Remaining 'Bankable' when Credit is Tight

The Federal Reserve Board has recently reported that almost all funding institutions tightened their lending standards on Commercial & Industrial loans due to a less favorable or more uncertain economic outlook. So what can a business do?

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2007 -- All businesses need a financial reporting system that produces critical, accurate and real-time data of their business operations. Lack of complete, correct, or up-to-date financial reports is a common reason for loans being rejected.

"A discipline and rigor with respect to financial record keeping and controls will be required as part of your business loan package," according to Mike Miller, Director of www.cfo911solutions.com. Financial reports need to be produced on a timely basis for accounts receivable, accounts payable, operating results and borrowing needs just to name a few. Bank accountants and auditors will be sent in to your business to confirm the accuracy of your financial reports prior to funding any loans.

Accurate financial reports and controls are but one piece of the puzzle as credit markets tighten. "Business borrowers will also need to do a better job demonstrating their ability to repay a loan from cash flow generated by their business" according to Marshall Lebovits, principal of www.funding911.com. Preparing a well written executive summary addressing the key questions a banker will ask will provide them greater comfort during their pre-loan review process.
