Most would-be borrowers probably aren\u2019t aware of how important an appraisal<\/a> is when they\u2019re seeking a loan. When determining if a business is a good investment risk, lenders will often examine the so-called \u201cFive Cs of Lending.\u201d These five Cs are:<\/p>\n

1. Character \u2013 Is the business trustworthy? The business\u2019s financial performance, credit report, management, and payment trends are examined.<\/p>\n

2. Capital\/Capitalization \u2013 What is the financial position of the business? This category includes resources, fixed assets, net worth, and the owner\u2019s equity.<\/p>\n

3. Capacity\/Cash Flow \u2013 Does the business have funds available to repay the loan? This takes into account whether or not the borrower can continue to pay for all other business expenses, personal needs, etc.<\/p>\n

4. Collateral \u2013 Does the business have assets that can be used as security should the loan default?<\/p>\n

5. Conditions \u2013 What are the external market factors, including competition and market trends?<\/p>\n

Even in today\u2019s tight economic environment, lenders backed by the SBA are lending money, but they are increasingly more cautious. They are conducting more careful due diligence, which includes their own certified appraisals of collateral to ensure that they will recoup their losses should a loan default.<\/p>\n

Having all the Cs covered \u2013 including having a defensible, impartial asset appraisal in hand \u2013 prior to seeking a loan can help increase the chances of being approved. Or, if there are some areas where a business may be weak in the eyes of lenders, a business owner can use this information to make changes and improve potential borrowing success. Understanding what lenders are looking for and how a certified appraisal fits into lending criteria can help business owners find the funds they need to grow.<\/p>\n

The NEBB Institute<\/a> <\/em>endorses and strives to observe the highest standards of professional ethics to preserve the public trust inherent in the professional appraisal practice. The Institute provides initial and monthly comprehensive education, ongoing support, and a dynamic international network, and certifies professionals in the art of machinery\/equipment appraisal and brokerage.<\/em><\/p>\n
