Due Diligence and Staff Review Process

The due diligence and staff review process will proceed concurrently with the Review Panel process described in Section III. Various offices within SBA will perform various aspects of the due diligence process on all NMVC company and SSBIC applicants that pass the initial screening. The due diligence and staff review process will result in a "qualified," "not qualified," or "qualified with reservations" recommendation. SBA will perform an independent second level review of all applications receiving a "not qualified" recommendation.
