  1. Understanding Debt to Income Ratio for Small Business Loans Understanding your debt-to-income ratio and debt service coverage ratio is crucial for securing a small business loan. Learn what these terms mean, how lenders use them to evaluate your business, and how to improve your financial standing for loans like unsecured loans or commercial real estate financing.

  2. What is Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)? The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a metric many lenders use to determine a small business owner’s creditworthiness and ability to meet its debt obligations. 

  3. Debt Service Coverage Ratio: What’s Good and How to Calculate It To calculate your business’s DSCR, you first need to determine its EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

  4. What’s A Good DSCR? While there’s no universally agreed upon DSCR, the higher the number, the better. A DSCR of less than 1 is typically unacceptable to lenders because it means the business’s cash flow wouldn’t be able to meet its debt obligations. A higher DSCR typically means a business has enough net operating income to pay its monthly debts.

  5. What is the Debt to Income Ratio (DTI)? The debt-to-income ratio is another measurement lenders consider to determine a borrower’s ability to repay a small business loan, particularly when evaluating unsecured loan applications. It compares your business’s monthly debt obligations to its monthly income and evaluates how much more debt you can take on.

  6. Ways to Increase Your Debt Service Coverage Ratio Small business owners who’ve received loans with higher interest rates or are turned down altogether often wonder if there’s a way to increase their debt service coverage ratio.
