Commercial loans
A commercial file is usually assessed as a risk story supported by financial evidence. Clear documentation and consistent numbers reduce assessment friction.
Typical assessment themes
Commercial lending often focuses on cash flow support, repayment capacity, security acceptability, and the sustainability of the underlying business position. Lenders may request financial statements, BAS, bank statements, asset schedules, and clear explanation of purpose and structure.
Where projections are used, they should be realistic and consistent with actual trading evidence. Where security is involved, the quality of the asset details and the valuation process can influence timelines.
Frequently asked questions
What documents usually matter most?
Typically: recent financial statements and/or BAS, business bank statements, an up‑to‑date liabilities schedule, and clear purpose/structure notes. The exact mix varies by lender and facility type.
Why are conditions and covenants important?
Commercial facilities may include reporting conditions (for example, financial updates) and covenants that reflect how the lender monitors risk. Understanding those conditions early can prevent surprises later.
Can you guarantee approval?
No. Credit is assessed by lenders. We can improve preparation quality, keep numbers consistent, and reduce avoidable back‑and‑forth.
