SOP 50 10 8 A.Ch1.D.2
2. When Applicant size is determined (13 CFR § 121.302) The size of an Applicant for SBA financial assistance is determined as of the date the application is accepted for processing by SBA. Changes in the size of the business subsequent to that date will not disqualify an Applicant for assistance. For 7(a), if the Applicant is an existing business and is using the proposed loan proceeds to acquire another business through either the purchase of assets or stock, the sizes of the two businesses combined is used to determine if the application meets small business size standards. For 504, if the Applicant is using the proposed loan proceeds to finance the acquisition of assets in conjunction with a change of ownership, the sizes of the two businesses are combined to determine if the Applicant meets small business size standards. For applications processed under an SBA Lender’s delegated authority (PLP, SBA Express, Export Express, PLP-EWCP, and PCLP CDC), the size of the small business is determined as of the date of approval of the loan by the SBA Lender.
Operationalizing SBA SOP 50 10 8, A.Ch1.D.2 — When Applicant size is determined
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.
