SOP 50 10 8 A.Ch1.B
B. ORGANIZED FOR PROFIT 13 CFR § 120.100(b) All Applicants must be organized for profit. Non-profit businesses are not eligible for SBA business loan assistance. For-profit subsidiaries of non-profits may be eligible. 1. In order to determine an Applicant’s for-profit status, the SBA Lender may review the Applicant’s organizational documents, for example: Articles of Incorporation/ Organization (filed with the Secretary of State or similar department in the state where the Applicant is organized); Corporate bylaws and any amendments; Partnership Agreements; Association Bylaws; and Tax Returns. 2. If all other eligibility requirements are met, 13 CFR § 120.110(a) allows for-profit entities that are subsidiaries of a non-profit to be eligible for SBA assistance. The SBA Lender must include the non-profit affiliate’s receipts or employees, as applicable, in determining the for-profit entity’s size, except that the size of a business concern owned and controlled by a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) is measured independent of its parent NHO, and of other concerns owned by the NHO based on common ownership, management, or the performance of common administrative services. 13 CFR § 121.103(b)(2). The loan proceeds must be used exclusively for the benefit of the for-profit business. If the non-profit affiliate owns 20% or more of the for-profit business but cannot or will not guarantee the loan, the for-profit business is not eligible for SBA assistance.
Operationalizing SBA SOP 50 10 8, A.Ch1.B — ORGANIZED FOR PROFIT
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
