Isn’t their total for loans around $60-70bn? Means they’ll run out of EIDL funds very soon.

I called SBA about the EIDL loan, and tier 1 support answered the call with no hold time.

She did confirm that the loan term starts at funding, not when docs are released. That I have sixty days to sign the docs, and that if I already have a PPP I don’t have to roll the EIDL loan into it, but that my PPP forgiveness would be reduced by the amount of my EIDL advance.

Once I get loan docs I’ll ask tier 2 (the ones who can access a loan applications and answer application-specific questions) and ask the same questions.

Tier 2 was useless, didn’t sound much more knowledgeable than tier 1.

I accepted the loan because T2 advised me that even if I’m approved I might not get funded if funds run out. Probably DROPR, but I don’t want to find out the hard way.

Also couldn’t really clarify why site told me I have 30 days to sign while loan docs said 60 days.

The only number (of many I tried) that worked for me is  888-313-4078

And what's the competence level there, beyond reading what I can see online?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Did you try the classic “can I speak to your supervisor”?

One time I used that number, the competence was quite high. The other, not so much.

"Supervisor is not available", "Supervisor said that they will give the sane answer".

That’s definitely something you DROPR. I’ve heard that so many times when calling companies, and yet the supervisor was able to offer/do more.

STILL LONG WAY TO GO...

With $50 billion from Congress, the agency can currently fund a total of about $350 billion in loans, Scott said.

Some back of the hand math:
4m applicants
$65K avg loan so far
$350B to disburse (if you’re correct)

Means there’s more than enough money for each of the 4m EIDL applicants to get a loan. Please CMIIW

Now I read (skimmed) the article you linked and I don’t follow. What does the quote actually mean:
“ With $50 billion from Congress, the agency can currently fund a total of about $350 billion in loans, Scott said.”

If congress only approved $50bn, where does the other $300bn come from?

Unlike PPP where loans are forgivable and funds must be apportioned by Congress to fund these eventual grants, EIDL are loans which are expected to be paid back so they can give out 7X what they apportioned. (apparently they expect 14%-15% to default on their loans)

That’s a pretty scary default rate. Maybe there’s just a ratio to how much they can (over?)leverage themselves. I guess this is pretty good news for anyone who applied hoping to get an EIDL

If they could process 260k loans in one week for approval, they might get through all 4mm applications by the end of August.

Question about EIDL - we have been offered on a few companies EIDL loans for up to $150K. As the terms of 30 years @ 3.75% for a business loan are pretty attractive, are there reasons not to take the loans ( assuming we have ability to pay it back obviously)? There have been some saying that SBA loans may be onerous for the collateral ( i.e. would need SBA approval to sell any assets that are collateral) or documentation that would be required to be kept for the entire terms of the loan to prove it was used only for certain purposes, or may be required to hire an external accounting review etc... Was wondering what others thoughts were on these.

Also, what is the case if you do not have collateral for your business?

Basically anything other than inventory is collateral, and you need written SBA authorization to sell any collateral.

If you don’t have any collateral they’ll lend you the money anyway, though assets you acquire might become collateral as well, consult a lawyer.

FWIU, if you borrow $25k or less (per company?) they don’t do the collateral thingy.

Thanks for the info.

Anything else to look out for or concerns we should have in taking out these loans? Are there any other negatives to the EIDL Loans?
