SME term loans, AI-transformed

Term loans, underwritten on real cashflow.

Filed accounts are often over a year old. Credit Canary reads the live business account, categorises every pound of revenue and cost, and turns it into an evidenced lending decision in minutes, so you approve more good businesses and price risk on what is actually happening now.

The term-loan file, reimagined

The old way reads history. The AI way reads the present and decides.

The old way
  • Filed accounts that can be 18 months stale
  • Weeks of manual spreading and back-and-forth
  • Thin-file and young businesses declined by default
  • No visibility once the loan is on the book
The AI way
  • Live current-account cashflow via Open Banking
  • Every transaction categorised, debt service coverage derived
  • A trading business judged on real earnings, not filing age
  • Live monitoring that flags revenue dips early

AI across the term-loan lifecycle

One platform that transforms every stage, from first touch to repayment.

Origination

Pre-qualify a business in minutes from a single consented connection, no document chase to begin.

Underwriting

Cashflow, seasonality and debt service coverage read straight from categorised transactions.

Decisioning

Companies House, director and Open Banking data resolved into one explainable decision.

Monitoring

Ongoing signals flag a revenue dip or late payers early, so you act before arrears.

The business account, turned into a decision

The same insight that powers our Open Banking work, applied to a trading business. A raw current-account feed becomes categorised revenue, costs and a coverage view, the real input a term-loan decision needs.
