An SBA guaranteed loan workout – what can be done?

More than you may imagine….


If you are reading this post, you undoubtedly have an SBA guaranteed loan and are having problems with it. Possibly in default or you may be getting ready to default. My blog and my business mission is about eliminating debt and preserving assets.Helping business owners reach their goals, helping them overcome difficult business problems and build profitable organizations. Frequently I am the last line of defense. No other way out. Crushing debt, unable to pay, reduced revenues, increasing overhead, changing business environment.


Our debt forgiveness strategy is the only Small Business Bailout program available, and it works! Bankruptcy does not work, it will cost you your business and your personal guaranty may require the payoff anyways, so what’s the point? There are no other options that produce the results we can offer. Debt reduction is the only solution. So go ahead and contact us with the form above or through the contact options below:

  • Phone: 413.584.2581
  • Email: info@secondwindconsultants.com.

Norm will arrange a no obligation tele-conference for us to review your situation and provide you with an alternative resolution, a debt forgiveness strategy. Freedom. Emergence. Success.



Yes, you must be in default to enter into a workout negotiation, universal default!

One of the more ridiculous practices, but it is very true; you must be in default to engage in a workout negotiation. The bank’s logic being, why negotiate a reduction if the borrower is current; obviously they can pay, they surmise.

Unfortunately, any intelligent attempt to demonstrate through projections trends, advance orders, broken contracts, declining orders, etc., falls on deaf ears…no workout discussion until default. Despite the additional reality that if a workout were entered into before default and total destruction and loss, it is possible that greater amounts of borrowed money could be paid back as well as keeping the business going.

With credit cards, it is required that at least 90 days of default is required before a workout will be discussed.

One frequently misunderstood situation, when working out any secured note, or debt, either with banks or leasing companies, if current on credit cards, this infuriates and prevents successful workouts with defaulted secured notes and loans. The banks and lessors and collection agencies or lawyers can check your credit activity and can see if you are current on any other debt…being current on other debts, especially lower priority debts creates a difficult problem for the workout.

When in workout, be in default on everything.

  • Take Advantage of Creditors Monthly Quotas
    When working to settle credit card debt, I have found through experience that it pays to wait until the end of the month.  Collection agents that work for the credit card companies, law offices, and private collection firms all have monthly quotas they have to meet.  I have found that this can be exploited in [...] […]

  • Getting the bank to work on OUR schedule.
    I was recently dealing with a situation which required the bank’s appraisal process to occur in a VERY short period of time. We already had our appraisal conducted, but needed the bank to get theirs done (due to the bank’s requirements for a private sale of assets). Here’s the caveat – it needed to be [...] […]

  • Landlord Settlement
    I had great success this week in one of the areas that has historically been the toughest to deal with, a landlord issue. Throughout my experience, I have found that landlords are much more difficult to deal with than banks on all matters regarding settling an account for less than the total amount owed. In [...] […]
