EDR’s LoanCheck® products provide a cost-effective and sensible approach to managing environmental risk on small balance loans. This includes loans backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration that require a Record Search with Risk Assessment or conventional commercial loans that may not require a full-scale Phase I site assessment.
EDR LoanCheck® RSRA is designed to meet the specific underwriting requirements for SBA loans, while LoanCheck® Plus is intended for conventional loans. Both reports offer an easy to understand risk rating (low or elevated) and include an opinion from an environmental professional.

- Used for SBA-backed, small balance, low risk transactions that require an SBA Records Search with Risk Assessment
- Includes: Radius Map Report and 3 historical reports (EDR’s Sanborn Maps, City Directories and Aerial Photos)
- Low or Elevated risk rating
- Report results designated “Elevated Risk,” the Lender must escalate to a Phase I ESA
LoanCheck® Plus
- Used for Conventional, small balance, low risk transactions (non-SBA guaranteed)
- Includes: Radius Map Report and 2 historical reports (EDR’s Sanborn Maps and City Directories)

The primary difference between the two products is the addition of aerial images to LoanCheck RSRA. Aerial images help to meet the SBA’s guidelines related to historical research.
Both LoanCheck® products take advantage of EDR’s Lightbox technology, a tool that enhances the quality of the environmental opinion provider’s review.
