Module 2: Getting familiar with the existing finance options 1. Character

• What it is: A lender’s opinion of a borrower’s general trustworthiness, credibility and personality. • Why it matters: Banks want to lend to people who are responsible and keep commitments. • How it’s assessed: From your work experience, credit history, credentials, references, reputation and interaction with lenders. • How to master it: "Character is something you can control and promote” • Develop relationship: Make yourself someone they want to lend to

Module 2: Getting familiar with the existing finance options 2. Capacity/ Cash flow

• What it is: Your ability to repay the loan. • Why it matters: Lenders want to be assured that your business generates enough cash flow to repay the loan in full. • How it’s assessed: From financial metrics and benchmarks (debt and liquidity ratios, cash flow statements), credit score, borrowing and repayment history. • How to master it: Some online lenders may be more open to helping you finance immediate cash flow gaps. If you’re focusing on local banks, pay down debt before you apply. Also, calculate your cash flow to understand your starting point before heading to the bank.

Module 2: Getting familiar with the existing finance options 3. Capital

• What it is: The amount of money invested by the business owner or management team. • Why it matters: Banks are more willing to lend to owners who have invested some of their own money into the venture. It shows you have some “skin in the game.” • How it’s assessed: From the amount of money the borrower or management team has invested in the business. • How to master it: Most of small-business owners use personal savings to start their business. Keep a record that shows your investment in the business. • There are other ways, however, to acquire startup funding if you don’t want to take on all the risk yourself.

Module 2: Getting familiar with the existing finance options 4. Conditions

• What it is: The condition of your business — whether it is growing or faltering — as well as what you’ll use the funds for. It also considers the state of the economy, industry trends and how these factors might affect your ability to repay the loan. • Why it matters: To ensure that loans are repaid, banks want to lend to businesses operating under favourable conditions. They aim to identify risks and protect themselves accordingly. • How it’s assessed: From a review of the competitive landscape, supplier and customer relationships, and macroeconomic and industry-specific issues. • How to master it: You can’t control the economy, but you can plan ahead. Although it might seem counterintuitive, apply for a credit when your business is strong. • "Banks will always be happiest to loan you money when you don’t need it,“ • If conditions worsen, they may reduce the credit line or take it . Build reserves

Module 2: Getting familiar with the existing finance options 5. Collateral

• What it is: Assets that are used to guarantee or secure a loan. • Why it matters: Collateral is a backup source if the borrower cannot repay a loan. • How it’s assessed: From hard assets such as real estate and equipment; working capital, such as accounts receivable and inventory; and a borrower’s home that also can be counted as collateral. • How to master it: Picking the right business structure can help protect your personal assets from being seized by a lender if you’re sued or if a lender is trying to collect. Forming a legal entity helps mitigate that risk.
