UK-focused B2B SaaS for commercial & SME lending

AI-Powered Credit Proposal Drafting for Commercial & SME Lending

Turn hours of manual credit-memo preparation into a faster, structured workflow — with lender-specific AI drafting, deterministic financial analysis and human review built in.

CreditNarrate AI ingests borrower financial statements, bureau data and relationship history, then generates a first-draft credit proposal in your institution's own house style — while the lending decision stays firmly with your credit team.

Built for regulated lending environments. Human-in-the-loop by design.

About

Built Around the Credit Officer's Workflow

CreditNarrate AI was designed around the real-world sequence followed by credit officers — not around a generic document-generation model.

    Financial analysis

  3. 03

    Narrative drafting

The gap

Loan-origination platforms

Traditional loan-origination platforms manage broader lending workflows, but do not focus on drafting the narrative memo itself.

The gap

Generic AI writing tools

Generic AI writing tools lack credit-domain logic, numerical verification, compliance-oriented workflow, lender-specific house style and portfolio consistency.

The gap

Specialist risk analytics

Specialist risk-analytics tools focus on scoring and monitoring rather than drafting the proposal narrative.

CreditNarrate AI is designed to address this gap: credit-domain drafting, lender-specific house style, deterministic financial verification, portfolio consistency and human review in one workflow. AI drafts. Humans decide.

Founder

Rana Muhammad Ali

Seven years of hands-on credit and banking experience from two commercial banks in Pakistan, combined with UK postgraduate education and direct engagement with the UK credit market.

Finance/Credit Manager — United Bank Limited

Finance/Credit Manager — Meezan Bank Limited

Operations Officer — Meezan Bank

He personally prepared, reviewed and submitted commercial credit proposals across trade finance, real estate, manufacturing and distribution, and managed a live credit portfolio of more than PKR 500 million (approximately £2.5 million).

That experience is why the product is grounded in the actual workflow of commercial credit underwriting.

Platform

One Platform. The Complete Credit Proposal Workflow.

Eight connected modules take a borrower file from raw documents to a committee-ready proposal, with a human credit officer in control at every stage.

01

Data Intake & Extraction

Financial statements, management accounts, bureau data and relationship history are ingested, and the extraction layer converts source documents into structured information.

  • Financial statements
  • Management accounts
  • Bureau data
  • Relationship history

Information that cannot be confidently extracted is flagged for human confirmation rather than guessed.

02

Deterministic Financial Analysis

The financial-analysis engine calculates ratios and covenant tests directly from the structured data.

  • Gearing
  • Interest cover
  • Current ratio
  • DSCR
  • Historical trends
  • Covenant tests

Financial calculations are not left to the language model.

03

House-Style AI Drafting

First-draft credit proposals are generated using the lender's own historical approved proposals as reference.

  • Structure
  • Tone
  • Risk language
  • Ratio commentary
  • Proposal conventions

The objective is for drafts to read as though prepared in that institution's established credit-writing style.

04

Hybrid Risk-Flag Layer

The generated narrative is cross-checked against the underlying financial information to surface issues.

  • Covenant breaches
  • Declining financial trends
  • Sector-specific risks
  • Narrative/financial inconsistencies
05

Portfolio Consistency Engine

A new proposal is compared against the lender's own history of approved and declined deals.

  • Consistency issues
  • Fairness issues
  • Differences in risk treatment
  • Relevant historical precedent
06

Human Review & Track Changes

The credit officer reviews every AI-generated section before anything moves forward.

  • Edit
  • Review
  • Accept
  • Reject
  • Add notes
  • Track changes

AI does not replace the credit officer.

07

Committee Packaging

The final proposal is prepared in the lender's committee-paper structure, including supporting schedules and appendices where applicable.

  • Committee-paper structure
  • Supporting schedules
  • Appendices
08

Outcome Tracking

Proposal outcomes are tracked and can feed back into the system to improve future drafting and risk suggestions.

  • Approved
  • Declined
  • Amended

Differentiators

Between origination platforms, generic AI and risk analytics

Lender-Specific

Unlike generic AI, the drafting model is adapted to each lender's own historical proposals.

Deterministic

Financial calculations are separated from generative AI.

Portfolio-Aware

New proposals can be compared with historical lending decisions.

Human-in-the-Loop

Credit professionals remain responsible for reviewing and deciding.

Audit-Friendly

The product roadmap includes audit trails, version history and compliance-oriented controls.

Development continues across six R&D workstreams: LLM optimisation and fine-tuning, risk-flag detection, portfolio-consistency embeddings, compliance and audit trail, API and loan-origination-system partnerships, and adjacent verticals such as trade finance and asset finance. Roadmap capabilities are described as planned, not as already deployed.

Trust

Designed for Regulated Lending Environments

The first pilot is planned as a sandbox / non-production environment using synthetic borrower data. CreditNarrate AI is a technology vendor serving regulated lenders and does not hold certifications it has not yet obtained.

  • Human-in-the-loop workflow
  • Deterministic financial calculations
  • Audit trail
  • Role-based access controls
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Logical lender data segregation
  • Planned security testing and compliance pathway

How it works

From Financial Data to Committee-Ready Proposal

Eight steps, in order. Illustrative examples in our business plan show that a process which can take several hours manually may be substantially reduced through automation — these are illustrative, not guaranteed results.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Financial statements, bureau data and relationship information enter the workflow.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    Financial ratios, trends and covenant tests are calculated using the deterministic analysis engine.

  3. 03

    Draft

    The lender-specific AI generates the first proposal narrative in the institution's house style.

  4. 04

    Verify

    The risk layer cross-checks the narrative against the underlying financial figures.

  5. 05

    Compare

    Portfolio-consistency analysis compares the proposal against historical lender decisions.

  6. 06

    Review

    A human credit officer reviews, edits and approves the proposal content.

  7. 07

    Package

    The final proposal is formatted for credit committee review.

  8. 08

    Learn

    Approval, decline and amendment outcomes provide feedback for future recommendations.

Questions from credit and risk teams

Everything below reflects how the platform is designed to work today and what is explicitly planned.

CreditNarrate AI is a UK-focused B2B SaaS platform that automates the narrative-writing component of commercial and SME credit underwriting.

Banks, building societies, credit unions and alternative/specialist lenders.

No. The platform assists with analysis, drafting, verification and proposal preparation. The lending decision remains under human control.

The house-style drafting model is designed to learn from that lender's historical approved credit proposals.

Through a deterministic financial-analysis engine rather than relying on the language model to infer numerical results.

Yes. The risk-flag layer cross-checks AI-generated narrative against underlying financial figures and can surface issues such as covenant breaches, declining trends and narrative/financial inconsistencies.

The portfolio-consistency capability compares new proposals against the lender's own historical approved and declined deals to surface potential consistency and fairness issues.

Yes. Human review and editing are fundamental to the product design.
