A local business owner applied for a $75,000 equipment line of credit last month.
He was confident. His revenue was strong, his client pipeline was packed, and his customers loved him.
Two weeks later? Application Denied. ❌
He called me confused: "Ludmila, we make great money. Why did they say no?"
Here is the cold, hard reality about lenders and investors:
Banks do not look at your bank balance. They look at your Balance Sheet and your Profit & Loss statement. 📊
Because he had neglected his bookkeeping:
His P&L showed personal withdrawals miscategorized as business expenses, artificially sinking his net income.
His balance sheet had old, uncollected debts listed as active assets.
His debt-to-income ratio looked completely distorted on paper.
