SOP 50 10 8 A.Ch4.D.5
5. Lender Service Provider 13 CFR § 103.1(d) “Lender Service Provider” means an Agent who carries out Lender functions in originating, disbursing, servicing, or liquidating a specific SBA business loan or loan portfolio for compensation from the Lender. A Lender must have a continuing ability to evaluate, process, close, service, liquidate and litigate small business loans (13 CFR § 120.410). A Lender may contract with a third party (Lender Service Provider (LSP)) to assist the Lender with one or more of these functions. However, the Lender itself, not the LSP, must be able to demonstrate that it exercises day-to-day responsibility for evaluating, processing, closing, disbursing, servicing, liquidating, and litigating its SBA portfolio. SBA determines whether or not an Agent is an LSP on a loan-by-loan basis. If an Agent meets the definition of an LSP, a formal agreement between the Agent and Lender is required and must be reviewed by SBA. All participating Lenders must submit each LSP agreement to the LGPC for review. Lenders may submit the agreements to [email protected]. If there are any changes to an LSP agreement after review by SBA, the Lender must submit the revised agreement to SBA for review. SBA will investigate any complaint by an Applicant, Lender, or any other participant in an SBA program, concerning the activity, services completed, or fees charged by any LSP. SBA reserves the right to audit compliance with any SBA-reviewed LSP agreement.
Operationalizing SBA SOP 50 10 8, A.Ch4.D.5 — Lender Service Provider
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.
