Commercial & Industrial Banking FAQs
What documents do I need to apply for commercial financing?
This can depend on the type of financing you need. Typically, we’ll ask for two to three years’ worth of business financial statements and the details about what you’re looking to finance. Once we understand the request, we can provide a full list of any additional documents needed.
How long does the commercial loan approval process take?
The timeline can depend on the complexity of the deal, amount being financed and how quickly financial information is available. From the start, your Bankers Trust commercial lender will explain the process and set clear expectations, so you always know what comes next.
How do I know which type of financing is right for my business?
Our Bankers Trust commercial lenders can provide you with options once we learn more about what you’re trying to accomplish.
