A.
The Small Business Administration's (SBA) claim in a bankruptcy case is just as dischargeable as other business debts. The issue is whether, or to what extent, is the loan secured by your assets.
Many SBA loans are secured by the assets of the business and, often, by the home of the borrower.
Bankruptcy does not eliminate liens voluntarily granted on the debtor's assets. Any part of the loan balance that exceeds the value of the collateral can be discharged.
