This course explains how Banks look at business loan requests, and what these requests should include and why in order to improve the Chance-to-Yes, meaning, a loan approval.Preparing a good request for financing and being able to discuss it with the Bank is essential to increase the probability of having the loan approved.During the course you will see the parallel between what the request for financing includes, and how banks interpret it from their risk point of view. Many times entrepreneurs not only do not know which information to provide to banks, but also do not understand which information is crucial for banks to make a decision. This course will explain it all.We will also look at what type of loans requests Banks do not usually support and the reasons for that.By getting the request for financing right, convincing Banks to grant the business loan becomes far easier.(The course deals with business loans only, and not personal loans like mortgages, car or other consumer financing)

How to properly structure a Loan Application
13 lectures01:04:16A template with the structure of a Financing Request/Loan ApplicationThere is no such thing as a universal template. What I provide here is an alternative, a guidance to a structured one that in my view provides all the information the banks need.Identification of the BorrowerThe Bank must know from the very beginning to whom it will be lending the funds.Type of Loan requested and explanation of Credit Need There are many types of credit/loans. The Bank must know what type and main characteristics of the loan you are requesting.
Different Types of Security and Related Considerations Security is one of the most important topics when requesting loans and have a direct impact on the credit scoring and risk analysis done by banks. It is important to understand the role security plays and the basic considerations around it, to be able to propose adequate collateral to the bank in the request for financing and then discuss it with bankers.TrackRecord/Experience/Industry PositionBanks will look at how experienced your business is and what history of activity you have behind.Management of The Borrower Who owns and who manages the Borrower is a crucial information for BanksHistorical Financial StatementsIt is crucial to present a full set of financial statements when requesting a business loan. Banks need to know about the company's financial performance and they make many conclusions from them about risks incurred with a certain Borrower.Business Plan/ProjectionsBanks also need to know about projected/estimated results, particularly when you are requesting a loan above 12 months.Industry/Market Analysis Banks have certain knowledge and opinion about the several industries/sectors of activity. The views of the entrepreneur himself on the industry he belongs too may help the banks to understand the real risks being taken.Other RisksWe discuss the importance of assessment of Other risks not covered before: technology risks, country risk, foreign exchange risk, and others.SWOT Analysis SWOT, standing for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats is an optional analysis that Entrepreneurs may include in their documentation supporting the Loan Application. Typically, for loans of higher amounts or complicated structures, the SWOT provides a good summary to he credit analysts at the Banks and may simplify somewhat their "reading" of the application.Required Format and Documents to attach to the Request for Financing Some documents are standard for the Banks as attachments to requests for financing. In general however, do not fall for "form over substance".Credit Ratings are Credit Scoring
Credit ratings and credit scoring are measures of risk associated with a Borrower and a loan attributed by banks. All information received is analysed and included in the banks' systems. These then generate a code that "quantifies" the risk incurred.
