The difference between a “client wants to grow” and a “client is seeking $500K to import stock in line with new international contracts” is more than detail. It’s confidence. It’s credibility. It’s what helps a credit team to say yes.
At Banjo, we work with brokers every day to unpack the real story behind the funding need, and it’s this clarity that helps us move fast, with confidence.
The following examples show how to transform a generic loan explanation into a clear, compelling purpose, the kind that gets deals moving.
As our credit lead Christopher Cam puts it:
“A powerful way to convey a clear purpose is to show the shift, how Banjo helps define the true funding need behind the surface-level request.”
