| do business loans look at personal credit: Fintech, Small Business & the American Dream Karen G. Mills, 2019-03-12 Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy. They are the biggest job creators and offer a path to the American Dream. But for many, it is difficult to get the capital they need to operate and succeed. In the Great Recession, access to capital for small businesses froze, and in the aftermath, many community banks shuttered their doors and other lenders that had weathered the storm turned to more profitable avenues. For years after the financial crisis, the outlook for many small businesses was bleak. But then a new dawn of financial technology, or “fintech,” emerged. Beginning in 2010, new fintech entrepreneurs recognized the gaps in the small business lending market and revolutionized the customer experience for small business owners. Instead of Xeroxing a pile of paperwork and waiting weeks for an answer, small businesses filled out applications online and heard back within hours, sometimes even minutes. Banks scrambled to catch up. Technology companies like Amazon, PayPal, and Square entered the market, and new possibilities for even more transformative products and services began to appear. In Fintech, Small Business & the American Dream, former U.S. Small Business Administrator and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School, Karen G. Mills, focuses on the needs of small businesses for capital and how technology will transform the small business lending market. This is a market that has been plagued by frictions: it is hard for a lender to figure out which small businesses are creditworthy, and borrowers often don’t know how much money or what kind of loan they need. New streams of data have the power to illuminate the opaque nature of a small business’s finances, making it easier for them to weather bumpy cash flows and providing more transparency to potential lenders. Mills charts how fintech has changed and will continue to change small business lending, and how financial innovation and wise regulation can restore a path to the American Dream. An ambitious book grappling with the broad significance of small business to the economy, the historical role of credit markets, the dynamics of innovation cycles, and the policy implications for regulation, Fintech, Small Business & the American Dream is relevant to bankers, fintech investors, and regulators; in fact, to anyone who is interested in the future of small business in America. |

| do business loans look at personal credit: Business Loans Are Easy. . .If You Know the Secrets Alan Jewells, 2012-05-31 Introduction It has been my experience that in almost every walk of life, there are, for want of a better word SECRETS. There are secrets to business, secrets to health, secrets to developing real estate, secrets to wine making you name it. The purpose of this book is to share with you the secrets and tricks of the trade that I have learned regarding small business loans. These tricks are not grand illusions or mysteries. They are not difficult to understand. They are, like almost all secrets, simple formulas, procedure and principles that if followed, will elevate your success. Business owners have a quality about them which is unlike other individuals, whom do not aspire to own a business. In working with entrepreneurs for over two decades, I have found they literally have a sense of magic about them. The ability to win success, lose it, and win it again; the ability to have vision and see beyond others in an industry; and the ability to focus with intention and purpose unlike spouses, friends, or associates that may be around them. Thus, the purpose of this book is to help business owners make their magic happen. They are the soul of the economy. I have been in banking and lending for 23 years. The bulk of my career has been working with small business owners who are seeking commercial credit. During this time, I have realized that I have spent the majority of my time answering questions about the start-to-finish process of business loans. It doesnt matter if I am talking to a client, real estate agent, business broker, mortgage loan broker, etc. Always, the majority of the conversation is focused on the details and how to succeed in the process. The purpose of this book is to answer 90% of these questions. Neither this, nor any book, will be able to give 100% of the answers. The commercial lending industry is always changing and in many ways is subjective in how items are considered for a loan. But, I promise that this book will provide you a solid foundation to move forward in the loan process. This book is an attempt to make the process easy to understand, and at the same time provide a sufficient guide to walk you through every step. It is being written in plain English, like I was sitting across the table from you. I am intentionally trying to avoid terms which only bankers will understand, and I am intentionally not going into details which you will not need to be concerned with. I am also writing this book in a brief version that could be read in a weekend. I know your time is money, and I dont want to waste it. This book is not written, however, as a guide for larger loan transaction (those over $10 million). The focus of this book is to aid small business owners and the professionals that serve them. Also, it is intended to be an aid, but not a Band-Aid. In other words, dont try to use this book to cover up problems or deceive lenders. Deception or fraud to lenders is the worst thing you can do. It will waste everyones time, and could place you in a position which you will regret later. The best thing to do is always be of full disclosure. Find the right loan program, find the right lender, complete the paperwork, and move on to success. It can be as easy as 1, 2, 3 Lending is an art, and this is my interpretation. Borrowers are encouraged to look at all options and available sources. In my quest to be a productive member of the lending and business community, I am genuinely hopeful that this book will be beneficial for you, with these intentions in mind. The greatest moments of my career are when I witness clients succeeding in their business. Be focused. Be successful. |

The speculator needs to guarantee that it pays close to a reasonable incentive to buy the venture and that the monetary benefit for its proprietors is augmented. The part talks about monetary assessment with regards to venture choices with an emphasis on speculation valuation and organizing and assessment procedures. Capital gave to an organization, and any value produced inside, should just be put resources into resources if esteem is made for investors—that is, the point at which the estimation of financial advantages emerging from the advantages surpasses the cost of procuring those advantages. |

After finishing Approved, you will be able to highlight strengths (and mitigate weaknesses) from a lender’s perspective, provide a simple business plan identifying how the business will be profitable for the long term, and accurately prepare a business loan application that can be immediately submitted through underwriting—unlike most business applications. |

| do business loans look at personal credit: The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Marcus Powell, 2013 The SSBCI provides funding to states, territories, and eligible municipalities to expand existing or to create new state small business investment programs, including state capital access programs, collateral support programs, loan participation programs, loan guarantee programs, and venture capital programs. This book examines the SSBCI and its implementation, including Treasury's response to initial program audits conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and Treasury's Office of Inspector General. These audits suggested that SSBCI participants were generally complying with the statute's requirements, but that some compliance problems existed, in that, the Treasury's oversight of the program could be improved; and performance measures were needed to assess the program's efficacy. |

| do business loans look at personal credit: No Buddy Left Behind Terri Crisp, C. J. Hurn, 2012-11-06 No Buddy Left Behind unveils the life-altering relationships American troops serving in the Middle East have shared with the stray dogs and cats they've rescued from the brutalities of war. Overcoming monumental obstacles, Operation Baghdad Pups' program manager Terri Crisp makes it her mission to save these wartime “buddies,” get them out of danger, and bring them home to the soldiers who love them. How exactly does someone get animals out of a country at war when normal resources are lacking and every step of a plan to transport animals could get you arrested, kidnapped, or blown apart? As Crisp soon learns, each rescue mission from first to last is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants experience, and no animal is truly safe until its paws touch U.S. soil. Terri and her team have saved the lives of 223 dogs and forty-two cats befriended by military personnel since February 2008—and No Buddy Left Behind finally tells this story. |
