Your SBA Loan Check List
Once you’ve decided to apply for a loan guaranteed by the SBA, you’ll need to collect the appropriate documents for your application. Use the checklist below as a guideline to ensure you have everything the lender may ask for to complete the application. Once the loan package is complete, the lender will submit it to the SBA.❒ Borrower Information Form
To begin the process, the small business owner will need to complete SBA Form 1919. This form must be completed by all associates of the business applicant as required on the form, to include all owners of 20% or more of the business, all officers and directors, managing members, any person hired to manage the day-to-day operations and any other person who is guaranteeing the loan.

❒ Statement of Personal History - SBA Form 912 (If required after completing Form 1919)
