How lenders read DSCR
- 1.25 or higher: bank-grade. Most SBA and traditional commercial lenders want this minimum.
- 1.10 – 1.24: tight. May approve with story-credit programs and a larger down payment.
- Below 1.10: doesn't cover the debt. Usually requires reducing the loan, increasing down payment, or going to alternative financing.
- Below 1.00: the business isn't generating enough income to cover its debt. Don't apply with this number — get the business to a healthier place first.
Your DSCR is borderline?
