Seven things bankers look for to approve business financing
- Credit – personal – 600 FICO – it’s a snapshot.
- Time in Business – the longer the time. 1-2 years minimum. 5-10 years – puts you in strong territory for financing.
- Cash Flow – How are you managing the cash in your business – what stays in the bank? If crushing sales, favor the cash flow over credit and time in business.
- Profit – under $250K – if 2020-2021 was lousy because of COVID, can look past it.
- Industry Type – some lenders are better at certain industries than others.
- Use of Funds – Lenders want to understand what you’re planning to do – hopefully to grow business, drive revenue, and profit, moving, new product, more inventory.
- Ability to Repay – even if you get approved for less, use what you get and scale and repay to get more financing down the road.

Business Tax Returns (1120. 1065)
- Front page gives bulk of information
- Other expenses (find correlating statement to make adjustments)
- Looking for amortization – not included in depreciation
- Excessive / one time fees as an add-backs (legal, startup costs, etc.)
- M-1 and M-2 Adjustments
- Looking for cash flow – if see huge cash adjustments, want to account for those (Distributions, meal expenses)
- Year to year comparison
- Loans – detailed income statement anomalies – explain those – not big on categories for tax returns versus income statement (what you do as an owner versus what the accountant does)
- K-1’s
- Looking for distributions
- Percentages of ownership – many don’t know = eligibility of who the real owners are – lenders can have six month look-back period.
Personal Tax Returns

- Wage Income – if ongoing or not
- Sole proprietorship.
- Affiliates – considered in global cash flow
- Regozniging Potential Affiliates

Adequacy of Working Capital – lender must determine and justify this for their audits.

- How much time will pro forma working capital support the business
- How much is available in other lines of credit?
Working Capital Analysis
- Determine cash expenses of the business
- Net sales – net income-depreciation/amortization = cash expenses
- Calculate cash needs of the business
- Cash expenses/365 x cash cycle in days = amount of money you need before you “earn” a dime.
- Cash cycle = AR days + inventory days – AP Days = Cash /cycle Days
- Determine what sources will support the cash needs
- Can’t just be “I’ll tap into 401(k)”
NMet sales – $2.0M
-Net income $50K
-Depreciation $75K
Cash Expenses = $1.875M
Cash cycle days
45 a/r days
+35 inventory days
-30 a/p days
= 50 cash cycle days
$1.875/365 * 50 days (how long it takes to cycle your cash) = $256,849.32
Going to need $256K to start
Calculating cash needs
$1.875/
Calculating Monthly working capital needs of business:
Annual COGS
+ OPex
+ Draw
- Owner’s salary

Typically want 30-45 days of working capital.
