Glossary · The loan itself
In short
This is where SBA lenders can sell the guaranteed portion of their loans to other investors. It provides liquidity to lenders, encouraging them to make more SBA loans.
Your SBA lender might sell the guaranteed portion of your loan on the secondary market. This doesn't change your loan terms, interest rate, or payment schedule. You'll continue to interact with your original lender or a designated loan servicer.
