Commercial Loans and Bank Rage

In most situations involving commercial loans and working capital, bank rage is emerging as a practical issue for business owners. A substantial portion of the current bank rage can be attributed to how banks are using their scarce resources. Instead of traditional uses like working capital financing for small business owners and commercial property owners, many well-known banks are paying million-dollar salaries and bonuses to employees who have already taken their employers to the brink of disaster. Typically paying as little as three cents on the dollar in cash and leveraging the remainder with debt, banks which should have known better unwisely invested in multiple varieties of what are now referred to as toxic assets. Realistically most will point out that this is no way to run a bank. Meanwhile, the few remaining good banks have effectively been victimized by the outlandish behavior of the many bad banks. Getting beyond bank rage and subsequently moving forward is a prudent goal for any small business — the most practical solution for most business owners is to determine whether their current banking relationship involves one of the bad banks or one of the good banks.
