Restaurant Financing
In the past it has been hard to get restaurant financing as there were not many lenders who would finance a restaurant. So if you are thinking about opening up a new restaurant and are going to need to need financing for it you may not have many options in lenders available to you. The lenders you will find are very cautious about deciding who they will finance and they will have very strict guidelines they will follow.
However in the past couple of years it is becoming a little easier to find a lender who is willing to offer restaurant financing. The biggest reason so many lenders are so cautious in this area is that is a widely known fact that restaurant business has almost double the rate of bankruptcies as any other business out there. This alone makes this type of investment a huge risk to the lender.
If a borrower defaults on their restaurant financing repayment then the bank has to go through a foreclosure process. Once the property has been foreclosed upon it will have to go to the open market to be resold which will help the lender recover most of the remaining balance on the loan.
However selling a restaurant can be hard to do because once a building is designed to be a restaurant it typically can not be used for another purpose which limits the number of potential buyers to those who are interested in owning a restaurant.
However when a lender is making the decision on whether or not they will help you with restaurant financing they are going to be looking at your income first and foremost. The lender needs to feel positive that you will be able to repay your loan in a timely manner.
Then the lender will consider in your credit ratings. If you have poor or bad credit the chances of you getting your financing may be slim however not impossible.
A new form of restaurant financing is the stated income loans. In this type of loan you will tell your lender what your income is and not be required to show proof of this.
