How it reads against the published criteria
An estimate to help the founder improve the draft, not a prediction of selection.
| Criterion | Estimate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Description and history of the business and depth of management experience (SOP 50 10 credit analysis: nature of the business, time under current management, management experience, principals' day-to-day involvement). | — / — | Estimate from completeness only: 5 of 44 answers have no open input. No model has read the substance yet — your reviewer will when the drafting model is connected. |
| Ability and likelihood to repay from business cash flow: three years of historical financials plus interim statements for existing businesses; detailed projections with assumptions (debt service coverage 1.15 or better within 2 years) for start-ups. Cash flow is the primary source of repayment, not collateral. | — / — | Estimate from completeness only: 5 of 44 answers have no open input. No model has read the substance yet — your reviewer will when the drafting model is connected. |

No model has read the substance yet — your reviewer will when the drafting model is connected. |
Where the questions come from
Questions are SBA Form 1919 (02/2025), the 7(a) Borrower Information Form, effective March 19, 2025, OMB 3245-0348 (expires 6/30/2027), read 2026-10-08 from the PDF listed on SBA's document page (https://www.sba.gov/document/sba-form-1919-borrower-information-form; the PDF was fetched from the legacy.sba.gov host because the redesigned www.sba.gov returned 404 for the old file path). The form is completed by the small business and submitted to the SBA participating lender, who also applies its own credit forms. 7(a) is open on a rolling basis through lenders (https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/7a-loans, read 2026-10-08). Eligibility, equity injection and credit-analysis requirements come from SOP 50 10 8.1 (effective October 1, 2026, read 2026-10-08) and SBA Procedural Notice 5000-876626 (citizenship, effective March 1, 2026).
- The lender, not SBA, takes the application: its contents vary with loan size and the lender's processing method (SBA's 7(a) page says so). Form 1919 is the only SBA-prescribed borrower form we could read; lenders add their own application, business plan, interim statements and checklists, which are not public and are not modeled.
- The Form 1919 PDF dated 02/2025 is the latest variant SBA's document page lists (page last updated March 31, 2025). Its certification text still refers to 51% ownership by citizens or lawful permanent residents; SBA's March 1, 2026 notice requires 100% U.S. citizen or U.S. national ownership. We found no revised Form 1919 reflecting this; confirm with the lender which version it uses.
- company.us_person_ownership_pct in the profile counts citizens AND lawful permanent residents (13 CFR 121.702). For 7(a) only citizens and U.S. nationals count, so a pass on this rule must be confirmed with the founder.
- Signatures, initials (question 4) and the full certification block are the founder's own and are never drafted. TIN/SSN, home addresses and demographic fields are sensitive and left for the founder to enter on the lender's secure form.
- Form 1920 (Lender's Application for Guaranty) was retired August 1, 2023 and is not a borrower document. SBA Form 912 (Statement of Personal History) exists on sba.gov (updated Feb 2026) but we could not confirm from public text which applicants must file it, so it is not listed as required.
- Founders with prior SBA or federal loan history, other businesses, or legal actions need separate attachments the form asks for but does not template.
- Skeptic 2026-10-08: every one of the 44 question labels was matched against the Form 1919 (02/2025) PDF text; the founder-facing equity (10% start-up), DSC 1.15 within 2 years, 120-day interim statements, 90-day owner financial statements, $5M cap and the interest-rate ceilings were re-confirmed in SOP 50 10 8.1 text. The Working Capital Pilot terms (60 months, 1-year history) were removed because SOP 50 10 8.1 does not state them.
