As of January 2025, there are no plans to forgive outstanding SBA EIDL loans.
As of 2024, businesses with COVID-19 EIDL loans must focus on managing their repayment obligations. These loans are not eligible for forgiveness (except for the EIDL advance grants) and require full repayment.
EIDLs for less than $200,000 are generally not personally guaranteed, which means the business owner is not personally liable for the debt as long as the business is structured as an LLC or corporation.
What Is a Subordination Agreement? A subordination agreement is a legal document that establishes one debt as ranking behind another in priority for collecting repayment from a debtor. The priority of debts can become extremely important when a debtor defaults on their payments or declares bankruptcy.
Subordinating a lien is a process where the initial financial entity (SBA or your bank) agrees to rank its lien position behind an incoming lien on the assets of the company (i.e. accounts and accounts receivable of your company).
In simple terms, IRS lien subordination allows the IRS to move its lien below other existing liens (like a mortgage), giving priority to those debts when a property is sold or refinanced.
Individuals who own 20% or more of a small business applicant must provide an unlimited personal guaranty.
