Business Financing Challenges - Commercial Loan Solutions

It is not unusual to find that business lenders and business loan brokers are not as forward-looking about commercial financing difficulties as most borrowers would expect, and I have published another article about commercial lenders to bypass. The focus here is on some of the typical commercial loan difficulties often overlooked by commercial lenders and borrowers.

Unexpected business financing possibilities can result in severe complications with a business loan, and business borrowers should be prepared for these commercial financing circumstances. There are many potential business loan obstacles to be evaded with commercial financing. Business financing problems with a typical commercial loan are more numerous and serious than most business borrowers would think.

A few of these business financing problems will be unavoidable, but in most cases these commercial loan challenges can be met successfully. Business borrowers and their advisors will be better prepared to take appropriate and timely corrective action by properly anticipating these recurring commercial financing difficulties.

(1) Difficult Business Financing Situation Number 1: Sourcing/seasoning assets and seasoning of ownership. This particular commercial loan problem will not be relevant to all business borrowers. However, if it is relevant, commercial borrowers should seek out a lender without sourcing and seasoning requirements or limitations.

For a purchase, some commercial lenders will want documentation about where the down payment is coming from (sourcing). Many commercial lenders will also require business borrowers to document commercial loan down payment funds over several months (seasoning). Seasoning of ownership involves the minimum time someone has owned a commercial property before they can refinance.

(2) Avoidable Commercial Mortgage Scenario Number 2: A borrower wants to use subordinated debt (a seller second or other secondary financing) in order to acquire a commercial property with a smaller down payment.

Commercial mortgage lenders will often not permit subordinated debt. With a business loan from more flexible lenders, a business borrower will not encounter restrictions on the use of subordinate financing and will decrease the down payment required.

(3) Difficult Business Financing Situation Number 3: A commercial loan that won't work without long-term financing. What is long-term financing for a commercial loan? Some commercial lenders view 3-5 years as the longest period before business financing will be subject to a balloon payment.

For those of you who feel that is a short-term business loan, you should restrict your options to commercial lenders that routinely offer a period of 30 years for a commercial loan. Long-term business financing will help facilitate a profitable commercial property investment because monthly commercial mortgage payments will be reduced, monthly cash flow will improve and new commercial financing will not be an issue for many years.

(4) Avoidable Commercial Mortgage Scenario Number 4: Business loan recall provisions. Commercial loan recall covenants mean that the business lender can force the borrower to repay early by calling the loan before it would normally expire. This potential concern is not applicable to all borrowers since some business financing agreements will not allow a loan recall possibility.

Traditional lenders frequently put recall clauses in their business financing provisions. The conditions which can trigger recalls differ and include regular evaluation of credit history and financials by the commercial lender. If required levels of credit standards and income cannot be confirmed, the lender will enforce the recall provisions by requiring an early and immediate payoff of the business loan.

Contingency Plans for a Commercial Loan Recall: When confronted with a commercial mortgage recall notification, borrowers will have little recourse other than to seek refinancing. When considering alternative sources of business financing, prudent borrowers will eliminate potential lenders that impose similar recall provisions in new financing.

Borrowers would be wise to exclude business loans with recall terms so that they will not be confronted with an unanticipated recall situation. If business borrowers have recall conditions in their current commercial mortgage, it will be equally wise to actively pursue commercial loan refinancing before a recall is initiated by the lender so that refinancing involves a timetable convenient to the borrower.
