The biggest reason that small businesses fail is a lack of adequate cash flow. When the economy is good and sales are high, this isn’t usually a problem. However, the economy is not always strong, and sales are not always high. During these down times, the cash flow can slow, and cash reserves begin to dwindle.

Because of their previous lackadaisical approach, many lenders have found themselves in great trouble with many closing their doors and claiming bankruptcy. The lenders who are still in business now realize the importance of sound underwriting on all of the loans that come across their desk.

When a loan request is submitted to a lender, a loan processor is typically assigned to the loan to gather all of the necessary documents that the underwriter will need to evaluate the loan and to make sure the borrower will be able to make their payments and still have a reserve for emergencies. The documentation they will require is also required by the regulators that the banks have to answer to. Because of the mortgage crisis, regulators are running around as fast as they can and are extremely picky with what they need as documentation.

While this should have been happening over the past years, it has caused banks to reorganize their underwriting departments and request for more information than they need to ensure they will meet the regulators stringent requirements so they can keep lending. (more…)
