Ratios Used By Commercial Lenders

Commercial loans are a big responsibility especially in these times of recession that we are living. For this reason, we recommend that you reflect upon the following questions before requesting one:

Are you comfortable with the way you have handled your finances in the past? Remember to have an idea of what you are looking for. Decide what kind of interest rate you can afford to pay. Think about commercial loans and personal loans you have had in the past and verify that the information they will see speaks well of you.

Granting commercial loans is no easy business for financial institutions; therefore they need to make sure they minimize their risks. They do so by using three ratios:

The first on is the loan-to-value ratio, or commonly called LTVR. In order to calculate this ratio you need to divide the value of the commercial loans and mortgages for the fair market value of the property. This value is the one that you and the buyer have decided upon and they are both satisfied with. The loan-to-value ratio rarely goes over 0.8, which means that the lender wants to minimize its risks.

The second reason of the considerations of commercial loans is the Debt Proportion. The lender of the mortgage market will look at the income of your business and then fix the amount of debt you owe each month. Their bills are denominated debt obligations and are divided by their monthly income-to-debt ratios. The rates of the debt must be maintained at a low level. Not exceed more than 40% in most cases.

Another ratio used by lenders to judge your capacity to pay for your commercial loans is the Debt service coverage ratio or DSRC. This ratio is only used when large commercial loans are requested. The financial institution wants to make sure that your property is generating enough income for you to make payments.

Calculating this involves knowing what your net operating income and what your debt service ratio are. Your net operating income is determined by dividing the amount of your operative expenses (meaning what you need to spend for the property to be used) by what you actually earn from the property. The debt service ratio will show how much you pay for your mortgage. The DSRC is obtained through the division of the net operating income and the debt service ratio.

A DSRC higher than 1 is positive for the mortgage credit institution. Because it means that the business is able to cover the expenses of the property and still have an income. For this reason, the higher this ratio is the better.

Mortgage credit institutions and commercial lenders will look at these three ratios and decide what commercial loan is best for you and less risky for them.
