SOP 50 10 8 A.Ch1.C
C. LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES 13 CFR § 120.100(c) The Applicant must be located in the United States (including its territories and possessions). 1. The Applicant must be located and primarily operate in the United States (including its territories and possessions), be authorized to conduct business in the state, territory, or possession where it seeks SBA financial assistance, pay taxes to the United States (unless exempt, as in certain businesses in Puerto Rico and elsewhere), and to the extent practicable, purchase only American-made equipment and products with the proceeds of the SBA loan. 2. If an Applicant operates internationally, the loan proceeds must be used exclusively for the benefit of the U.S.-based Borrower (as a result, the business and its employees are subject to U.S. and local taxes). 3. Businesses involved in international trade are subject to U.S. trade restrictions. See Ch. 3, Para. B.11 for requirements to comply with U.S. trade restrictions.
Operationalizing SBA SOP 50 10 8, A.Ch1.C — LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES
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.
