If we have a consumer loan in default (a single borrower) and we cannot reach the borrower, but she has a BUSINESS account (just in her name) with money in it, can we get to that money?

What do you mean by "business account? Jane Doe DBA Jane's Flowers?? The answer would be yes. Jane Doe Inc., the answer would be no.

Can you please provide me to the cite in the Florida UCC dedicated to the right of offset. We have a business loan customer who may default & he & his wife both personally guarantee the loan. We are looking at whether we can offset both the business DDA & their personal DDA. They both sign on both accounts.

Thanks

The right of offset is not usually codified. I would call your attorney. If the loan is guaranteed, you may have to make demand prior to exercising your right of offset. Your guarantee contract may also address this issue.
