When you are applying to a broker or direct to a lender for a business loan or a commercial mortgage, the lender will need to satisfy themselves that firstly, their investment is safe and secondly, that your business will be in a position to realistically bear the cost of the monthly finance repayments which is an entirely responsible approach.
Having completed your application, the lender will run a simple credit check on the business and will be able to judge from your latest set of accounts (if they are available) the current financial position of the organisation.
They will work out your current LTV (loan to value) and the expected LTV including the loan amount you are applying for. This will mean calculating the total amount of outstanding credit of the business and dividing that figure by the value of the assets of the business. This figure rarely, if ever, exceeds 85% for most commercial lenders in the UK although each will have their own limits that they are prepared to lend to.The lender will then look at the business's credit rating, analysing in depth, the credit repayment history. They will be specifically looking for adverse which can be made up of things like:
- Late or missed commercial mortgage payments
- Defaults on any credit or loans
- CCJ's involving credit or loans
The level of adverse will help the broker or lender to build a picture of the likely risks they may face in lending the money to your organisation. A poor credit history suggests that the lender may face higher risks and as a result, may offer a reduced loan amount and/or a higher APR. This is why it can be to your significant advantage if you keep your credit rating as clean as possible. It makes acquiring finance and also the costs of that finance, much cheaper in the long run.
To support your professional business loan or commercial mortgage application, you may be required to provide any or all of the following:
- Financial projections
- A business plan
- An executive summary which may include - loan type (secured or unsecured lending), amount required, loan purpose and perhaps any profits that you could expect to make as a result of taking out the loan.
- Company incorporation certificate - in the event that your organisation is either a Public or Private Limited Company
- Bank account information
- Credit References
- Latest accounts
- Personal ID
The initial enquiry for a business loan or commercial mortgage is often a very simple affair. There are many online brokers who may be able to help. Complete the enquiry form and you should get a response, often within a few minutes. Subject to your providing all of the necessary documentation required by the chosen lender it may be possible to complete the application and have the funds available within a couple of weeks which means that your business could be benefiting almost straight away.
Always be realistic in setting your business and financial goals however and always be honest with your broker and lender. The information that they require helps them to help your business aside from the fact that you will be entering into a legally binding agreement.

Want To See Me
Did you know many people believe that making wealth is influenced by one's think habit , to a great extent. In order to get a better understanding of what I am talking about here, refer to books like "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill or "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen. These books reflect the fact that you can become what you want to and what you think.Even the book called "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne gained huge popularity as it is based on the common belief that money comes to those people who actually want it.
Now,you might think that everyone wants to be wealthy. But hold on there, it is not enough to just sit and dreaming to be wealthy. It will not come automatically.
Achieving wealth is not by any means easy. The base of becoming wealthy starts with the mind. Let me give you an example, if you want to become an employee of an organization , it is obvious that you will start to look for a job and you will content working under somebody. But this is not the case with everyone. There are many( including me) who want monetary freedom and set your mind accordingly, you will see plenty of opportunities knocking at your door. All you have to do is focus and take your pick and march your way towards the path of wealth.
Below, I have attempted to suggest you some ways that will help you set your mind the right way towards financial goal:
1.The way you think:
When you see some really expensive item and you want to own it, but something stops you. What do you think then? Do you focus on your present pecuniary situation and "I can't possibly afford" or are you the ever optimist and try to figure out a solution , thinking "Can I own...?"
2. Learn while you earn
There's really no big harm being an employee but do you really want to remain as one lifelong? True, that an employee has a guaranteed salary but it's limited. However, in order to raise your income as a employee, you will have to increase your input as well.
So, it's best that while you are an employee , try to master the tricks of doing business such that later in life you can become an employer yourself.
As you work on your job, learn the business in order that you may later become the employer. Chalk out a plan in such a way that a few years down the line, you can free your self from your employer's mercy and start shaping your own future.
3. Set an achievable goal
Have an objective to work. With your goal in place, you will soon discover different ways to achieve it. The inspirational gurus tell us that if we foresee our goal being achieved and are really passionate about it , then we are sure going to achieve the goal.
4. Chalk out your budget
In order to be successful, it is imperative to chalk out a budget and stick to it. The sources of the funds to be tracked and the entire cash flow in the business should be monitored.
If you ignore the importance making and sticking to a budget, you are making a grave mistake. This might even lead you to debts. So beware!
5. Control your fear.
There are so many people who are too scared to start a business. The fear is losing money in case the business doesn't take off. However, people don't often realize what will happen to them if the company they are working for at present collapses? You will be offered a pink slip in no time. So, don't let negative thoughts dominate you. Be positive, be realistic, make a business plan, chalk out your budget and take the plunge. Remember, no risk, no gain.
