Seller numbers, bank statements, tax returns, and the lease are tested; add-backs are checked against bank payees; owner compensation is priced at a replacement rate; related-party rent is set to market. Delivered in five business days. For loan numbers issued on or after October 1, 2026, SBA SOP 50 10 8.1 requires a Quality of Earnings on 7(a) acquisitions of $3 million or more; Workup provides it to lenders, borrower-paid, with the founder as reviewer of record. getworkup.ai</description></oembed>
