Tips For Approval
When we assess your business application, we want to see that you can pay the loan back comfortably.
Examples of lending criteria we take into consideration:
- That there are regular payments into your account and stable/growing turnover
- Be accurate when giving the turnover of your business, we will review your business account to check that it is consistent with the actual turnover of your business
- If your business has an overdraft, that the business account is regularly in credit and for at least 30 days in the year
- Whether your business keeps up-to-date with payments to the Revenue or other suppliers, as well as with repayments on any credit cards/borrowings your business may have
- That enough money is retained in the business account to meet cheques and direct debits
- If you have a personal account with us, we’ll review that too. For Sole Traders this will include any personal accounts you may have with Bank of Ireland in your name or jointly with someone else. For Limited Company accounts this may include personal accounts of the Directors and Owners of the business that are held with Bank of Ireland
