Business Plan for a Bank Loan in the Philippines

A loan application in the Philippines is judged on specific numbers — not just a narrative. This page covers what lenders in the Philippines typically require and how Funderly's Lender tier builds the same math into your plan.

Best for founders and SMEs in the Philippines preparing a business plan for a bank or development-finance loan.

  • Typical loan range: ₱50,000 – ₱5,000,000

How the workflow supports this

What lenders in the Philippines typically require

Requirements vary by lender, but most bank and development-finance loans in the Philippines ask for a similar core set of documents alongside the business plan.

  • DTI registration (sole proprietorship) or SEC registration (corporation)
  • Mayor's Permit
  • Government-issued ID
  • A business plan (required for SB Corp Business Expansion loans)
  • Proof of bank account and no adverse credit history (CIC check)

DSCR and the numbers a lender checks

Philippine SME lenders such as SB Corp expect the business plan to demonstrate repayment capacity — a DSCR around 1.25x is a defensible target for a loan assessment.

  • A small retailer applying for a ₱1,000,000 SB Corp Business Expansion Loan needs a business plan showing the loan is affordable within the 3-year repayment term, including the 0% first-year interest period.
  • Funderly’s Lender tier calculates DSCR checked against the common 1.25x lender benchmark, with 1.0x–1.25x flagged as tight and below 1.0x as not covering the repayment, and builds a full loan amortization schedule, so the numbers in your plan match what an underwriter checks.
  • Financial projections are formula-driven from your inputs, not AI-guessed — the same model behind every Funderly export.

Building the plan

Funderly runs market analysis, competitor research, and financial modeling in one workflow, so your loan application in the Philippines has a consistent story from the narrative through to the numbers.

  • Describe the business, get market and competitor analysis, then build the financial model on the Lender tier ($499 one-time).
  • Export the plan and financial statements as PDF, DOCX, or XLSX.
  • Pricing is one-time, not a recurring subscription — useful when you are budgeting for a loan application, not an ongoing tool.
