What Is a Project Report for a Bank Loan?

Definition

What It Is

A bank loan project report is a structured document that explains the proposed or existing business, project cost, funding requirement, business assumptions and projected financial performance.  

It may include project cost, means of finance, revenue projections, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet, DSCR and other information relevant to the proposed loan.

Reasoning

Why Banks Ask for One First

A project report helps a lender understand how the proposed funds will be used and how the business is expected to generate revenue and repay the proposed borrowing.

The exact information required can vary depending on the lender, loan type, business activity, loan amount and applicable government or credit scheme.

Project Report Format for Bank Loan

A bank loan project report should present the business, proposed investment and repayment capacity in a clear and structured manner. The exact format may vary according to the business activity, loan type, lender and applicable scheme, but a typical project report includes the following sections

How to Prepare a Project Report for a Bank Loan

A bank loan project report should be prepared using realistic business and financial assumptions. Start by defining the business activity and loan requirement, then calculate the project cost and means of finance. Prepare projected sales, expenses, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow, followed by DSCR and break-even analysis to assess repayment capacity.

Before finalising the report, figures should be cross-checked with available quotations, financial records and supporting documents.

The exact requirements may vary depending on the lender, loan amount, business activity and applicable scheme.

Who Needs a Bank Loan Project Report?

Had to give two stars for the lack of commitment from the team.
Before paying for the service, I have enquired if there is any time restriction or restriction on number of changes and was told no. However Second report was erroneous and had to make corrections for the points missed.
Now the team wants me to pay additional amount for making changes related to Fiinancials.
Extremely disappointed

Incorrect Project Cost

Figures that don’t match actual quotations or valuations submitted.

Cash Flow Mismatch

Fund flow figures that don’t reconcile against the balance sheet and P&L.
