A Few Choice Words About Small Business Financing

stockauthor — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:50:31 +0000

Our concise descriptions are in no way meant to characterize small business financing and working capital management as either simple or straightforward. This report was designed to produce a concise overview of several complex small business financing and working capital financing issues by describing these difficulties in six words. In the face of the prevailing commercial lending complexity, we feel that it is critical for each small business owner to have an absolute and total understanding of the entire commercial finance process.
“Business financing will require aggressive action” is our first six-word observation in this article. Extreme measures such as firing their banker and finding alternative commercial funding sources for small business loans will need to be anticipated by small business owners in many cases. Nobody should expect that bankers will publicly announce that they are in any kind of financial trouble after recalling that they have not been sufficiently candid about commercial lending problems in the past. In a contrary viewpoint, banks seemingly maintain that they are lending normally to small businesses. Commercial borrowers will need a healthy amount of skepticism when dealing with any commercial lender.
“Most commercial property values have dropped” is our second observation in this report. There are very few exceptions to this disturbing trend. The biggest business financing impact will probably be produced by commercial refinancing situations. Even if a business owner has no interest in refinancing their commercial mortgage, many banks are aggressively recalling (revoking or rescinding) existing commercial real estate loans and this literally forces a borrower to seek business refinancing from another lender whether they want it or not. Business refinancing will be a challenge for most small businesses in light of widely decreasing commercial real estate values.

It is important for small businesses to realize that they are not alone when they hear their bank say no to routine requests for commercial financing, and our third example of six words describing business financing options is “bank commercial loans have limited availability”. For any borrower who might doubt this observation or be unaware of this harsh reality, candid conversations with other business borrowers will help to remove any doubts. The primary point that business owners should examine more closely is the failure of banks to provide an adequate level of small business loans on a widespread basis.

“Business lines of credit are disappearing” is our final six-word description of commercial financing. This situation is especially serious if a business cannot replace bank financing when it suddenly disappears because even the most successful business needs a reliable source of working capital financing. On a widespread basis banks are reducing and eliminating business credit lines with almost no advance notice, and this must be realized even if a business still has an adequate line of credit.
