To help with this dilemma, we have always invited commercial borrowers to contact us directly for timely and candid business loan advice.

The business financing environment is changing almost every day and there is a great deal of new information to absorb. Here is one of several AEX observations that might have been originally missed by business owners —

Working capital loans and small business financing are heading in a new direction. What we are seeing now with commercial financing suggests that results for business owners will be confusing, uncertain and painful at times. One of the key factors impacting the new directions for small business loans is that banks and other commercial lenders have changed so dramatically in a very short period of time. These changes are not expected to be temporary in nature. With multiple bank examples, the new directions for commercial borrowers are not optional or voluntary. In most cases, if business owners do not move in a new direction for their business financing, they will be left without basic working capital financing and commercial loans. Because commercial lending is extremely competitive, new lenders have emerged to replace the old ineffective ones. Small business owners will now find that their business finance and working capital financing choices might have improved as a result.

Business Loan Quiz — This short series of questions and answers about the current state of small business financing will provide some candid and practical explanations about why there is currently a shortage of adequate bank lending to small businesses for commercial mortgages and working capital loans.

Small Business Owners Might Need a Business Financing Expert — The purpose in using a small business finance expert is to ensure that all effective and practical commercial finance options are fully reviewed.

Commercial Mortgage Loans Described in Seven Words — This report was intentionally structured to produce a concise overview of pertinent commercial mortgage issues by describing commercial real estate loan difficulties in seven words. To help small business owners cope with one of the most chaotic commercial banking climates seen in decades, AEX reports such as “Six More Words about Business Loans” and “Seven Words to Describe Merchant Cash Advances” are also available.


AEX Commercial Loans Report Excerpt —

Primary Reasons for Business Cash Advances using Credit Card Processing

Small businesses will typically use a combination of short-term and long-term commercial financing, and even thriving businesses frequently need more cash than available from a bank and other small business loans. Short-term business finance funding is most appropriate for working capital, marketing, taxes, emergencies and inventory. Expenses for equipment and renovations can be funded with either short-term or long-term business financing. Many small business owners should consider using a business cash advance based on future credit card sales as a short-term financing source. This working capital financing strategy is also called credit card financing and is based on factoring of the credit card receivables for a business. The funds obtained from business cash advances typically vary from $10,000 to $300,000 and can be applied to short-term commercial finance funding needs that are usually very difficult for most small business owners to finance. There are several critical problems to avoid when using this strategy — key problems are described in The Working Capital Journal. The most likely candidates to benefit from this business finance strategy are businesses which have a regular volume of credit card processing transactions, particularly restaurants, retail stores and service businesses such as motels and dentists.

Contingency Planning (“Plan B”) for Unexpected Business Financing Problems
— Excerpt from an AEX Commercial Financing Group article

Even before the recent chaos effecting credit and financial markets, AEX has consistently advocated that business borrowers should “Always have a Plan B” for their small business loan programs. For commercial financing there is often inadequate attention paid to what can go wrong with business finance arrangements. A key example — numerous banks have already pulled the plug on business financing (in most cases with little advance notice to commercial borrowers). Based on evolving uncertainties in commercial finance markets, all business owners would be wise to immediately formulate a Plan B that identifies what to do if current financing is revoked or reduced for working capital financing and commercial mortgage loans.
