Below are 10 reasons banks will not lend you money:

1. Unstable cash flow

For some seasonal businesses extreme cash flow highs and lows make fixed loan repayments unpredictable

2. Insufficient security

Banks requirement for collateral to secure the loan is mandatory to satisfy risk management

3. Overload of debt

Banks have lowered their risk debt exposure to small business making it considerably harder to obtain an approval

4. Uncertain credit risk

Banks are reluctant to fund untested or new markets, as they always use industry standards and benchmarks when assessing risk

5. Insufficient trading history

Banks want confidence that the business is managed efficiently and can proof capacity to repay the loans

6. Untested business model

Establishing a viable business model takes time and the banks are not willing to take the risk with you

7. Weakening economy

If current economic conditions are weak the banks factor this in and tighten their credit criteria in the event of foreclosure.

8. High-risk industry

If a bank believes you are operating in a “risky or weak industry” then you are less likely to have your application approved

9. Unclear market growth

Banks are not venture capitalist or innovation risk takers and would not fund an emerging market until supply and demand is proven

10. Poor management

Banks look for a strong and diversified management team to implement business plan to achieve its projected revenue.

What are your options?

Unsecured business loans provide cash flow to a wide variety of small and medium business owners.

These might include sole traders, family enterprises, management buy-outs, acquisitions, partner exits or funding that large project you have just won.
