When it comes to SBA lending, precision, compliance, and risk management are crucial. LCS offers comprehensive Environmental, Construction, and Appraisal Due Diligence solutions specifically designed for SBA lenders. Our services ensure your SBA-backed loans meet all necessary requirements while protecting your investments from unforeseen risks.
Environmental Due Diligence is a vital component of the SBA lending process. LCS provides a full range of services, including:
Our SBA-compliant Record Search with Risk Assessment (RSRA) delivers a clear, easy-to-understand risk rating based on the most advanced environmental data available. This service helps lenders quickly identify properties that may require additional review or due diligence, minimizing the risk of environmental liabilities.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments:
We offer thorough environmental site assessments to ensure compliance with SBA’s SOP 50 10 7 standards and adhering to the most up to date ASTM requirements. By identifying potential environmental risks early, we help you avoid costly delays and ensure your loans meet both SBA and regulatory requirements.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments:
When further investigation is needed, our Phase II testing evaluates potential contamination issues, offering clear recommendations on how to proceed.
Effective Construction due diligence is critical for ensuring the success of your SBA-backed projects. LCS offers:
Plan, Specification, and Cost Reviews:
LCS reviews construction plans and cost estimates to ensure they align with the project goals and SBA requirements, helping you avoid surprises and manage your project efficiently.
Construction Monitoring/Draws:
Our comprehensive construction monitoring services provide oversight throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that everything stays on track, within budget, and in compliance with SBA requirements.
Our team inspects a subject property with the intent of identifying any deficiencies that could cause issues with the collateral and ultimately create risk for the borrower.
Accurate property valuations are essential for SBA lending. LCS provides:
Available in select locations, our Hybrid Appraisal Report combines the best elements of traditional appraisals with advanced analytical techniques driven by experienced appraisers supported by vetted property data collectors, providing a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for property valuation. This service is tailored to meet specific needs and ensures compliance with all relevant regulations
Financial Modeling & Complex Lease Analysis:
Our team provides data-driven financial strategies tailored to your real estate ventures. We forecast financial futures, analyze cash flows, assess return metrics, and evaluate risks. Our lease analysis services dissect intricate lease agreements, providing clear insights into lease obligations and their implications on property value.
For small balance loans that may not require a full appraisal, our commercial evaluations offer a cost-effective alternative, fully compliant with SBA guidelines. LCS offers concierge level evaluation products where our clients receive quick turn-around times, a direct communication line to the Evaluation writer, and a fully vetted process which produces a well-supported opinion of market value, thereby mitigating client risk.
Our detailed appraisal reviews ensure compliance with SBA requirements, verifying that property valuations are both accurate and reliable.
Commercial Appraisal Validation Report:
Validation reports serve transactions where you have a previous appraisal report with a sound value and are looking to just make sure that the value of the asset has not declined. Our licensed appraisers can “validate” the prior appraised value providing an actionable report as of a current date. LCS appraisers bring expertise and diligence to each validation, considering key factors such as property condition, market trends, and significant variables like improvements, maintenance, and financing. This service reduces risks and supports informed lending decisions with tailored market updates and assessments.
By conducting thorough market analysis, we provide a clear understanding of a property’s value in the current market, helping you make informed lending decisions.
