Commercial Bankers: You Can Say “No” and Still Have a Happy Client

It may sound farfetched, but here are two scenarios in which banks can say “No” yet keep their clients happy:

  1. A bank has a line of credit with a client who asks for a line increase the bank does not want to provide. Rather than losing the client entirely, the bank can bring us in to augment the relationship with an Equipment-Only Loan. The borrower is happy because they have the capital they need, and the bank looks like a hero because it solved the issue for its client and saved the relationship.
  2. Sometimes, a revolving line of credit doesn’t work based on how a business operates. When an A/R line is not an option, rather than lose a prospective client, lenders can bring us in to provide an Equipment-Only Loan and they can develop the treasury management aspect of the relationship.

 
Our Equipment-Only Loans work to support bank relationships; not compete with them. We’ll take part only when asked and to the benefit of all parties concerned. Celtic Capital is a very good option when bankers holding lemons need to make lemonade.
