19 Sep Personalized Private Lending for Small Businesses
During the last few decades, business transactions have evolved from being completed through personalized human contact to almost exclusively being completed through technology. This phenomenon is prevalent in the small business marketplace in which the typical small business must conform to completing its transactions through sophisticated technological platforms. Small business owners no longer have the luxury of speaking live or meeting with a human being in person to obtain assistance with completing their business transactions.
In concert with this development, Numerous large and medium size private lenders have followed suit with commercial banks and are subjecting their loan applicants to completing onerous online loan applications. These applications are characterized by the fact that the ultimate loan underwriting decision is being made by a “faceless” loan underwriter with whom the small business owner will never meet nor will this underwriter ever visit the business’ place of business.
This very impersonal loan underwriting method was formerly just exclusively utilized by large commercial banks. Now even private lenders in various market segments have pivoted from “high touch” personal service in which they had direct contact with the loan applicant to directing their loan applicants to computer based “formulaic” platforms that drive the lenders loan underwriting process.
