Seeking Bank Financing

Applying for financing is a crossroads that every business comes to at one time or another. Despite your confidence in the future of your business, the process is time-consuming, intimidating, and full of opportunities to derail if you don’t do everything right. Different financing resources require different things, but what is common is that the list is typically very long. Most will require one year of bank statements for all accounts, a personal financial statement, several years of tax returns (both business and personal), several year-end financial statements, copies of lease agreements, copies of any other notes or any other obligations, and information about owners and key management. A common error that businesses make that prevents them from getting the financing they’re seeking is not having adequate financial data—either it is historically lacking, or it is not timely or accurate.

What We Can Provide

Here’s how we can help:

  • One of the biggest ways we help is by keeping your financial information current and complete, so when you apply for financing, you don’t need to spend time searching for it only to find out you don’t have it.
  • We can also help prepare financial ratios, assist with plans to improve financial ratios, maintain files for loan documentation, and prepare statements of cash flow.
  • We keep up with the ever-changing landscape of rules, regulations, and loan covenants to help you avoid mistakes and pitfalls.

When it comes time to seek financing, we recommend that you meet with us and your banker to obtain a list of requirements for the type of loan you seek and begin gathering the information. You should also begin to monitor your financial data to meet the ratios needed to meet the covenants and ensure the cash flow will be adequate to borrow. With Fricke & Associates, LLC on your team, working with you side by side, this process does not have to be overwhelming or time-consuming—and you can provide your banker with exactly what they need.
