SOP 50 10 8: New Working Capital Rules for 7(a) Small Loans Explained
The SBA’s new SOP 50 10 8 introduces significant changes for the 7(a) Small Loan program, effective June 1, 2025. Lenders must now provide detailed justification in their credit memorandum when 50% or more of a loan over $50,000 is for working capital. This change is tied to new, stricter collateral requirements, mandating a lien on all of the applicant business’s fixed assets until the loan is fully secured. These updates reflect the SBA’s increased focus on stronger underwriting and risk mitigation. Lenders need to adapt their processes to meet these heightened documentation and collateralization standards to continue effectively providing working capital to small businesses.
