What You Will Need To Get A Business Loan!Many business owners and entrepreneurs are mistaken about what they need to qualify for a business loan. They often fail to evaluate their financial situation from the lender’s point-of-view. A lender, whether a bank or private investor, is looking for the same qualities in a loan applicant. It is the applicant’s responsibility to convince the funding source that he/she:1) Has the ability to repay the debt, (personal income/business revenue) 2) Is willing and able to repay the debt (good character 3) Has the ability to secure the loan (collateral) in the event of default The Ability To RepayYou must demonstrate your ability to repay the loan with supporting documentation. Most funding sources will require 3 – 6 months worth of business bank statements, most recent income tax returns and profit & loss statements for existing businesses. If your business is new and there is little or no revenue you will need to present a Pro Forma statement of future revenue for at least the next 3 years. Your earning predictions must be realistic and based on sound market research. You will also have to show proof of current income.Willingness To Repay The DebtFunding sources look at your previous repayment history as an indication of your faithfulness to repay them. The credit report is an important tool in giving the lender an understanding of your credit history. Lenders will review your debt-to-income ratio as well as your credit score and payment history.The Ability To Secure The LoanLenders must have assurance that if something unforeseen happens and you can’t repay the loan, the lenders will have a way to get their money back. The loan can be secured by various kinds of collateral (valuable assets that can be redeemed for cash) depending upon the lender and the kind of loan. Some of the most common assets that can be used to secure your business loan are: accounts receivable, government invoices, future revenue, real estate, equipment, vehicles and almost anything of value that is acceptable to the lender. Some lenders may require a life insurance policy taken out on the borrower with the lender as the beneficiary. In any case, the valuable of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the loan amount.What Does This Mean For Your Loan Acquistion?In order for you to be successful in your quest for business money you will need at least one of the three pre-qualifiers listed above. Two are better and all three will almost guarantee funding for your business.Different lenders offering different kinds of financing may place more emphasis on one pre-qualifier over the other two. For example, an unsecured bank term loan looks at the credit score and income-to-debt ratio as the primary qualification. The minimum acceptable credit score is 680. No collateral is required. A working capital provider will look more at the monthly revenue and the ability of the business to make the required daily or weekly payments. On the other hand, a commercial real estate lender may be more lenient on credit score. The value of the subject property, projected income and professional experience of the applicant and his/her management team will be the primary factors on whether or not a loan is approved or denied. SummaryNo one funding solution fits all businesses. No one lender offers every kind of funding solution. You must determine the kind of funding that you need and a lender that offers that kind of financing. Sorting through the many funding options is where a knowledgeable and honest Business Funding Consultant is an invaluable asset in helping you in your business funding quest. There are many other variables and tradeoffs that must be taken into consideration; the loan amount, how quickly you need the funding, how much you are willing to pay (interest) for the use of the money, purpose of the loan and how it will be repaid and many other considerations.It may take longer than you expect to find the business funding that fits your business situation. If you know that your business will need a cash infusion in the 2nd quarter don’t wait until the mid-February to begin your funding search. Allow yourself enough time to evaluate your funding options in order to get a loan that makes the most economic sense for you.
