There are numerous types of SBA loans available and many of them are designed to be quite useful and helpful however deciding upon exactly what you need and how to get it is sometimes. While there are numerous programs that are designed to work for small business owners it is very important to ensure that you know what you need to have in order to really improve your businesses chance of securing a SBA loan.

First, you must be turned down for a loan from a private financial institution in order to be eligible to apply for a SBA loan. Once you have a formal denial from a private lender you are able to apply with the SBA for a loan.

Second, you need to have a well written business plan. This does not mean you simply toss together a few pages of material. You need to ensure that you have information in the business plan about the purpose of the business, the business structure, how long it has been in operation, and any information that is relevant to the type of business you have.

Third, you need to have some financial information for both the business and all people who own at least a 20% share of the business. You need tax statements for at least the last 3 years for the business, and you also need to include P&L statements for the next two years based on realistic sales from the previous 3 years. For personal financial records, you need to include tax returns and any other relevant financial documents.

Fourth, you need to include information about why you are requesting the loan, how much you need the loan to be for, proposed repayment information and information on what will be used as collateral for the loan. This is very important and needs to be kept in line with figures that are realistic to be paid back based on the current performance of the business.

For those of us in the loan modification business, lower interest rates greatly impact our business in a positive way. In this article I am going to explain how lower rates help our chances of success in the loan modification business.

So what do lower interest rates mean in the loan business? When rates drop significantly those of in the loan business call this a “refi boom”.

Is there such a thing as a “loan modification boom”? Well, I think there is. When lenders agree to modify hurting borrowers into a new loan, often the lender will offer the borrower a 30 year fixed rate loan at current market rates (regardless of the borrower’s credit scores, etc.). So when current interest rates go down, the modified 30 year rate offered will also go down.

So what does this mean? In a refinance boom, more borrowers will qualify based on the lower payments being offered at a lower rate.

So similarly in a loan modification boom, lower rates will also allow more borrowers to qualify for a loan modification.

Consider IndyMac Federal’s loan modification guidelines in which a 38% debt to income ratio (DTI) is used as a target for affordability. This 38% DTI ratio looks at the borrower’s current principal, interest, taxes and insurance payment and compares that to monthly income . With lower rates and lower payments, more of our customers who are facing hardships will qualify for a loan modification.

Recall that the FDIC took over IndyMac Bank earlier this year and IndyMac Bank made a lot of loans that are now in default or close to going into default. IndyMac Federal (the new name the Bank is now operating under FDIC control) is contacting its customers and is offering 30 year fixed rate mortgages permanently capped at the current Freddie Mac survey rate for conforming mortgages). This Freddie Mac Survey rate moves with the market so when interest rates go down so does this Freddie Mac Survey Rate.

So when you are marketing your services to potential loan modification clients, let them know that rates have dropped and their chances of a successful loan modification are going up if they act now.

The lenders will go through the report for assessing the risks and for setting the terms and conditions of the loan. In case, your credit rating is currently lower than acceptable levels of 600, then pay off some old loans for improving the rating before applying for the loan.

Business start up loans can provide finance in secured or unsecured options for variety of purpose like buying machinery or equipments, raw material, paying the salaried of employees, purchasing office furniture etc. the secured loan can provide big amount of finance, depending on a percentage of value of the property that the borrower has to pledge for collateral.
