The Uptiq Underwriting Agent for SBA Lending is an AI platform for SBA preferred lenders that automates multi-year financial spreading, affiliate network risk aggregation, SBA form data reconciliation, and credit memo packaging for SBA 7(a) and 504 loan programs. It eliminates the manual administrative tasks that delay small business funding and generate SBA loan repairs.
The agent automatically verifies SBA eligibility at application intake by screening against SBA SOP 50 10 requirements - including NAICS code size standards, restricted business type exclusions, citizenship requirements, principal criminal background checks, and prior SBA debt delinquency via CAIVRS. Ineligible applications are flagged before underwriting resources are committed, and all determinations are fully documented for the loan file.
The agent automatically scans applicant entity documentation to discover corporate relationships, aggregates employee and revenue statistics, and verifies size standard compliance against SBA affiliation rules - consolidating related businesses, parent companies, and majority-owned subsidiaries per SBA requirements without manual analyst work.
The agent spreads financials for the borrowing entity, all SBA affiliates, and every owner holding 20% or more equity - computing global cash flow and global DSCR per SBA guidelines. It handles pass-through income, K-1 distributions, owner compensation addbacks, and complex multi-entity ownership structures automatically, producing a documented global cash flow analysis ready for credit committee review.
Most SBA preferred lenders are live in 15-20 business days. Uptiq handles SBA policy configuration, ETRAN/CAIVRS integration, SBA form template setup, and LOS connectivity - with no rip-and-replace of existing systems required. PLP lenders with complex internal credit overlays may require additional configuration time.
The Underwriting Agent holds a SOC 2 Type II certification and produces loan-file-ready documentation satisfying SBA examiner standards under the SBA Office of Credit Risk Management (OCRM). Every eligibility determination, spreading calculation, and credit memo element links to the originating source document - supporting SBA loan reviews, lender performance reviews, and post-closing examination requirements.
The agent reduces SBA repairs and denials by catching eligibility issues at intake, automatically cross-checking SBA form fields for mismatches and missing data, and ensuring all required SBA documentation is present before submission. Lenders using the agent have seen repair and denial rates decline by approximately 40% by addressing the documentation gaps that most commonly trigger SBA exceptions.
Yes. The agent applies both SBA program guidelines and your institution's internal credit policy overlays simultaneously. Internal parameters - DSCR floors above SBA minimums, LTV ceilings, equity injection thresholds, and collateral requirements - are configured separately and layered on top of SBA requirements, with exceptions clearly documented and routed to the appropriate approval tier.
Our team handles deployment end-to-end - from SBA policy configuration and ETRAN integration to credit memo packaging and go-live. Most SBA lenders are in production within 5 business days, with no disruption to existing deal workflows.
