How a business loan works in Surrey

For a borrower in Surrey, a business loan is commercial borrowing assessed on the business rather than on a personal credit file.

Applied to Surrey, the difference between two offers comes down to this: compare the term against the useful life of the asset being financed.

Because nothing is pledged, the business loan for a Surrey borrower is assessed on the strength of the file rather than on an asset.

Reading a business loan application from Surrey

A business loan application from Surrey is assessed on the same basis as anywhere in British Columbia: the lender reads financial statements, cash flow, the industry and the owner's own file.

Documents for a Surrey borrower usually cover identity, income, banking history and current obligations, and the lender verifies each one.

The information a Surrey applicant supplies has to be accurate, because the lender can check it against records it already holds.
