The problem

The bank said no. They didn't tell you why.

Roughly 40 to 50 percent of Canadian small business loan applications are declined on first submission. Almost none of those applicants are told the real reason. What they get instead is a polite letter with vague language designed to close the conversation:

"Insufficient debt servicing capacity."

"Your application does not meet our current risk appetite."

"We are unable to support this request at this time."

Every one of those sentences means something specific to a credit adjudicator. None of them tell you what to fix. So you sit with a dead deal, a 90-day reapplication clock ticking, and no idea whether the problem was your DSCR, your collateral position, your assumptions section, your industry classification, or your personal credit profile — let alone which of those is fixable in time to save your financing.

That's the gap this review fills. You send us your full package. A Canadian commercial banker reads it the way an adjudicator would. You get back a written report that names the actual reasons, ranks them by severity, and tells you exactly what to change before you reapply.

What you receive

A written banker review of your full lender package

Not a template. Not a generic checklist. A specific, line-by-line analysis of your file written by someone who has approved and declined applications exactly like yours.

01 — Decline Decoded

The real reason, in plain English

Translation of every line of your decline letter into what the adjudicator actually meant. No more guessing what "insufficient debt servicing" was code for.

02 — The 5 Cs

Character, capacity, capital, collateral, conditions

A scored assessment of your application against the same five-pillar framework Canadian credit adjudicators use. Strengths, weaknesses, and where you fell short.

03 — DSCR Analysis

The math the bank ran on you

Your debt service coverage ratio calculated the way the lender calculated it — including the adjustments and stress tests they applied that you didn't see.

04 — Assumptions Audit

Where your projections lost credibility

The single most common reason plans get declined. Every revenue assumption, cost line, and growth projection in your file is checked against what bankers consider defensible.

05 — Red Flags

Specific issues, ranked by severity

Three to seven concrete problems identified in your file, ranked from "deal-killer" to "minor concern." If we can't find at least three, you get a full refund.

06 — Reapplication Roadmap

Exactly what to fix, in what order

A prioritized action list for your reapplication. What to change, what to add, what to remove, and which lender or program is most likely to approve you next.

The process

From decline letter to clarity in five days

No phone tag, no consultations, no proposals. A clean intake form, a focused review, a written report.

01

You upload your full lender package

Decline letter, business plan, financial statements or projections, personal net worth statement, and any covenants or supporting documents the lender saw. The intake form walks you through it in roughly 15 minutes.

02

A Canadian commercial banker reviews your file

Personally. Not a template, not an AI dump. The same kind of read your application got at the bank — but with the actual reasoning written down for you to keep.

03

You receive your written report within 5 business days

Delivered as a polished PDF. Eight to twelve pages. Specific, actionable, and written in plain English — not banker jargon. Yours to share with your accountant, partner, or next lender.

04

You reapply with a clear plan

You'll know what to fix, in what order, and which lender or program to approach next. If you need a rebuilt business plan to match, LenderReady's $99.99 plan generator is built on the same banker logic.

Why this is different

Most loan consultants help you write the application. We tell you why the bank already said no.

There are firms in Canada that will package your loan application for a percentage of the deal. There are business plan writers who will draft your projections for two thousand dollars. Neither of them sat in the credit adjudication seat. Neither of them can tell you, with confidence, what an actual Canadian banker saw in your file and decided against.

This service exists because that gap shouldn't exist. If you're going to spend the next 90 days rebuilding your application, you should know exactly what you're rebuilding it against.

"The decline letter said 'insufficient debt servicing.' The review explained that my projected DSCR was 1.08, and the bank wanted 1.25 minimum. I cut two cost lines, restructured the loan request, and got approved on the second try."

Common questions

What if my $499 review doesn't find anything useful?

If we can't identify at least three specific, actionable reasons your application was declined, you get a full refund. Given how Canadian commercial credit decisions actually work, this almost never happens — but the guarantee is real and unconditional.

Who actually reviews my file?

A Canadian commercial banker with direct experience evaluating small business loan applications. For privacy reasons, individual reviewers are not named publicly — but every review carries the same standard and the same banker judgment that powers LenderReady's plan generator.

What documents do I need to send?

At minimum: your decline letter, your business plan, and your most recent financial statements or projections. Ideally also: personal net worth statement, cash flow forecast, and any correspondence with the lender. The intake form walks you through everything.

Why only 10 reviews per month?

Because each review is done personally and carefully. We'd rather deliver ten exceptional reports than fifty rushed ones. When the cap fills, the page switches to a waitlist for the following month.

Can you guarantee my reapplication will be approved?

No, and anyone who does is not telling you the truth. Lending decisions depend on factors outside any consultant's control. What we can guarantee is that you'll know exactly why you were declined the first time, and exactly what to address before trying again.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Your file is reviewed once, the report is delivered, and your documents are deleted within 30 days unless you request otherwise. Nothing is shared, sold, or referenced anywhere.

You asked for a million dollars. What's $499 to find out why they said no?

Ten reviews per month. First-come, first-served. When April fills, the next opening is May.
