Commercial Loans:
How To Get Approved In Today's Tough Credit Market!

Commercial loans, and getting approved for them, are getting harder and harder in today's tough economy. Since commercial loans aren't backed by any governmental entity, like Fannie Mae, which guarantees residential mortgages, commercial lenders tend to be very conservative when it comes to taking on risk.

In addition to considering a borrower's personal credit, the business' credit is also weighed. Other factors, like commercial property and other assets, are also looked at to serve as collateral.

Because of the greater risk involved. these loans may also cost a higher interest rate.

Commercial Loans And
Bank Approval Challenges

Most bank commercial loans require an earlier due date that the entire loan balance comes due.

This is called a balloon payment. Borrowers typically pay principal and interest payments at a stated interest rate for the first few years of the loan.

At some point (usually 5 or 10 years), the entire loan balance comes due.

If the borrower doesn't have, or hasn't saved enough money to satisfy the final balloon note, they end up having to refinance the loan.

This also requires that they qualify for this refinance. If they don't qualify and can't get the refinancing, they risk foreclosure of their property.

A borrower can also be turned down for refinancing if the bank deems the borrower is in a "risky" business (think of the high tech, dot-com bubble that burst in the last decade) at the time the balloon payment comes due.

A bank might also decide that its loan portfolio is too heavily weighted, or favoring a particular industry vertical, and turn down future refinancing for that business.

Also, bank commercial loans can take several weeks, or even months to fund.

Besides having to have good to excellent credit, banks usually want to see several years tax returns (3-5 years), profit and loss balance sheets, income statements, articles of incorporation documents, as well as all the owners who will sign off on the loan and their personal financial records.

Even after getting a written or verbal commitment a bank's credit department might still ultimately deny the loan, forcing the borrower to start the credit application process all over again.

Banks can also make additional demands on your business, called covenants. For instance, they might require a business to maintain a certain positive cash flow, or debt to cash flow ratio. If the business falls below this, the loan could default, and the bank demand immediate full repayment.

If the business can't find another funding source quickly enough, they could face foreclosure.

Commercial Loans via Private Lenders

Private lenders are increasingly becoming a more attractive solution when it comes to commercial loans.

Because they aren't regulated by the FDIC, private lenders are able to make underwriting decision based on their own guidelines.

Private lenders generally have less stringent credit requirements than traditional banks. These days, private investor funds can offer interest rates that are competitive with bank rates.

They also don't usually carry the final balloon payment that banks typically demand, but rather offter steady payment schedules over 20-30 years.

Private lender-sourced loans usually close and fund much quicker than bank loans. Instead of the weeks to months that banks can take to fund, private lender loans can close in less than 30 days, or even quicker. They also usually ask for less documentation, which quickly speeds up the loan approval and funding time frame.
