A pretty basic question - Is the Canada small business loan, i.e. government SBL loans, really 'guaranteed'? Two points here, first of all, the loan is guaranteed by the government to your lender, but you are certainly not 'guaranteed' to get approval! But with the right knowledge, and the right preparation you can dramatically increase the chances of approved funding.
Let's examine how you can ensure your business is approved for financing under this program. Some of the techniques and info we share we could almost characterize as subtle, and some are simply a key requirement to get the job done. It’s not hard to take ‘guesswork‘ out of the program and increase the odds of financing approval.
You must be able to at least understand the lender's language, even if you don’t speak it every day.
At the end of the day, it’s about some basic organization around your information, dealing with the right party, and being able to clearly demonstrate that your business is the right firm with which to have a borrowing/lending relationship.
Doesn't it make sense that if certain information is required for the Canada Small Business Loan that you are able to provide it? That info that's required is hardly 'rocket science' by the way; it’s actually a short laundry list. The essence of that info is a business plan, quotes or invoices on what you want financed, a cash flow forecast, and information about you with respect to assets and liabilities and your personal credit history.
You want to be able to demonstrate how the financing will assist your business, whether it’s a new business, a franchise, or assets required to operate and grow your company. When we listen to clients who say they have spent far too long in getting approved for government loans we can usually demonstrate they have responded properly to the financing info request.
We're fond of an expression called 'deal fatigue'... that's simply when enthusiasm by you and your lender hit an all-time low on your transaction. So by putting a package together with all the info, including a positive attitude and approach, you are able to present a strong picture of your capabilities and experience.
The SBL small business loan is actually administered by Canadian banks on behalf of the government department, Industry Canada. There isn’t a day that goes by when we don’t hear the comment 'banks aren't lending', or 'banks are only lending to their existing client relationships'.
We tell clients they will never be in a position to change the way banks do business in Canada (God knows we've tried that ourselves!) but you can take advantage of programs that clearly are meant to finance and grow your business.
Many clients are too focused on rates on all types of business financing - That’s our opinion. The reality is that using a 100k loan as an example an interest rate difference of, say 5% will only mean a monthly payment difference of a few hundred dollars. And the reality is that rates on government loans are fixed anyway. Bottom line; don’t focus all your efforts on rates when any new business financing can help your business grow.
The Canadian SBL program provides millions of dollars of financing to businesses like yours. It helps your business achieve financing it otherwise could not obtain. As a borrower, you need to deal directly with both the positive and negative aspects of your loan, and you must be able to project positive future performance. That's not hard to do by the way.
You can successfully achieve financing by working with an advisor or banker that both understands the program and can ensure your financing is fast-tracked to success via the right information presented in a positive manner.
