SBA Form 1919 is the Borrower Information Form for all 7(a) loan programs. The small business completes it and gives it to its SBA lender. SBA's page says it collects information on the applicant, its owners, the loan request, existing debt and previous government financing.

## Who fills it out

- The authorized representative of the applicant signs it.
- Each co-borrower needs its own form, including an Eligible Passive Company and its Operating Company.
- The purpose amounts across all forms should equal the total loan request (Appendix 20, Para. A.1.a).

## What it asks

- Business details, NAICS code and number of employees.
- Owners of at least 20%, including the people behind owning entities.
- Jobs saved and created.
- How the loan proceeds will be used.
- Thirteen yes-or-no questions on background, conflicts and other businesses.
- Certifications about taxes, compliance and truthful information.

Demographic details are optional and have no bearing on the decision.

## What the lender does with it

The lender keeps the signed form and enters its information in the SBA Loan System (Appendix 20, Para. A.1.a).

## Version notes

The current version is dated 02/2025 and shows an expiration date of June 30, 2027. SBA says it is updating the form after its 2026 citizenship change. Until then, lenders must attach added certifications for you to sign (Procedural Notice 5000-876626; Information Notice 5000-880695).
