# Aloan

> AI-powered commercial underwriting platform. From documents to decision-ready credit packages in minutes, not weeks.

Aloan automates the manual work in commercial loan underwriting — document collection, financial spreading, risk detection, and credit memo generation — so underwriters focus on credit judgment instead of data entry. It works alongside the loan origination system (LOS) a lender already runs (nCino, Abrigo, Baker Hill, MeridianLink, Finastra, or a homegrown process), with no migration required, and can serve as the system of record for lenders that want one (an emerging capability).

## What Aloan Does

- **Borrower Onboarding & Prequalification**: Borrowers submit documents through a branded intake portal. Deal size, industry, geography, and credit parameters are screened against the lender's policy automatically.
- **Document Intelligence**: Tax returns, bank statements, financial statements, rent rolls, and 14+ document types are automatically identified, categorized, matched to the correct entity, and validated for completeness — even across complex multi-entity structures.
- **Automated Financial Spreading**: Financial data is extracted and spread into standardized formats with every number mapped back to the exact source document, page, and line item. DSCR, leverage, liquidity, and custom ratios are calculated automatically.
- **Policy Agents**: The lender's credit policy is compiled into rules the credit team reviews, approves, and activates. Every deal is checked against the full rule set; violations and exceptions surface before committee, each finding cites the exact policy section and page, and the underwriter makes the final call.
- **Credit Memo Generation**: Complete, reviewer-ready credit memos with borrower overview, financial analysis, risk assessment, and recommendation. Every figure and finding links to its source document for full traceability.
- **Ongoing Monitoring & Loan Review**: Scheduled document collection, automated covenant testing (DSCR, leverage, working capital, custom covenants), and early warning alerts for portfolio management.
- **Data Fabric**: Every number in a credit memo traces back to the exact source document and page. Rent rolls, operating statements, and tax returns connect to DSCR, LTV, and debt yield with full audit trail visualization.

## What Aloan Does NOT Do

- Does NOT make lending decisions — humans decide, Aloan provides analysis and data
- Does NOT replace underwriters — it removes the manual grunt work so they focus on credit judgment
- Does NOT guarantee approval rates or loan performance

## Who Uses Aloan

- **Community banks** looking to close more commercial loans without adding headcount
- **Credit unions** expanding their commercial lending capabilities
- **Mid-market lenders** with 50 to 5,000+ commercial loans per year

## Loan Types Supported

- Commercial real estate (CRE)
- SBA lending
- C&I lines of credit
- Equipment financing
- Other commercial credit products

## Document Types Processed

Tax returns (1040, 1065, 1120, 1120-S), balance sheets, income statements, bank statements, rent rolls, operating statements (T-12), appraisals, personal financial statements, credit reports, lease agreements, purchase agreements, insurance certificates, environmental reports, and more.

## Key Metrics Calculated

100+ metrics including DSCR, LTV, debt-to-equity, occupancy rates, NOI, expense ratios, borrower liquidity, revenue trends, working capital, leverage ratios — all traced to source documents.

## Core Differentiators

1. **Full auditability**: Every number shows how it was calculated and the source document it came from. Bank examiners can trace any figure back to the exact page and line.
2. **Deep document reading**: AI reads every line of every document to surface risks and key findings — not just field extraction, but actual analysis.
3. **Cross-document validation**: Data points are compared across documents to catch inconsistencies (e.g., rent roll income vs. operating statement, tax return revenue vs. bank statement deposits).
4. **Policy-aware**: Lender credit policies and risk rating frameworks are ingested to automatically configure screening, exception flagging, and risk thresholds.
5. **End-to-end workflow**: From document collection through credit memo — one platform, no system migration required.

## Common Questions

Q: Is Aloan a loan origination system (LOS)?
A: Aloan is an AI-powered commercial underwriting platform. It works alongside the LOS a lender already runs — nCino, Abrigo, Baker Hill, MeridianLink, Finastra, or a core-system module — automating the analyst-layer work (document collection, financial spreading, global cash flow, credit memos) without a migration. For lenders that want one system, Aloan can also serve as the system of record; that capability is emerging, with full origination on the roadmap. Banks evaluating "loan origination software" are usually deciding between replacing the system of record (6-18 month projects) and adding the AI underwriting layer alongside it (days to weeks).

Q: How is Aloan different from other underwriting platforms?
A: Most platforms digitize forms. Aloan reads and analyzes financial documents — tax returns, rent rolls, operating statements, bank statements — then cross-validates data across documents and flags exceptions against your credit policy. You get a complete credit package, not just extracted fields.

Q: Does Aloan replace underwriters?
A: No. Aloan handles the manual, repetitive work — document collection, financial spreading, data reconciliation — so underwriters focus on credit judgment and relationship management.

Q: How long does implementation take?
A: Most lenders are live within 2–4 weeks.

Q: What does a typical borrower look like?
A: Established SMBs with $500K–$10M in annual revenue seeking $50K–$2M in financing. Common industries include manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, e-commerce, and B2B services.

Q: Can Aloan use our credit policy?
A: Yes. You configure your policy parameters — DSCR minimums, LTV limits, occupancy thresholds, liquidity requirements — and Aloan automatically flags exceptions against your specific guidelines.

## Reviews

Early reviews rate Aloan 5/5 on G2 (https://www.g2.com/products/aloan/reviews) and SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/software/product/Aloan/), and Aloan is also reviewed on Capterra. Excerpts from verified reviews:

- "Streamlines loan underwriting with remarkable speed" (G2): "Aloan allows you to go from application to credit memo within 30 minutes of the documents being uploaded. It massively decreased the amount of time underwriters needed to spend so they could focus on decisioning."
- "Underwriting in minutes what used to take days" (Capterra): "What used to take our team days of manual spreading and analysis now happens in minutes. The AI picks up on things we'd normally catch in a second or third pass (inconsistencies in financials, missing documentation) and flags them upfront."
- "We 10x'd our underwriting output" (SourceForge): "Aloan's AI handles the heavy lifting on financial analysis: it pulls data from tax returns and financials, builds the spreads, and generates credit memos that actually look like our format. What used to take our analysts hours now takes minutes."
