Oh no, no. Yes, yes, I am not going to go there... at least not today. There is no shortage of excuses and reasons why small businesses cannot obtain approval for commercial loans. When the national economy is in recession or major political competition is threatened, the report on this topic will never surprise me. Yes, I agree that the growth and success of small businesses is the backbone of the US economy, and more than 60% of the US workforce is employed by small businesses. However, when I stepped down, the team believed that there was a lack of financing for small businesses with commercial loans. In this article, let's explore from
The real reason from
Small businesses are not eligible for loans, and the facts may even surprise you.
It is deeper than statistics
I like numbers even better, I like to read financial statements and notes. Before I began to understand the financial statements about the story of the company, the love of numbers did not become my passion for small business loans. Similar to the story behind the financial statements, there is a story behind the statistics that small business owners cannot get loan approvals, especially if they belong to a race, gender and/or industry. I have not completely eliminated the existence of a trace of discrimination in the real world... Hey, we live in a broken society and people are broken. However, a large part of this idea [small business owners unable to obtain loans due to skin color, gender, etc.] is simply not true. In the world of small business loans, I have been standing on both sides of the fence. I worked at a big bank, and I work for a non-profit community development financial institution, and it's always the same. The primary reason why small businesses can't [and don't] get loan approvals is quite a big reason from
Business risk from
Exist in these businesses.
Business risk: everything starts with you
What does business risk mean? Well, this is a question that brings some clarity. What better describes sustainable development: a business that has been in operation for at least a year or a company that still belongs to the owner? I will choose the first option. Operating risk means that you own and continue to execute your business plan, and the cash flow of the business is positive [ie returning a sustainable profit margin to pay for the cost and make money for you]. This is a sad fact: not many small businesses can achieve this. In most cases, if any, efforts are still being made to resolve the problem within two years. Ok, being granted, especially when you observe the diversity of your business, there is a certain level. However, I am talking to people who are trying to get a commercial loan.
Finally, I offer several ways to minimize your operational risk and increase your chances of getting loan approvals. [1] Growing up tough skin and learning to survive. Commercial games are one of the survivals. Most of the time, things don't go with the flow, you just have to stick to the end, adapt to change, and stick to the business mission. [2] Never forget 3 P - production, processes and people. Efficiently produce the sales you create, create and implement processes to increase productivity and ultimately the customer experience, and finally hire, train and invest in people who share your business vision.
