Why Do Accountants Need to Understand
the Lender Landscape?

Over 250,000 small businesses are expected to take online or
alternative loans this year
The cost of financing varies from lender to lender, it’s confusing,
and the wrong financing can hurt your client’s viability
There are a lot of new loan products available online
You are in an important position to advise and counsel your
small business clients
There Are New Options to the Bank

Why Did This Happen?

Searching for capital has
historically been a
challenge for many
business owners
• A time consuming process
• Stringent credit requirements
• Limited credit choices
• Rigid collateral requirements

Traditional Financing Options Just
Don’t Work for Everyone

• Banks like to make $5 million loans, not $50,000 loans
• Banks rely on manual, time consuming processes that make it difficult to give business owners quick answers
• Credit criteria focuses on personal credit score and collateral

Short-Term Loans
24
Short Term Loans could be a good fit for:
Buying quick-turnaround inventory
Ramping up a new employee
Bridging a seasonal cash flow gap
Short Term Loans allow a borrower to:
Borrow with a term suited for their loan purpose
Meet the need
Pay off the debt quickly
Long-Term Loans
25
Long Term Loans could be a good fit for:
Purchasing a new warehouse or other building
Covering the expense of adding a new location
Purchasing heavy equipment
Long Term Loans allow a borrower to:
Meet a longer-term need with a term suited for
that loan purpose
Spread the cost of expensive purchases over
several years
As a General Rule
26
The longer the term,
the smaller the periodic payment—
but the greater the overall cost of the loan.
Shorter-term loans
typically have a lower overall cost—
but the periodic payments will be higher.

Nobody would buy a new car with a
30-year home mortgage, regardless of
how low the APR.
It would make the overall cost of the car
too expensive.
Loan Purpose Should Dictate Loan Amount
36
There are costs associated with borrowing—
Borrowing more than needed is
just too expensive
Lenders appreciate borrowers
who know what they really need
