Accurate SBA Reports, Ready When You Need Them

When you’re managing a loan timeline, every detail matters. AMP provides valuation reports that are clear, supported, and fully aligned with the SBA’s latest guidelines.

We understand what lenders need from a valuation: compliance, consistency, and delivery that fits your workflow.

Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA)

All AMP reports are prepared by a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) through NACVA. This credential meets the SBA’s requirements and ensures that our reports stand up to lender, underwriter, and SBA review.

Why SBA Lenders
Trust AMP

Unmatched Quality

AMP valuations are prepared by a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) through NACVA (a qualified source per the SBA) and fully aligned with SBA guidelines. Reports are customized, defensible, clearly written, and supported by research, market comps, expert judgment, and valuation theory. When lending on cash flow, the details matter.

We know the pace of SBA lending. Our team responds quickly, communicates clearly, and works with your preferred systems without unnecessary steps or delays.

Our turnaround times are reliable, tracked, and taken seriously. From kickoff to delivery, we prioritize transparency and consistency at every stage.

Lenders across the country rely on AMP for reports that make sense to credit committees, underwriters, and clients. We’re proud to be a go-to partner for reliable, frictionless valuations.

SOP 50 57 4, Effective Nov 1 – Critical Updates SBA Lenders Should Know

New SBA guidance under SBA SOP 50 57 4, effective November 1, 2025, mandates lenders to assess the operational value of businesses in liquidation, not just collateral. This shift emphasizes obtaining independent valuations for ongoing businesses, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of recovery options and improving recovery strategies over immediate asset liquidation.
