SBA's New SOP: Changes, Impacts, and Industry Reactions | Ep. 57 | The BDO Show

Welcome back to The BDO Show—where SOPs change faster than a Tampa street scene and SBA rumors become reality. 🌊

📢 In this episode, we break down the brand new SBA SOP—what's changing, who's winning, who's losing, and how the industry is reacting.

Chris Hackney, Sterling Birdsong, and Emily Detor (with a surprise Ray Drew appearance) unpack:
🔹 Why the new seller note rules are causing waves
🔹 How the SBA is tightening up MCA refinancing (and why it's controversial)
🔹 What the end of partial buyouts might mean for business succession
🔹 Why small loan changes are confusing lenders—and borrowers alike
🔹 The political and practical realities behind these sweeping updates

From equity injection drama to MCA crackdowns, we're diving into the real-world impacts behind the SBA’s latest moves.
