Our approach
Recommended services
The SBA RSRA is the minimum report, with the Environmental Questionnaire, on loans over $250,000 with no Appendix 6 NAICS match, and on smaller loans when the Questionnaire shows further investigation is warranted. An Environmental Professional reviews government and historical records and rates the property low, elevated or high risk, in 2 business days.
ASTM E1528-22 Transaction Screen with a questionnaire, a site visit supervised by an Environmental Professional, a records review with the records attached, and a written conclusion on further investigation. The SBA minimum when the current owner or operator will not sign the Environmental Questionnaire.
Lender-ready Phase I in 5 business days for $1,495 flat, nationwide. Signed by an Environmental Professional who meets 40 CFR 312.10. SBA reliance letter included.
XRF lead-based paint inspections, lead risk assessments and lead-in-water testing by EPA- or state-certified professionals. On SBA loans, child-occupied facilities built before 1978, such as daycares, need the risk assessment and the water testing.
Prices apply to standard-scope properties. See prices, rush terms and standard scope.
We check the NAICS codes for the property’s current and known prior uses against Appendix 6 at order, apply the $250,000 threshold and the Environmental Questionnaire rules, and flag gas stations, dry cleaners and child-occupied facilities. If an RSRA comes back anything other than low risk, the full fee is credited toward a Phase I on the same property ordered within 30 days.

Your questions

Yes. Every Transaction Screen, Phase I and Phase I update comes with the Appendix 5 letter, unmodified and at no charge, addressed to your institution and the SBA. On a 504 loan the letter names the CDC; the first-mortgage lender can be added as a reliance party for $99, with its letter issued within 1 business day of a complete request. An RSRA needs no reliance letter under SOP 50 10 8.1.
Yes. The borrower can order and pay as our client. The Appendix 5 letter is addressed to your institution and the SBA, and it authorizes both to use and rely on the report. At order, give us your institution’s legal name and address, say whether the loan is 7(a) or 504, and list any other party that will rely on the report.
Add an EDR, ERIS or Environsite commercial radius report for $200 and we attach it to the report appendix. Our own regulatory search covers the records and search distances in ASTM E1527-21 and 40 CFR 312.26; the add-on is for credit policies that name an approved data vendor.
Scope, price and delivery date confirmed before you authorize. No payment online.
