In this video, Dean and I discuss why lenders do not necessarily look at historical financial performance in isolation.
Yes, past results matter. But businesses change.
You may have lost a major client. Your market may have shifted. An unexpected event may have affected cash flow. Or the issue that caused a difficult period may no longer be affecting the business at all.
That is where the story behind the numbers becomes important.
When seeking business finance, you may need to clearly demonstrate:
💡 Why the additional funding is required
💡 How the finance will support the next stage of the business
💡 What caused any previous financial challenges
💡 Why those circumstances may no longer apply
💡 What your projected cash flow looks like
💡 Whether you have contracts or future work supporting your forecasts
💡 How the business has adapted to changing conditions
💡 Why the proposed debt should be sustainable moving forward
Historical financials can help lenders understand where your business has been, but they are only part of the picture.
A strong finance application should also explain where the business is going and why the proposed funding can help you get there.
Challenges are part of running a business. In some cases, successfully navigating those challenges can also demonstrate resilience and show lenders that you have a clear strategy for the next phase.
If your business has experienced a setback but you can see a path forward, watch the video and speak with us about how that story can be presented to lenders.
