6 Simple Reasons Banks Won’t Grant Your Business Loan Request by Opinionated: 2:20pm On Sep 14, 2017
It’s almost impossible these days to keep a small business running with money from your own pocket. To meet up with financial commitments, entrepreneurs usually approach their banks for loans and it is rejected. As such, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares reasons you may not be granted your business loan request.

Lack of consistent cash flow

Banks tend to favour small and medium-scale businesses that have a steady flow of revenue coming in every month. If your business can’t demonstrate this consistency, your loan request will be denied.

Insufficient collateral

To get a loan, you need a commensurate collateral. This may not be a problem for large businesses that own large assets, but it can very difficult for small businesses.

Personal guarantees

Your bank needs personal guarantees that you won’t default when it comes to servicing your loan. This is a very risky position for enterprises struggling to stay on top of their monthly expenses.

Not enough operating history

Banks give preference to businesses with a track record of good performance. The truth is they don’t want to fund a business that has been operating for a short time and hasn’t sustained a certain amount of success and credibility.

Weakening industry

Operating a small business or startup in an industry that your bank perceives as weak or in fast decline will limit your chances of getting loans from your bank.

Economic concerns

Banks will not lend money to a business if they feel that the current economic conditions are unfavourable for getting the money back in a timely manner. This is simply because they do not want bad debts.

Banks are not investors. They don't care about the business idea... what they want to see is an already viable business that needs cash to expand, and they see a 100% chance of getting their money back, plus interest.

It's for the same reason banks can't lend you money to buy a house unless you demonstrate you can pay them back (e.g. have a good paying job). They can't lend on a promise of future performance.

Consistent cash flow, collateral, and growth potential are the critical components.

When a bank loans you money, they must be sure of a repayment plan. How can they give a new business that they are not sure will even get off the ground. That is recipe for stories. Besides it is Other People's Money (OPM) that they are lending out.
