Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Explain the book and tax difference

SpreadSpace records every return on both a tax basis and a book basis, with the calculation folded beneath each derived figure, and the analyst can use either one or both. Its statement of cash flows separates operating, investing and financing activity and reconciles to Schedule L. The analyst can explain the basis of the credit decision from the return itself.

Compare rental income by property

SpreadSpace turns Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I into a property schedule with years side by side. Each property keeps its income, itemized operating expenses and printed depreciation line, with the supporting figures available for review. Analysts can isolate a building and see what changed before relying on the total.

Keep assumptions with the analyst

SpreadSpace lets the analyst choose the EBITDA basis and add-backs for each entity and year. DSCR uses selected document lines and a named recipe saved on the loan, with historical or proposed debt service. The resulting figures retain their supporting calculations for review.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

Choose SpreadSpace for a credit review built around the supporting evidence. Analysts can unfold derivations, compare rental property expenses across years and select coverage inputs for each entity. Borrower and guarantor analysis stays together, and reviewed memo exhibits retain their source links.

Choose SpreadSpace when

  • Your analysts want to click any figure and see its source line boxed on the page, inside the app, on the spread and in the memo.
  • You want the whole return on the spread, including hundreds of pages of depreciation and amortization schedules, the net operating loss history, and the affiliated businesses, with every derived figure unfolding into the lines that make it.
  • You spread multi-entity deals with several guarantors and want every Schedule K-1 paired with its statements and attached to the right person automatically.
  • You want bank statements worked to the transaction, with every lender detected, every counterparty classed, and an affiliate reclassified the moment a return proves the relationship.
  • Lenders can embed the financial-review workspace and connect document intake to their existing loan workflow.
  • Lenders reviewing rental real estate need Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I income, itemized expenses and depreciation compared by property across years.

How the workflows compare

  • Square 1 combines spreading, global cash flow and committee-presentation integration with lending and portfolio workflows.
  • Its analysis tools include custom calculations, projections, stress testing and industry comparisons.
  • SpreadSpace puts document-level review, borrower and guarantor context, analyst adjustments and source-linked exhibits on the working canvas.

Documents and extraction
Tax detail with boxed source review

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. 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
Schedule K-1 statement pairing and owner linking

Each K-1 is bound to its own supporting statements by a cascade of printed name, partner number, page order and capital account, and its recipient is matched to a person on the loan by identifier, name and address, so a K-1 that lands days later still reaches the right guarantor. No fuzzy person matching exists anywhere, so an unmatched name stays unmatched rather than guessed.

Not verified
Align workbook periods across tabs and files

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.

Not verified
Boxed source lines inside the spread

A click opens the full source document with the exact line boxed. A figure placed in the memo keeps the source link, and a derived figure unfolds into its supporting rows.

Bank statements
Statement transactions with page boxes

Every transaction in statement order with its date, printed description, signed amount, and type, wire and ACH descriptions split into who sent it, who received it, and what it was for, a balance for every single day, and overdrafts, NSFs, chargebacks, and returned items counted. Statements group into accounts automatically, so you spread one account, several, or all of them.

Not verified
Classified bank cash flow with retained transactions

Where the money came from, where it went, and what was left, day by day, with transfers between the borrower's own accounts kept out of the operating numbers and owner draws and personal spending set apart. Liquidity bands the lowest, average, and highest balances, any day opens the transactions behind it, and every figure links back to its statement page.

Not verified
Financing cadence with supporting transactions

Every lender the statements reveal, advances and repayments relationship by relationship, merchant cash advances, and financing spotted from payment cadence and transaction text such as a loan payoff note.

Not verified
Counterparty classes with analyst overrides

Transactions roll up by named counterparty into income and expense classes with 24 operating outflow subclasses. Uncertain classifications remain in an under review section, an analyst confirmation groups matching transactions, and overrides persist through reprocessing with an audit record.

Not verified
Cross-document reclassification

When a later return names a counterparty as an affiliate, the rollup reclassifies it, even days after the statements landed. In an illustrative example, $9,000,000 moved from repairs to intercompany, 12% of operating outflows, and the row's document link opens the boxed source line.

Not verified
Undisclosed accounts and concentration

Accounts the transactions mention with no statements uploaded are named by bank and last four digits, each with the transactions that revealed it, and the flag clears itself as statements arrive. Top customers and vendors rank by share, and an implied debt schedule builds from bank activity alone.

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.

Global cash flow analysis covers complex entities.Square 1 Credit Suite product overview
Return-detected affiliates and bank reclassification

Every affiliated and intercompany entity named anywhere on the business and personal returns lands on one schedule, ownership link or not, K-1 or not, from the ownership tables on Form 1120 and Form 1120-S, the issuer behind every K-1, affiliates named in return statements, the personal return's pass through and qualified business income rosters, and related party receivable and payable lines. The schedule feeds the entity roster and re-tags matching bank counterparties to intercompany with the naming line boxed.

Custom ratios, RMA comparisons, projections and stress testing.Square 1 Credit Suite product overview
Per-entity documents on one shared canvas

Every business and person on the loan is reconciled from the documents' printed names, with spelling drift folded and the EIN last four splitting or uniting names, and appears in the entity selector, so cards from several filers sit on one canvas with no fixed cap on how many. A K-1, a personal return and a personal financial statement gather on the same person without hand linking.

Not verified
Searchable return lines with source-linked visuals

Any extracted line becomes a graph, a ratio with real operators and per term multipliers, an aggregate or a KPI card, picked from a searchable list of the return's lines under thirteen groups, the company statements, the personal return and the personal financial statement, and the built visual keeps the source jump on every line it reads.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace Suntell?

Yes. SpreadSpace provides the spreading canvas, source review and memo builder inside the lender's loan origination system. Shared templates preserve the lender's chosen layout and memo format.

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 can a reviewer check a figure?

The source document opens with the exact line boxed. Derived figures unfold into the supporting rows that make the calculation. The source link remains available when a figure enters the memo.

What does SpreadSpace do with Schedule K-1s?

Each Schedule K-1 stays paired with its supporting statements and is matched to its recipient on the loan. That person's later returns and personal financial statements gather in the same place. An unresolved match stays unresolved for review rather than being guessed.

Can SpreadSpace compare rental properties across years?

Every property on Form 8825, across continuation sheets, and each property on Schedule E Part I becomes a row with income, itemized operating expenses and printed depreciation, with years side by side. Each property keeps its source lines, while Form 4562 and the depreciation registers provide the supporting depreciation detail in the return viewer.

Who controls EBITDA and DSCR assumptions?

The analyst chooses the EBITDA basis and add-backs per entity and year. DSCR draws from selected document lines and historical or proposed debt service, with the named recipe saved on the loan. Canvas templates carry the layout to later loans without carrying those loan-specific DSCR recipes.

Is there an audit trail?

Keep recorded correction events in an append-only audit history with the actor, time and change details. Inspect old and new values for financial figure edits, use Undo controls for counterparty corrections and restore saved analysis revisions.

How is SpreadSpace priced against Suntell?

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.
