Every Decline
Is a Missed Relationship.
Second Look Gives It Back.
Most SMB Declines Aren't Credit Problems.
They're Policy Problems.
A meaningful share of small-business loan applications declined by community and regional banks every year are creditworthy under a different lens.
Operating history thresholds, debt-service-coverage cutoffs, industry concentration limits, and loan-size minima are all sound credit policy, and they all decline borrowers who would perform under a different framework.
Today, those borrowers walk out of your branch, your portal, and your relationship. Second Look is the program that recovers them.
