On July 29, 2022, SBA announced in SBA Procedural Notice 5000-835230 revised guidance authorizing CDC Closing Counsel to confirm franchise closing documents conform with SBA Franchise Procedures and the SBA Franchise Directory.
To better assist CDCs and their Closing Counsels on SBA’s revised guidance, NADCO is hosting a live webinar with special guest Steve O’Lear, Chief Franchise Counsel for SBA.
According to our conversations with SBA leadership, the revised guidance is effective August 18, 2022. This training is critical for CDCs and CDC closing counsels. NADCO encourages CDCs to share this email with your closing counsels to attend this very important webinar.
