Sec. 120.105  Special consideration for veterans.

    SBA will give special consideration to a small business owned by a 
veteran or, if the veteran chooses not to apply, to a business owned or 
controlled by one of the veteran's dependents. If the veteran is 
deceased or permanently disabled, SBA will give special consideration to 
one survivor or dependent. SBA will process the application of a 
business owned or controlled by a veteran or dependent promptly, resolve 
close questions in the applicant's favor, and pay particular attention 
to maximum loan maturity. For SBA loans, a veteran is a person honorably 
discharged from active military service.
