Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Keep each guarantor’s evidence together

Each K-1 remains paired with its statements and linked to its owner in SpreadSpace. Later personal returns and financial statements join that person’s entity, so the analyst can review distributions and financial position together. Borrowers and guarantors spread side by side on the same canvas.

Build the spread around the borrower

Arrange borrower and guarantor charts, tables, ratios and notes on a shared financial-analysis canvas. Select entities and periods for the exhibits and save the layout with the loan. Save an analysis layout as a reusable template for later loans. Reapply the selected visuals and arrangement to the new loan's data while keeping loan-specific comments and source links with the original review.

Carry the analysis into the memo

Build the lender's memo from reusable templates, analyst narrative and selected spread exhibits. Keep source-linked figures available in the memo workspace, then export the completed credit write-up. Finalize the spread to save versioned financial attributes and ratios with separate tax-return, book-basis and company-reported figures. Retrieve configured DSCR, custom ratio results and analyst adjustments through the API, alongside a documents-only comparison and source document IDs.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

SpreadSpace is the stronger choice for detailed commercial analysis in the lender’s workflow. Analysts can compare return years, inspect the lines behind book income, and keep each property’s operating expenses and depreciation visible. Borrowers and guarantors share one canvas with separate DSCR calculations, and reviewed exhibits enter the company’s memo template. SpreadSpace keeps the analyst's evidence, adjustments and reviewed exhibits together through the credit decision.

Choose SpreadSpace when

  • Lenders reviewing business and personal returns need supporting schedules, K-1 ownership, and the source line behind each figure available in the spread.
  • Credit teams compare every borrower and guarantor on one canvas while keeping each entity’s income basis, adjustments, and DSCR under analyst control.
  • Rental-property lenders need Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I income, itemized expenses, and depreciation with years side by side.
  • Analysts reviewing bank activity need counterparty relationships and return-based affiliate evidence before treating a payment as an operating expense.
  • Committees require the lender’s own memo format, with reviewed charts and tables that retain their source links.
  • Lenders can embed the financial-review workspace and connect document intake to their existing loan workflow.

How the workflows compare

  • HES LoanBox covers onboarding, underwriting, servicing and collections through configurable modules.
  • It supports manual and automated underwriting, open banking data and audit controls, with deployment choices scoped to the lender.
  • SpreadSpace concentrates on financial source review, separate borrower and guarantor analysis, and the lender's source-linked credit memo.

Running SpreadSpace with HES LoanBox

SpreadSpace can add an embedded analysis workspace to a lender's existing workflow. The integration connects document intake and reviewed data through APIs, with the host-system work scoped for the lender's deployment. The credit team uses SpreadSpace for source review, borrower and guarantor analysis, and the memo while retaining its existing loan system.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace HES LoanBox?

No. SpreadSpace is not a loan origination system. It provides financial spreading, source review, analyst adjustments and credit memos within the lender’s existing workflow. Origination, pipeline management and booking stay in the lender’s existing systems. Compare SpreadSpace with HES LoanBox for the financial analysis and memo work, and scope any integration to the lender’s environment.

How does SpreadSpace fit the existing lending workflow?

SpreadSpace provides an embedded analysis workspace, document intake and APIs for returning reviewed data. The integration scope depends on the host system, authentication and document workflow. Analysts use the workspace to review sources, adjust assumptions and prepare the credit memo.

How does SpreadSpace preserve the detail in a tax return?

The spread includes the credit-bearing lines and supporting statements on business and personal returns, including depreciation, amortization, net operating loss history, and affiliations. A large return can produce more than 500 usable lines. Tax and book views retain their own derivations, and every source-backed line can open its boxed position on the document.

What happens to K-1s and guarantor documents?

Each K-1 stays paired with its own supporting statements and attaches to the owner it names. Later personal returns, personal financial statements, and K-1s for that person join the same entity. The analyst can compare those guarantors with the borrower on one canvas while keeping each calculation’s entity and basis clear.

Can SpreadSpace analyze rental income property by property?

Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I become schedules of rental income, itemized operating expenses, and depreciation with years side by side. Form 8825 properties continue across continuation sheets, and each Schedule E Part I property retains its expense detail. The expense fold shows the printed depreciation line, with asset detail available in the return viewer’s depreciation register.

How can a reviewer check a figure in the spread or memo?

A source-backed figure opens the document with the line boxed. A derived total opens the contributing rows so the reviewer can follow the calculation and its source lines. Imported memo visuals retain those links, and the lender’s company-wide template keeps the committee’s format.

Can analysts control adjustments and preserve their review?

The analyst chooses EBITDA add-backs on the selected book or tax basis and configures DSCR per entity and year as a named recipe on the loan. Classification overrides survive later automation, and an opt-in permission allows extracted values to be edited and reset under audit. Shared comments, action history, and board revisions preserve the review around those choices.
