Commercial loans are a vital part of the business financing landscape. But what exactly are they? This article will explain everything you need to know about commercial loans, from what they are to how automation can take your lending process to the next level. 

Any underwriting process related to a commercial loan will likely involve one important document— the tax return. In tandem with other business statements, this highly relevant document helps lenders determine the viability of a borrower as a candidate for a loan.

In terms of internal financial documents, lenders may want balance sheets and cash flow statements, but they will likely always ask for one document, in particular — the income statement. 

The underwriting process is at the heart of the lending process. As an underwriter, you engage in detailed work that involves verifying income, assets, debt and property details in order to ensure that a deal is as valuable and secure as possible for your financial institution.

Lending fraud is a growing trend, and one that is costing both large and small financial institutions. Everyone from the local credit union to large banks is feeling the sting. Small and mid-sized business fraud has increased almost 7 percent since 2020, and costs related to fraud are highest for companies in fintech.

Automation is a powerful lever that will amplify your entire approach to doing business as a lender, including your tax return spreading process.

Financial statements involve the same due diligence, analysis and data-based decision-making one might expect in the consumer space. 

The goal of financial spreading is simple. You lend a company money and, over time, they pay the loan back with interest. In the end, you make a profit.
