Estimated Scope and Time Burden
The SBA estimates the revised Form 1919 will have 103,817 total annual responses and a total estimated annual hour burden of 32,850 hours. These numbers show how many small business 7(a) applicants could be affected and the aggregate time needed each year to complete the form.
SBA Loan Form Adds Owner Details
If you apply for an SBA 7(a) loan using Form 1919, the SBA plans to require more owner information, including each owner's date of birth (or date of formation for entity owners), citizenship status, entity type for entity owners, and a spouse's legal name if the spouse is also a direct or indirect owner. The changes also add new certifications and revise questions and instructions to conform with Executive Order 14159 issued January 20, 2025. You can comment on these proposed changes through April 24, 2026.
