INTRODUCTION OF LOAN PROPOSAL

5

LOAN PROPOSAL

Loan proposals are formal, written documents that small businesses must prepare when they approach potential lenders or investors for funding. A complete loan proposal package should consist of completed loan application forms (if required), and a comprehensive business plan with complete financial statements. Ideally, the loan proposal should present information about the small business, its future prospects, and its financing needs in a straightforward manner. All the pertinent information the lender or investor might need in making a decision should be provided in a logical format. Loan proposals must be thorough yet concise, convincing yet honest. The aim is to answer all the questions that a lender or investor is likely to ask without overstating the facts and figures.

Preparing a solid loan proposal can be very time consuming, but it has proven to be the best way for a small business owner to demonstrate his or her understanding of the business and its financial demands to potential lenders and investors. Furthermore, the business plan portion of the loan proposal can serve as a sort of handbook for running the business. It presents criteria against which management's strategy and decisions can be continually evaluated. Overall, a formal loan proposal should illustrate why the small business is a good credit risk by placing it within the context of its market and competition, explaining any peaks and valleys in cash flow, and emphasizing the strengths of the management team.

ELEMENTS OF A LOAN PROPOSAL

The Small Business Administration publication Handbook for Small Business outlines some of the elements that should be included in a good loan proposal. It should begin with a summary page that provides contact information for the company, the amount of the loan request, the company's intended purpose for the funds, and the proposed repayment terms.

The next section should feature a description and summary of the business, including a brief history. The description should also include information on the size and potential for growth of the business's main markets, an analysis of the competition, and notes on any emerging industry trends. Other useful information might include an explanation of any unique aspects of the business's product or service, information on local advertising efforts, and a long-term growth plan.

The next major section of the loan proposal features information on the company's management team, including brief resumes outlining the experience of key employees. This section might also include notes on the business's current staffing level, along with an analysis of future staffing needs. The names and contact information for accountants and attorneys should also be provided.

The next section consists of the loan request itself. This section should provide the potential lender with details about the amount of funds needed, how they will be used, what collateral is available to secure the loan, the company's proposed repayment terms, and evidence of the small business's ability to repay the loan.

Another section should include supporting financial data, including a current balance sheet and income statement, three years of historical financial statements (for existing businesses), projections of cash flow for the next year, and personal financial statements for the business's primary owners or investors. Another important loan-related section should supply information on the business's current sources and uses of credit, including the names and contact information for lenders and trade creditors.

The final section of the loan proposal can include a variety of miscellaneous information that might help the lender to reach a

7

favorable decision. For example, the small business owner could attach business licenses, copies of the partnership agreement or articles of incorporation, copies of tax returns, lease information if renting facilities, and information on insurance coverage.

MAKING THE PROPOSAL

In his book Doing Business with Banks, Gibson Heath recommended that the loan proposal be written using layman's terms, and illustrated with computer generated graphics and charts that highlight key areas of the proposal and provide a visual representation of the ideas presented. Overall, the loan proposal must anticipate any objections the lender or investor might have to providing funds for the small business, and then provide the information needed to overcome the objections.

In an article for Inc., Bruce G. Posner solicited comments from bankers regarding the most glaring weaknesses they saw in small business loan proposals. They all expressed a desire to see evidence that the business owner had thought the loan proposal all the way through. "Business owners come in with these beautiful three-ring binders. The numbers are in nice, straight columns, but a lot of these people haven't thought about the assumptions they've made and what it will take to do what they say they'll do," said Jeffrey C. Gardner of U.S. Bancorp. "We need to know where the numbers come from. The sad part is that many people don't know what the projections are about because their accountant made all the assumptions."

Dev Strischek of Barnett Bank of Palm Beach County echoed these comments, noting that "The biggest weakness I see is a lack of specificity and a lack of preparation. A lot of people don't really know what they need the money for or how much they need.…We like to see a cash-flow analysis—how much they plan to sell, how much they spend on overhead, how much for inventory, and what's available for debt service. It's easier to do business with people who've thought things through."

After creating a formal, written loan proposal, the next step is to present the proposal to a potential lender. Heath recommended that the small business owner take one last look at the loan proposal before taking it to the bank, in order to verify the numbers and be ready to answer any questions with confidence. It is important that, rather than just dropping the loan proposal off, the small business owner meet with the lender to review the loan proposal in detail. The in person presentation should focus on just a few key points of

9

the proposal. It is intended to improve the lender's understanding of the business and the loan request, so that he or she will be able to defend the proposal before other decision makers. At the conclusion of the meeting, the small business owner should ask when a decision might be expected. It is also important for the small business owner to be available during that time period to answer any follow-up questions.

Principles of Bank Lending

The precaution to be taken by the bankers and the principles to be taken care of, while granting advances in relation to specific securities are discussed in detail subsequently. By way of introduction, an attempt is being made in the following discuss the general principles to be borne in mind by a banker while granting loans and advances

Liquidity:

The term ‘liquidity’ implies the ability to produce cash on demand. A bank mainly utilizes its deposits for the purpose of granting advances. These deposits are repayable on demand or on the expiry of a specified period. In either case, the banker must be ready to meet these liabilities whenever necessary. As such, he has many outstanding contracts for future delivery of money. The banker should always bear in mind that he is the guardian of a very delicate mechanism which paves the way for future economic development and which, if disturbed will create monetary disequilibrium with all the incidental evil effects. Herein lays the importance of ensuring that the advances granted by the baker are as liquid as possible.

Profitability:

Banks are essentially commercial ventures. It is true that excessive and unjustifiable profits can only be at the cost of the customer, in so far as higher lending rates push up production costs, and in the ultimate analysis, adversely affect society in general. The strong operating profits allow for full prudential provisioning. High net profits allow for allocation to capita; and reserves, which is essential for any bank to maintain its competitive viability and expand its lending operations. The shareholders of a bank are entitled to reasonable dividends.

11

Safety and Security:

The banker should ensure that the borrower has the ability and will to repay the advances as per agreement. Before granting a secured advance, he should carefully consider the margin of safety offered by the security concerned and possibilities of fluctuations in its value. If it is an unsecured advance, its repayment depends on the creditworthiness of the borrower and that of the guarantor, wherever applicable.

Purpose:

The banker has to carefully examine the purpose for which the advance has been applied for. In case the advance is intended to be utilized for productive purposes, it could be reasonably anticipated that cash flows arising from productive activities will result in prompt repayment. The banker has to be careful to monitor the exact purpose for which the advance is actually utilized. There is always the possibility that the advances, once granted, may be diverted for purposes other than that indicated by the borrower at the time of application. Thus, there should be proper provisions for effective post credit supervision.

Social responsibility:

While admitting that banks are essentially commercial ventures, a bank should not forgot the fact that is not enough that only people of means are given bank finance. Through productive efforts bank finance should make people creditworthy, and turn them into people of means. Technical competence of the borrower, operational flexibility and economic viability of the project, rather than the security which the borrower can offer, should be considered in evaluating a loan proposal.

12

Industrial and Geographical diversification:

The banker should aim at spreading the advances as widely as possible over different industries and different localities. This would enable him to compensate any losses which might arise as a result of anticipated factors adversely affecting particular industries and/or particular localities.

13

Cash Credit

With many of the advantages of a standard line of credit, cash credit is the issuance of a short term cash loan to a business. A cash loan of this type if often utilized to meet the expenses associated with a specific task or project, with repayment expected within a period of one year or less. Successfully receiving cash credit and paying off the loan within terms can open the way for the business to be extended a more liberal line of credit for future use.

Cash credit works in a manner that is very similar to that of a line of credit. The difference is that cash credit establishes a cash account with the lender institution that can be drawn upon by the debtor. This is different from a conventional loan, in that the debtor does not have to receive the entire amount of the loan at one time. Cash credit is also different from a line of credit, as the amount of resources extended are pre-approved and the repayment schedule is the same whether the debtor is actively using the cash credit or not.

Overdraft Financing

Overdraft financing is provided when businesses make payments from their business current account exceeding the available cash balance. An overdraft facility enables businesses to obtain short-term funding - although in theory the amount loaned is repayable on demand by the bank.

There are several important factors to consider when assessing the appropriateness of an overdraft as a source of funding for SME's:

- The amount borrowed should not exceed the agreed limit ("facility").The amount of the facility made available is a matter for negotiation with the bank;

- Interest is charged on the amount overdrawn - at a rate that is above the Bank Base Rate. The overdraft financing

- The amount borrowed should not exceed the agreed limit ("facility"). The amount of the facility made available is a matter for negotiation with the bank;

- Interest is charged on the amount overdrawn - at a rate that is above the Bank Base Rate. The bank may also charge an overdraft facility fee;

- Overdrafts are generally meant to cover short-term financing requirements - they are not generally meant to provide a permanent source of finance

- Depending on the size of the overdraft facility, the bank may require the SME to provide some security - for example by securing the overdraft against tangible fixed assets, or against personal guarantees provided by the directors

The amount of an overdraft at any one time will depend on the cash flows of the business, the timing of receipts and payments, seasonal trends in the sales and so on. This can be illustrated using the data below. In the example cash flow statement given below, the SME generates a positive overall cash flow in a full year.

This can be illustrated using the data below. In the example cash flow statement given below, the SME generates a positive overall cash flow in a full year.

Fund Flow

Fund Flow Statements summarize a firm’s inflow and outflow of funds. Simply put, it tells investors where funds have come from and where funds have gone. The statements are often used to determine whether companies efficiently source and utilize funds available to them.

16

How to Prepare a Fund Flow Statement

Fund flow statements are prepared by taking the balance sheets for two dates representing the coverage period. The increases and decreases must then be calculated for each item. Finally, the changes are classified under four categories: (1) Long-term sources, (2) long-term uses, (3) short-term sources, (4) short-term uses.

It is also important to zero out the non-fund based adjustments in order to capture only the changes that are accompanies by flow of funds. However, income accrued but received and expenses incurred but not received reckoned in the profit and loss statement should not be excluded from the profit figure for the fund flow statement.

Fund flow statements can be used to identify a variety of problems in the way a company operates. For example, companies that are using short-term money to finance long-term investments may run into liquidity problems in the future. Meanwhile, a company that is using long-term money to finance short-term investments may not be efficiently utilizing its capital.

17

Methods of Granting Advances

Cash credit:

Banks in India favor the granting of loans in the form of ‘cash credit’. It is estimated that out of the total bank credit, this method accounts for more than 50%. Under this method, the banker allows the customer to borrow up to a certain amount known as the ‘Cash Credit Limit’. Usually the borrower is required to provide security in the form of pledge or hypothecation of tangible securities. In some cases, the limit is granted on the guarantees furnished by sureties acceptable to the bankers. It may be noted that it is not necessary for the borrower to avail of the full cash credit limit in one installment.

Overdrafts

This method of granting advances resembles the cash credit system. However, to avail off an overdraft facility; the borrower has to open a current account. This account is allowed to be overdrawn up to a certain limit. As in the case of cash credit, the borrower has to pay interest only on the amount actually overdrawn and only for the period during which it is utilized.

Bills discounting and purchasing

This method of granting loans is also a short term facility intended to provide current working capital. Under this method, the bankers advances money on the securities of bills of exchange after deducting a certain percentage, technically known as’ Discount’, from the face value of the bill . This method of providing financial accommodation is heavily favored by conservative bankers

18

according to whom the earning assets of a commercial bank should consist mainly of short-term self –liquidating productive loans.

Issue of Letter Of Credit

“Any arrangement however named or described whereby a banker(the issuing bank) acting at the request and in accordance with the instructions of a customer (the applicant of the credit)is to make payment to or to the order of a third party(the beneficiary)or is to pay accept or negotiate bills of exchange(drafts)drawn by the beneficiary, or authorize such payments to be made or such drafts to be paid, accepted or negotiated ,by another bank against stipulated documents and compliance with stipulated terms and conditions”.

Loans

The term ‘loan’ is popularly used to denote the granting of an advance in lump sum, generally on the basis of securities acceptable to the bankers. The distinguishing feature of a loan is that interest on it is payable on the entire amount, whether it is fully utilized or not it is granted for a definite period and the borrower is given the facilities to repay it in one lump sum or in installments . As far as a banker is concerned, the operating cost of a loan is lower as compared to a cash credit or an overdraft. This method of granting an advance has the advantage of strengthening the financial discipline in the use of bank credit. follow up , supervise and control of end use of bank credit could be made more effective in the case of loans as compared to cash credits and overdrafts .

19

Secured Advances: Forms of Security

A banker secures the advances by means of:

Bankers Lien:

A bankers lien is a general lien which confers a right to a retain properties in respect of any general balance due by debtors to the bankers. Bankers have a general lien on all securities deposited with them in their capacity as bankers by a customer, unless there is an express contract or circumstances that show an implied contract inconsistent with the lien .Banker’s right of sale extend only to fully negotiable securities. As far as such securities are concerned the banker’s may exercise his right of sale after serving reasonable notice to the customer.

Pledge:

A Pledge is a contract where by an article is deposited with a lender as a promise or security for the repayment of a loan or performance of a promise. To complete a contract of pledge, delivery of the goods to the banker is necessary. Delivery of the title documents relating to the goods, or the keys of the godown where the goods are stored, may be sufficient to create a valid pledge, strictly speaking where no possession is given, it is known as hypothecation and is elaborated in the next section.

Mortgage:

Section 58 of the Transfer of Property Act defines a ‘Mortgage’ thus “A mortgage is the transfers of an interest in a specific immovable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt, or the performance of an engagement which may give rise to pecuniary liability .” In terms of above definition, the initials of mortgage are as follows.

1. There must be a transfer of interest in an immovable property.

20

2. The immovable property must be a specific one.

3. The consideration of a mortgage may be either money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan or the performance of a contract.

Hypothecation –Mortgage of movables

A ‘Mortgage of movables ‘may be defined as a transfer, by way of security of the general ownership of the chattel, subject to the equity of redemption of the mortgagor. Mortgage of movables can be made by mere parole and without transfer of possession. However, a subsequent mortgagee with possessive, in the absence of notice of previous mortgage, will get priority over a prior mortgage without possession. In the strict sense, the term ‘mortgage’ is used only in connection with immovable. In the case of movables, the term ‘pledge’ and ‘hypothecation’ are generally used. Where a mortgage of movables is created by delivery of possession of goods, it is known as a ‘pledge’, and where no possession is given it is known as ‘hypothecation’.

21

Employment of Fund

Before dealing with the different forms in which the banker’s funds are employed profitably, it will not be out of place to consider the purposes for which banks keep their reserves and the considerations governing the size of reserves.

The term “Finance” simply put is perceived as equivalent to “Money”. In Economics we read about money & Banking, about Monetary Theory &Practice and about Public Finance. But finance exactly is not money; it is the source of providing funds for a particular activity.

The banking sector which forms the bedrock of the Indian financial system falls under the regulatory ambit of the Reserve Bank of India under the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The Reserve Bank also regulates select AIFIs. Consequent upon amendment to the Reserve Bank of India (Amendment) Act in 1997, a comprehensive regulatory framework in respect of NBFCs was put in place in January 1997.

The financial market in India comprises the money market, the Government securities market, the foreign exchange market and the capital market. A holistic approach has been adopted in India towards designing and development of a modern, robust, efficient, secure and integrated payment and settlement system. The Reserve Bank set up the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) in 1996, which is an autonomous center for technology capacity building for banks and providing core IT service.

22

Important Factors Governing Reserve

With regard to other demands, given below are the principle circumstances which influence the reserve requirement in the bank.

1. Habits of customers & business conditions of locality:-In a general way it may be said, that the amount of reserve required by a bank depends upon the habits of the customers and the business condition of the locality, which the bank is serving.

2. Use of cheque currency:- Where the cheque currency is popular, the need for hand to hand currency is less and consequently smaller reserves will suffice, because payments for these cheques will, to a very large extent, be made by transfer entries in the books of the bank.

3. Bankers’ clearing house: -Another important factor which affects the reserve to be kept by a bank is whether or not, there is a Bankers’ Clearing House in the locality where the bank is carrying on its business.

4. Nature of accounts: - If a large majority of the current accounts are of a fluctuating nature, as is the case with the accounts of share- brokers, cotton merchants and bullion dealers, the banker will require a comparatively larger cash reserve because there is the chance of most of them withdrawing the major portions of their balances at a time, when there are heavy fluctuations in the prices of shares, cotton and bullion.

23

5. Size of average deposits: - A bank which has only a few large deposits has to keep a larger reserve than a bank with numerous small accounts because the larger the number of clients of a bank, the less is the likelihood of any concerted movement towards a withdrawal of deposits.

6. Nature of advances and amount of bills discounted: -The reserve a bank should keep is also affected by the consideration of the amount of money invested by him in the discount of commercial paper.

7. Currency chests: -The mechanism of currency chests is also of assistance to the Central and State Governments as well as the State Bank of India, its associates and the nationalized banks inasmuch as it enables the Treasuries and bank branches to work with relatively small balances and save themselves the loss involved in locking up of funds in their tills. The chests also enable the exchange of rupee coin for notes and supply of notes of lower denominations for those of higher denominations and vice- versa, or issue of new notes for old and soiled notes.

8. Remittance facilities scheme: - With the objective of facilitating transfer of fund between different centers in the country so as to secure the most economical use of the available financial resources; the Reserve Bank has been operating the Remittance Facilities Scheme since 1940. The parties which may avail of the facility are Central and State Governments, Local Funds, Scheduled banks, non-scheduled banks, State and central co-operative banks and the general public.

24

Examination of Financial Statements

Whenever a banker advances money to partnership firms and limited companies, it is advisable to study their balance- sheets before an advance is sanctioned. This is because the study of the balance-sheet will enable the banker to know the financial position of a potential borrower. It would enable the banker to know whether the money which is to be advanced is likely to be repaid in course of time or not. The study of the balance- sheet also reflects the nature of management of the concern whose balance- sheets are scrutinized. This is more important because a banker would always like to advance money to concerns which are managed efficiently on the basis of sound principles of company management or financial management.

The balance- sheet is a statement showing the financial position of a concern as on a particular date. It indicates the debit balances and credit balances on a particular date on the asset side and the liability side of a company. In other words, the balance- sheet is a statement showing what the company owns and what it owes to others. It also indicates the source of funds for the company and the use to which the funds are put. Such a statement, therefore, is certainly useful to a banker in considering the advance proposal.

The next question which arises is how the banker should look at a balance-sheet, especially from the view point of leading money to his potential borrowers. The following important points have to be noted in studying the balance-sheet:-

1. The banker should study the balance-sheet not of one year but should study the balance- sheet of 3/5 years. This is because the balance- sheet of one year may not give a correct picture of the financial affairs of a concern. The year may be exceptionally a good year or a bad year and, therefore, it may be difficult to arrive at a judgment as regards the financial affairs of a concern. But if the balance-sheets of 3/5

25

years are studied, it would give a trend as to the progress made by the company not only financially but also in other aspects. This would, therefore, enable the banker to form a judgment not only in regard to the way in which a company or business in managed.

2. The banker must see to it that the balance- sheets which are studied are for full period of 12 months. Otherwise, if a balance- sheet is for six months only and other balance- sheets are for different periods, it would not be possible for a banker to compare the financial position. The comparison of balance-sheets will give an idea of a trend in financial affairs over a period of time.

3. The banker must see to it that the balance- sheet is certified as true and is duly signed by the auditors of the company.

4. It is not sufficient to study only the balance- sheet of a company. It would only give a partial picture of the affairs of the company. A balance- sheet, therefore, has to be studied not in isolation but in relation to other financial statements such as profit and loss account, trading account, income and expenditure account, etc. this would enable the banker to compare the figure which are relevant in arriving at a decision in considering a proposal for an advance. The next question which arises is what a banker should look for in a balance-sheet. The banker should look at a balance-sheet only from one angle & that is from the view point of the leading bank. As a leading banker, he is interested in seeing to it that the money which is advanced comes back.

26

With the Help of Ratio

A ratio is a relationship of one item in the balance- sheet to another item and this relationship between two items in the balance-sheet can be expressed either as a percentage or as a proportion. The most important ratios which a banker should study in the balance-sheet from the view point of liquidity are as under:-

1. Current Ratio:- Current ratio is a ratio between current assets and current liabilities .Current are those which can be converted into cash within a short period. Current liabilities are the liabilities which fall due for payment in a short period. The current ratio is obtained by dividing current assets by current liabilities. At present times, a current ratio of 2:1 is considered to be a satisfactory ratio. Thus the ratio is calculated or worked out as:

Current AssetCurrent Liabilities

2. Acid Test or Quick Ratio:- This is also called Liquid Ratio. This is a part of the current ratio and is calculated by comparing liquid resources. This ratio is of great importance for financial institutions and banks. If current ratio is good but quick ratio is low it will indicate a dis- proportionately high investment in stocks, as the quick assets exclude inventory or closing stock from current assets. The ratio of less than 1 will be undesirable, a ratio of 2 is ideal. The ratio is worked out as :

Currentasset−InventoryCurrent Liabilities−Bank OD

27

3. Gross Profit to Sales Ratio :- Profits are an important item in the balance-sheet. If the balance- sheet indicates a rising profit from year to year, it is considered to be a good sign. This ratio will also reflect the efficiency or otherwise of management behind the company. Standard ratios worked out for different industries are published in some of the journals and, therefore, it is easy for a banker to make an inter-company comparison. The ratio is calculated as:

GrossProfit ×100Sales

4. Debtors Ratio :- This ratio indicates what part of the sale is on credit basis and what part of sales is on cash basis. This indicates the period of credit which is extended by the borrower to its buyers. This ratio is also called Debt Collection Period and is calculated as :

Account RecivableCredit Sale

5. Solvency Ratio :- This ratio measures the ability of the concern to repay all external debts or outside liabilities out of its own assets on a long- term basis. This ratio is obtained by relating net tangible assets to total outside liabilities:

Net tangible AssetsTotalOutside Liabilities

The study of these ratios will enable the banker to decide whether the proposal for an advance should be consider on merit or not if other factors are otherwise favorable. There are many more ratios but they are not of much importance to a banker.

28

Examination of statements: General consideration

The following general hints regarding the analysis of financial statements will, we trust, be found useful:

Nature of business:-

In first place the banker should ascertain the nature of the trade or business – retail, wholesale or manufacturing- of the applicant for loan. This is necessary in order to consider the various items of the statement.

Recent statement:-Secondly, the statement should relate to a fairly recent period as a statement showing the customer’s position in some earlier years may not correctly reflect the true state of affairs at the time the person applies for accommodation. It is also desirable to see that the statement does not refer to a period when merchants, in the particular trade to which the borrower belongs, have their indebtedness at its lowest point. Moreover, the information given in the statement should be verified, as far as possible, by independent inquiries, particularly when the same has not been duly audited by a reliable firm of auditors.

Differentiation of liquid and other assets:- Thirdly, the statements should differentiate between the assets, which are of a liquid nature and those which are more or less fixed.

29

Liquid assets to be sufficient to meet short-term liabilities: Fourthly, in examining a statement, the banker must see whether or not they would be borrower can meet his current or short-term liabilities with the help of his quick or liquid assets. It is necessary to do so, because the continuation of the business may depend largely upon meeting the short-term liabilities as they mature.

Difference in the book value and realization value of assets:-Fifthly, it must be borne in mind that the value of the assets given in the statement is ordinarily expressed to show their worth to the trader for use in a going concern. The banker should remember that normally they will fetch much less in case of a good sale.

Cash:-We shall now deal separately with the principal items of the statement and comment upon them. One of the chief items, on the asset side of the statement of a borrower, is the cash in hand and at the bankers.

Current assets:-Classification of assets into current assets should be strictly as per particular Bank and Reserve Bank’s guidelines and it is to be ensure that the other assets are not included under this head while assessing working capital requirements or analyzing the balance-sheet.

Bills receivable:-As regards bills receivable, the banker should ascertain, whether or not, they strictly trade bills received from customers, to whom the goods have been sold.

30

Stock in trade:-

As regarded the stock, it may not be feasible always to get inventory made and its value estimated by an independent and reliable value, and therefore, the bank may generally have to rely upon the borrower’s valuation.

Stock exchange securities:-

As regards the stock exchange securities held by the applicant for loan, the banker should try to find out the object with which they are carried as an asset. If the borrower has invested in securities, funds which he cannot profitable use in his own business, his credit position is strengthened, but on the other hand, if securities happen to be of a speculative nature, the banker should regard them with some suspicion.

Fixed assets: -In case of fixed assets the banker should ascertain whether the land and buildings owned by the borrower are not to subject to any incidental charges such as rates, taxes, etc.

Sundry assets:-

There may be certain sundry assets such as leasehold, goodwill, patents, trademarks, etc., whose values should generally be ignored by the banker, as, in the case of liquidation of the business, they are not likely to fetch any prices.

31

Intangible and fictitious assets:-

Intangible assets are those assets which carry some value to the concern (but are not tangible) like goodwill, patents, copyrights, Trademarks etc. Although in strict commercial terms these items are valuable, for analytical purposes, the bank should not attach any value to these items, as already stated.

Liabilities:-

On the liabilities side the banker should first see whether the capital is large enough for the nature and turnover of the business. If the capital is inadequate the business will be hampered. As already stated, it is ordinarily not the function of a bank to supply fixed capital to an industry because commercial banks as far as possible keep their assets in a liquid form. When the concern applying for a loan is banking only with one banker, the amount and the terms of the credit facilities enjoyed by it will be known to him.

Profit & Loss account:-

The business loan processing system can be defined in six steps

Step One- Receipt of Business Loan Application and Executive Summary: The business loan process begins after a business loan application and Executive Summary has been received. Our Assessment Division thoroughly reviews your business loan application. We assess the value of the project by performing market and industry analyses.

Step Two- Verification of Facts: Verification of the income, liabilities and assets information provided by the borrower. These are almost always verified in detail, through employers, banks, credit bureaus and other third parties.

Step Three-preparation of the Loan Package: A checklist of business loan documents is sent to the borrower.

Step Four-Evaluation and Underwriting: The business loan documents package is verified for accuracy and honesty. Once the verifications are assembled the loan package is submitted to formal underwriting. This may be done electronically through automated underwriting systems, but even when a customer’s business loan is approved in this manner, an underwriter reviews the entire file and provides a final clearance for funding. The underwriter is usually not the originating loan officer.

44

Step Five- Condition, Letter of Intent (LOI) and Commitment: Most loans are approved with some type of conditions, often a requirement to provide further or updated verifications. Here the borrower may be involved again to assist in collecting copies of documents needed to finish the file. A Letter Of Intent or LOI is a document outlining an agreement between two or more parties before the agreement is finalized. LOIs resembles written contracts but are usually not binding on the parties in their entirely. Many LOI, however, contain provisions that are binding, such as non-disclosure agreements, a covenant to negotiate in good faith, or a stand-still or no-shop provision promising exclusive rights to negotiate. A Commitment Letter is formal offer by a lender making explicit the terms under which it agrees to lend money to lend money to a borrower over a certain period of time. It is also known as a standby loan commitment or commitment letter or firm commitment lending also called Loan Commitment.When this step is cleared, parties are ready to close the transaction.

Step Six-Closing: Processing times vary greatly. An important consideration for a borrower wishing to complete processing quickly and agreeably is to be very responsive to the loan officer and his processors when they call for required documents or actions. Business Loan will usually not close without complete compliance with these requests.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion65

1) I can conclude that applying for bank loan is very lengthy and tiring procedure that should be done by Banks electronically.

2) However, it is a very risky matter but commerce will not only save time but also help to maintain the document in a good condition something that I can learn from this project is that it is not very simple to pursue a business loan there are large number of document that are to be submitted and that they should also be cleared by Bank.

3) Also after visiting a Private bank as well as Government bank one can understand that there is a huge difference between the loan procedure as well as interest rates.

4) Government bank lends loans at a Prime Lending Rate that is fixed by the Reserve Bank of India whereas the Private Bank decides the interest rate depending on the project of the company and their financial position.

5) However, a bank loan is not the only way the only source of finance if possible debentures should be issued as they have benefit of tax shield.

6) This project has increased my knowledge about financial operations.

7) I have also realized that this practical knowledge gained during the project will help me greatly.
