Are you exhausted from constantly adapting your systems and operations to new lending regulations? You’re not alone.
Recently, Kansas and Connecticut have implemented new state commercial finance disclosure laws, adding yet another layer of regulatory requirements for lenders.

With new rules emerging faster than lenders can adapt, it often feels like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

The Challenge of State-Specific Compliance
State-specific lending requirements create a challenging environment for lenders with each state having its own set of laws governing licensing, usury, and consumer protection.

Preparing for the impact of 1071
The importance of the 1071 rule, which mandates the collection and reporting of data on small business loans, cannot be overstated. As this regulation looms on the horizon, lenders must prepare for operational shifts now. The data collection, analysis, and reporting requirements under 1071 are set to be as impactful, if not more so, than the recent state-specific disclosure laws. Aurora’s systems are engineered not just to comply with these requirements but to turn this regulatory burden into a strategic advantage.
1071 will redefine the landscape of small business lending. Compliance will require lenders to gather detailed demographic and financial information, including race, ethnicity, and gender of business owners. Aurora offers a comprehensive solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, ensuring that your organization is not just meeting the minimum requirements but is positioned to leverage this data for strategic decision-making and market positioning.
With new state commercial finance disclosure laws and the impending 1071 requirements coming into effect, staying compliant is more challenging than ever. Aurora ensures you’re always up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements, allowing you to adapt quickly to new regulatory changes.
With Aurora, you can transform regulatory compliance from a burden into a strategic asset. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of 1071 or the intricacies of state-specific disclosure laws, streamlined operations, reduced risk of non-compliance, and enhanced data security all contribute to a stronger, more competitive position in the market.
