Frequently Asked Questions

Can a bank statement replace a P&L for a loan application?

For many alternative lenders and SBA Express loans, yes. A bank statement P&L (deposits minus expenses from your bank statement) is accepted as a substitute for formal financial statements from sole proprietors and single-member LLCs. Export your statements to Excel, categorize transactions, and present it as your P&L to the lender.

How do I build a P&L from a bank statement in Excel?

After converting to Excel: (1) filter deposits (credits) — these are your gross revenue; (2) filter debits and categorize by type (rent, supplies, payroll, utilities); (3) sum each category; (4) subtract total expenses from gross revenue = net profit. This simple structure is accepted by most lenders and accountants for small businesses without formal bookkeeping.
