The Draft Authorization is a living document and a specific contract between your lender and the SBA. It's a written agreement providing the terms and conditions under which SBA will guarantee your business loan, and will outline the specific conditions which must be met to keep the SBA guaranty.
Loan authorization occurs when a lending institution completes its “due diligence” (comprehensive appraisal of the business) and approves the terms it will offer a borrower. As part of the loan authorization, the lender will confirm: The principal amount to be borrowed, loan type and terms of repayment.
If there is a transfer of ownership, the addition or deletion of a guarantor to the loan requires approval. While the Cares Act EIDLs do not require a personal guaranty for loans under $200,000.00, the SBA still nevertheless requires its approval of the transfer.

Form 2848, Power of Attorney: A power of attorney is given when the taxpayer authorizes someone in writing to receive their confidential tax information from the IRS and perform certain actions on their behalf in front of the IRS. Some examples include representing the taxpayer at a meeting with the IRS, and preparing and filing a written response to an IRS inquiry. If the authorization is unlimited, the representative can generally perform all acts a taxpayer would perform, except negotiating a check. The authorized individual must be eligible to practice before the IRS.

The NNA's article states that the NSA's are to "confirm that the POA applies" - has nothing to do with the authenticity. They're saying it's up to NSA's to confirm that the attorney-in-fact has the authority under the POA to sign the loan docs and I feel that's outside the realm of the NSA.
It is absolutely the Notary's duty to check for the existence of the Power of Attorney then review it's authenticity before allowing the Attorney in Fact to sign for the principal. If the lender already possesses the POA there should be written proof in the lenders instructions.
On October 2, 2020, the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a long awaited Procedural Notice providing guidance with respect to a change of ownership of businesses that borrowed Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. PPP loans were made commencing in early April, and since then we have witnessed first-hand the frustration experienced by business owners having to deal with the uncertainty of the treatment of PPP loans in the context of a change of ownership (often compounded by the inability of PPP lenders to accept forgiveness applications). The new guidance provides sellers with some certainty with regard to the procedures for selling a business that has borrowed a PPP loan.

In addition, if the new owner uses PPP funds for unauthorized purposes, SBA will have recourse against the owner for the unauthorized use.
