They're a hassle, but less risk for the primary lender. We worked with primarily smaller Banks, it makes sense for a small bank to work with the program.
Yeah but most small banks don't have any understanding of what it all requires. It's not like an inhouse loan where if the borrower misses a payment they just show up on a report. You gotta jump though hoops and notify tons of stuff to the SBA about it. Not to mention everything needing to be perfect.
