Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
This is the act of sending money, often related to loan payments or fees. For SBA loans, it refers to how lenders send the upfront guaranty fee and ongoing servicing fees to the SBA.
As a buyer, you won't directly deal with remittances to the SBA. Your lender handles remitting the upfront guaranty fee and the ongoing servicing fee from your payments to the SBA. These fees are part of your total loan costs, so understand how they are structured into your payments, even though the lender manages the actual transfer.
