There are seven stages of the loan origination process. These stages include the pre-qualification process, loan application, application processing, loan underwriting process, credit decision, quality check and loan funding. In the loan underwriting process, a commercial loan underwriter analyzes the financial data provided by an applicant, evaluates loan documents to make sure that they are complete and accurate and helps in making decisions related to loan approval. Commercial loans involve a large amount of money and therefore can be risky. This is the reason why there is no room for mistakes in the loan underwriting process. You can automate and streamline your loan underwriting process by using an automated commercial loan underwriter.
