The product in plain terms

Business loans: Commercial borrowing, what lenders read in a business file, and how the assessment differs from personal credit.

A business loan is assessed on commercial financial statements and cash flow, which is a different exercise from reading a personal credit file.

Commercial terms are negotiated more often than consumer terms, because the files differ more.

The owner's personal credit file is often read alongside the business file, especially in a small company.
