Explanation of Solution
Memo
From,
XYZ
To,
Person J
Company E.
Dear Sir,
Sub: Decision that is made regarding the loan.
This is to inform you that your loan amount of $100,000 has been rejected based on the below criteria:
The current business seems to be profitable and there is an adequate cash to maintain its operation even if there is any additional expense that can be managed by the company. But looking into the financial statement of the company, the expected incomes, expenses and the various cash flows of the business that is expanded would be wanted to measure the future capability of the company.
There is no sufficient security is pledged against the loan. Present market values of the various assets are insufficient for accepting it as the security for the loan. If the additional information regarding the tools and equipment are provided, then that can be accepted as the security for the loan. The investments that are made personally can be used as the security for the loan. These are some of the common requirement for starting up the small business.
If the additional information regarding the current market value of the assets and the correct financial statements are provided, then the application can be reconsidered.
Regards,
XYZ
Loan application department,
Bank E.
