a problem with a loan, which could be related to missed payments, servicing deficiencies, or other compliance issues. While you won't receive it, an ENDO often precedes more direct communication from your lender about curing a default.
