The Leverage You May be Overlooking in Your Search for Commercial Financing
In turbulent times like these, even strong, stable businesses can experience credit challenges that make it harder for them to get the equipment they need. As lenders tighten their belts, restrict lending to some types of businesses, and reduce the range of acceptable credit ratings, reasonable lending options can be difficult to find.
In the world of commercial lending, there are options available if your company is being hindered by its credit rating.
1/Storied Lending
Storied lending works on the assumption that the strength and creditworthiness of a business does not rest solely on its official credit rating. It takes into consideration your “story” and allows you to explain what caused the credit issues. Perhaps there has been a past bankruptcy or tax lien. Many issues are beyond a business owner’s control, like a global pandemic for example! How you plan to use the financing to move your business forward also carries weight with the lender as they make their decision.
2/Collateral Based Financing
Traditional lenders base their underwriting primarily on credit ratings. Collateral based lending decisions are determined by the equity in your business—specifically the cash and collateral your business owns.
That collateral can take many forms:
- Real Estate
- Equipment, Tools, and Machinery
- Vehicles
- Cash
- Letter of Credit
- Certificates of Deposit
