Assessment Of Credit Application (A Financial Management Topic)

What Is a Credit Application?
A credit application is a questionnaire that a lender or business will require you to complete before lending you money or extending credit to you. Credit applications are customary when you're trying to obtain a home loan, home equity loan, automobile loan, business loan or credit card. One may also be required when you want to rent an apartment. The information you supply on a credit application helps the lender decide whether to lend you money and how much, and assess your ability to repay the loan.
A lender uses a credit application to determine your credit worthiness.
Identifying Information
The first part of the credit application asks you to provide your basic contact information such as name, address and phone number. This section will also typically ask for your social security number if you're applying as an individual, and both your SSN and the employer identification number or EIN of the business if you're applying for a business loan. The application may also request the amount of the loan you are seeking and the purpose of the loan.
Financial Information
This section will ask you about your income and financial background. As an individual, you will be asked about your salary or annual earnings, assets, home ownership status, other outstanding debt obligations and banking information. If it's a business application, you will be asked about your annual sales and net income in addition to the other items above. The application may also request that you submit a copy of recent tax returns or audited financial statements with the application.
References
A credit application will contain a section to list individuals or businesses you have worked with and paid for services. The creditor will want to know contact information including name, address, phone number and email as well as business details about the relationship. You will also be asked to provide facts about these references, such as the length of the relationship and payment history. The creditor will likely contact these references to verify the nature of your relationship.
Loan Guarantors
The creditor will ask for contact information for each co-signer as well as social security numbers, driver's license numbers and salary or financial information.
Terms and Conditions
A credit application will also contain some legalese that you must agree to when submitting the credit application. This section includes the creditor's request to run a credit and background check on all loan applicants, and will discuss details on the approval process and criteria. Sometimes it will even include the specific terms of the loan. These disclaimers usually address the interest rate, fees, debtor expectations and the dispute resolution process that the applicant is agreeing to by submitting the credit request
Assessment Of Credit Application
The information you provide on a credit application tells a story about your ability to handle money. Whether you are looking to finance a home, a car or future purchases, a potential lender uses this information not only to assess your ability to repay, but to determine whether or not you will repay. 
The credit application process usually involves investigation, verification and assessment before your lender makes a final determination.
