Structuring the loan is part of the preparation of the package ready for review by the lender. When a borrower goes into a bank to discuss a loan, the loan officer will ask many questions and request many documents. The borrower then brings or e-mail the information necessary for the loan officer. If the loan officer simply passes that information to the subscriber, it is for the insurer to analyze the numbers and try to understand if the loan makes sense. “Structuring the loan” is the seasoned professional, financial expert ready to show why the underwriter for the loan makes perfect sense.

We analyze the numbers and provide the lender with key ratios so they can make a decision without having to search through the documents to see what is there. We know what the numbers are important to lenders that we have working relationships with. We know how to put assets together to show the full value of the transaction. We know how to show them what they need to know, saving time for the lender, and time savings for the borrower.

I guess one way to learn what it means to break it word by word.

• Merchant is someone who sells something.
• Cash, so we all know what that means.
• Advance is to provide or pay in expectation of repayment.

Refinancing business – is the guarantee of corporate finance work?

The system of loan guarantees for small businesses (SFLG) was closed in January 2009 and replaced by the guarantee scheme of corporate finance (EFGS). The idea behind the EFGS (and even before the SFLG) is to stimulate lending to small and medium enterprises. Loans under this scheme are guaranteed by the government at 75% of the value of the loan.
