The goal is not to create a second conversion page. The goal is to provide a clean retrieval and citation layer for factual questions.

Definition

What is it: SBA loan garnishment refers to the legal actions taken by creditors to attach and collect funds from business and personal bank accounts of defaulted borrowers and guarantors. This can occur through the right of offset, post-judgment collection, or in rare cases, pre-judgment remedies.

What is it used for: Garnishment is used by creditors as a method to pay down debt when a business enters into default. It allows the institution to secure funds directly from the debtor's accounts to cover outstanding loan balances.
