Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
A preliminary strategy developed by the lender to recover funds if a loan defaults, outlining how collateral would be seized and sold. While you aim for success, this plan is always in the background.
When a loan defaults, the lender must submit an Initial Liquidation Plan to the SBA detailing their strategy to recover the outstanding balance. This plan identifies all Collateral, estimates its value, and outlines the steps for Debt Collection and sale. Understanding your personal guarantee and pledged assets means understanding this potential outcome.
