About Small Business Loans

Transcheck Capital mainly assists with SBA (Small Business Association) loans. Banks that offer SBA loans have document requirements and applications that need to be filled and completed prior to being approved. The process is a multi-tiered evaluation and we are here to help ensure you fit the requirements.

The four things a lender wants to know…

1. The character of the business/borrower. This is determined by credit history and refers to the borrowers repayment habits. This will be analysed through what is stated in the credit score.

2. The credibility of your business. This is where you convince the lender your business will succeed. For this you will need a credible business plan with great financials showing that you will be making a profit to pay back the lender. Again, you will need a fantastic credit rating so that the lender knows you have a track record of fulfilling your financial obligations.

3. The collateral you have to offer. The lenders want some kind of assets you can pledge (non- depreciating). If you don’t have assets you may be required to have a co-signer that has cash to pay against the loan (SBA can serve as your co-signer in these cases in a way). You will also be required to sign a Business Loan Agreement.

4. The capital reflected in your business assets (This is not required for new business loan requests). Have a list of your business assets that can be used as security for the loan. Capital assets are market and fair market value and depreciate over time which is why it is less valuable to a lender then collateral
