Research carried out by the UK’s Business Innovation and Skills shows that 71% of businesses in need of a loan will only approach one provider, and will not approach another lender if they are turned down. There are various factors that contribute to the failure to try another source. If a business owner is refused a loan, they may assume that all other lenders will also refuse their application. However, the fact is that other lenders may have alternative lending and risk criteria which means that the outcome of an application cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, many business owners are unaware of the alternatives that are available to them following refusal from their bank.
Britain’s Federation of Small Business recently published data from a survey highlighting that approximately 60% of loan applications by members have been successful thus far in 2015. These figures show a 15% increase from the same time a year ago. The rise in small businesses securing loans against their operation is partly due to the presence of specialist financiers. Many businesses have been turned down for loans by their banks and turned to alternative sources within the corporate marketplace.
