Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Review the evidence behind every figure

SpreadSpace opens the source line behind a figure directly from the spread. Derived totals unfold into the lines that make them, so the reviewer can check the calculation as well as the printed amount. That review carries through to the memo.

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

Choose SpreadSpace for the analyst's working spread and the memo that explains the credit decision. The team can reconcile figures, examine borrower and guarantor cash flow, and compare property-level rental results on one canvas. The lender's memo carries reviewed exhibits with their source links, so reviewers can follow the evidence behind the analysis.

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

  • LaserPro supports loan-document generation, while Analyze provides financial spreading within its modular lending platform.
  • Analyze, Exchange, Evaluate and LaserPro cloud can be deployed individually or together.
  • SpreadSpace focuses the analyst on source-document review, borrower and guarantor financials, adjustable assumptions and the lender's credit memo.

Documents and extraction
Tax lines and supporting schedules

Extract Forms 1040, 1065, 1120 and 1120-S with supporting schedules and statements. Work with return lines, Schedule K-1 detail, depreciation and loss carryovers in the same financial review.

Not verified
K-1 statements paired to owners

Each Schedule K-1 is paired with its own supporting statements and attached to the owner it names. Later K-1s, personal returns, and personal financial statements for that person join the same entity, and distributions remain available for analysis.

Not verified
Statement periods rebuilt across workbooks

Organize company statements into consistent financial categories, with current and noncurrent assets, liabilities and equity kept distinct. Expand grouped totals into their underlying reported lines, with readable labels and the source detail retained. Compare annual and monthly financial results by entity and reporting period. Keep each series tied to its source documents when building trend charts, ratios and year-over-year tables.

LaserPro Analyze provides cloud-based financial statement spreading and analysis controls.LaserPro Lending Platform
Depreciation lines and asset source review

Form 4562 lines are searchable in the source picker, and the attached depreciation register has its own return-viewer tab. Each asset row retains a source jump so the reviewer can examine the detail behind a depreciation figure.

Not verified
Boxed sources through canvas and memo

Click a source-backed figure to open the document at its highlighted region. Expand a derived figure into the contributing rows and follow those rows back to their sources.

Not verified
Bank transactions, balances, and relationships

Inspect bank transactions with dates, descriptions, signed amounts and account context. Analyze monthly inflows and outflows, daily balances, transfers, overdrafts and returned-item signals, then open the underlying statement evidence. Build an implied debt schedule from observed bank advances and repayments. Inspect the underlying transactions and use payment cadence where the history supports it, while keeping inferred payments distinct from contractual terms.

Not verified
Analysis
Tax basis and book basis

Reconcile return revenue and expenses to ordinary business income and then to income per books. Inspect M-1 or M-3 adjustments and supporting-statement detail, including any remaining difference, through the tax-to-book bridge.

Not verified
Return-derived cash flow tied to Schedule L

Derive operating, investing and financing cash flows from the return's income, Schedule L changes and supporting detail. Compare the calculated change in cash with the return's reported change and inspect the contributing rows.

Not verified
EBITDA add-backs that follow basis

Select individual return lines or supporting-statement items and apply full or percentage adjustments to chosen years. Keep the reported amount visible and prevent a selected subtotal and its component item from being counted twice. Set institution-wide adjustment policies for tax-basis EBITDA, book-basis EBITDA, rental NOI and Schedule C. Apply full, partial or excluded treatment to supported expense concepts, reuse book-basis policy on company financials and make loan-specific exceptions.

Not verified
Return-derived affiliates and bank reclassification

The affiliate schedule includes every affiliated and intercompany entity named in the business and personal returns, including K-1 issuers, corporate return affiliations, supporting statements, and related-party receivable and payable lines, whether or not an ownership link or K-1 exists. It feeds the entity roster and reclassifies matching bank counterparties as intercompany, with a link to the source line even when the return arrives later.

Not verified
Rental income and expenses by property

Build property-level schedules from Form 8825 and Schedule E with income, itemized expenses and depreciation across years. Follow source lines and calculate NOI and adjusted NOI for the selected properties. Build NOI and adjusted NOI from each property's rental income, expenses, interest, depreciation and amortization. Save property- and year-specific adjustment selections and write-ins with the underlying return values still visible.

Not verified
Source-line DSCR by entity and year

Save named DSCR configurations for each entity using adjusted EBITDA from tax returns or company financial statements. Select debt-service lines, optional interest and analyst write-ins, then compare historical and pro forma coverage.

Questions lenders ask

Can SpreadSpace replace the LaserPro Analyze underwriting workflow?

Yes, for the underwriting spread, analysis, and credit memo workflow. SpreadSpace supplies document extraction, a shared analysis canvas, and source-linked memo exhibits. Legal closing-document preparation is outside that replacement scope.

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.

How is SpreadSpace priced against LaserPro?

SpreadSpace charges only for extraction usage, with volume discounts. We never charge implementation or procurement fees. The API, embedded workspace, financial spreading, source review and memo builder are included in extraction pricing. Contact sales for pricing based on your document volume.
