In regards to the check box options on an adverse action notice, as a commercial lender, I would like to add “Length of time in business is too short” as we do deny credit to many newly established companies (per our credit policy), so my question is this: Can I create my own reason(s) or are there a specific set of reasons that I need to adhere to? Where does ‘length of time in business too short’ (or verbiage to that effect) fit on an adverse action notice?

Adverse Action Webinar - June 21, 2017 - David Dickinson
I wanted to confirm. David Dickinson said in a recent webinar that if a consumer comes into the bank to inquire about a loan and we know from the initial conversation they will not qualify and after explaining our basic underwriting guidelines we can provide them with an adverse action notice on the spot. We would no have pulled credit. We would not have discouraged them from applying.
Would we use form C-1 to provide the notice?
We would of course keep any documentation with the notice for retention and Fair Lending audits and risk assessments. We would also provide training to our LO's and provide them basic scripts.
Am I on the right track?
