Glossary · People and paperwork
In short
A group within a lending institution responsible for reviewing and approving or denying loan applications, especially larger or more complex ones like SBA 7(a) acquisitions.
After your lender's underwriter compiles your loan package, it goes to the Loan Committee for final approval. This is where the deal gets a thorough review against the lender's Credit Policy and SBA's Eligibility Rules. Presenting a clear, well-supported case through your lender is vital for success in securing the financing.
