Importance of Choosing the Right Business Loan Broker in the current economic climate, banks have tightened their lending standards for many reasons, partially due to the aftermath of both the pandemic and the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.
The decline in lending has impacted businesses looking to secure commercial loans, including commercial real estate loans, which has caused difficulties for business owners to get the funding they need to grow or sustain their businesses.
This is where business loan brokers come in as a positive solution for business owners seeking financing options.
Understanding the Current Economic Climate and the Impact on Business Loans
Yahoo Finance recently reported that bank lending in the United States has slumped most since the 2008 financial crisis. According to Yahoo, banks are tightening their lending standards due to the economic uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, not to mention the recent Silicon Valley Bank Collapse.
This has resulted in the decline of business loans and commercial loans, which has impacted businesses of all sizes, from startups to established businesses.

At Innovative Capital, we work with a network of lenders, including traditional banks, P2P lending, private equity, and alternative lenders to name a few, in order to find the best financing options for our clients. See examples of commercial loan types we can broker here.
