In just the last five years alone, the process of commercial loss mitigation has in fact reduced business loss significantly. Thanks to the process of industrial loan mods many businesses are able to come to reasonable and fair renegotiated terms with their lenders. That said, one also has to play their cards. Not all commercial loss mitigation circumstances are going to necessarily lead to the redefined loan terms you might need.
Prepare for the worst, and then naturally prepare for the best. Ideas like loan restructuring and commercial short sales have become so commonplace that many business owners no longer believe in the business loss potential. It is quite possible for the lender to enter into negotiations while simultaneously starting the negotiating procedures with you.
Both you and the lender are hoping that the commercial loss mitigation will suffice and a reasonable new set of terms can be reached. Lenders really do not want to own your business. They just want to recoup their loan payments. However, if an agreement can not be reached in and your fall too far behind on your payments the lender will have no choice but to claim their loss.
Your lender should be up front with you about their intention for filing for foreclosure, even if you’re in the middle of restructuring the loan. You can hold your lender in breach of contract if they file foreclosure proceedings without your knowledge while stringing you along with promises of a restructuring. In essence, while commercial loss mitigation can help prevent the worst from happening, you must also be able to prove that a second chance is within everyone’s best interest.
