SpreadSpace vs TurnKey Lender

SpreadSpace gives commercial lenders the document detail behind a credit decision inside the TurnKey Lender loan workflow. TurnKey Lender remains the origination system while SpreadSpace connects source lines, per-entity cash flow, and the lender’s memo on a shared analysis canvas.

An extracted figure opens its supporting document with the printed line boxed.

Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Separate operations from financing flows

SpreadSpace groups bank transactions by counterparty and brings advances, repayments, and payment cadence into the analysis. A return that identifies an affiliate can reclassify the matching bank counterparty, with the naming line available for review. The analyst sees the relationship behind a cash movement before using it in the credit argument.

Build the spread around the borrower

SpreadSpace puts every entity on the loan on one canvas, where the analyst arranges charts, tables, ratios, and notes freely. A team can compare the borrower and guarantors, open derivations together, and pin comments to the exact item under review. Saved templates preserve the arrangement for the next loan.

Carry the analysis into the memo

SpreadSpace rebuilds the lender’s memo as a company-wide template and imports the reviewed spread visuals at full SVG fidelity. Figures retain their source links, and the analyst writes the narrative around the evidence. Committee review can follow the same numbers and calculations that supported the spread.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

SpreadSpace is the stronger choice for the commercial spread inside TurnKey Lender. Bank transactions reveal counterparty relationships, returns provide rental-property detail and book-basis derivations, and the analyst configures each entity’s debt service from those source lines. Reviewers can inspect the calculations and place the resulting exhibits into the lender’s memo. TurnKey Lender’s rules organize the application decision; SpreadSpace gives the analyst the working evidence needed to assess an individual borrower.

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 adding detailed spreading to an existing loan workflow can embed the workspace and wire the upload webhook in a day.

Where TurnKey Lender falls short

  • TurnKey Lender covers origination, servicing, and collections, so adopting the full platform for spreading brings the broader loan lifecycle into scope.
  • Automated scorecards include rejection rules, requiring the lender to maintain those rules and govern how exceptions receive review.
  • Pricing depends on the requirements and scale of lending operations, so procurement requires a scoped quote for the platform.

Integration
Versioned API and typed integration guides

A public, versioned API includes three typed SDKs, an end-to-end integration guide, and an agent skill file. The integration forwards uploaded files and retrieves extracted data and finalized spread attributes.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Loan-inbox webhook and automatic linking

A webhook forwards each file arriving in the loan’s inbox to SpreadSpace. The active loan links when the uploaded document arrives, and the extracted lines return through the API.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Documents and extraction
Tax lines and supporting schedules

SpreadSpace extracts every credit-bearing line on Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120-S with supporting statements, depreciation and amortization schedules, net operating loss history, and affiliated entities. A large return can yield more than 500 usable lines, each retaining its source detail.

IncludedNot demonstrated
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.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Statement periods rebuilt across workbooks

Audited and unaudited financial statements spread with their own line detail, and Excel periods scattered across tabs or files are rebuilt into a standardized statement. Matching statements for the same entity and year can combine complementary periods while retaining the underlying source detail.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Bank transactions, balances, and relationships

SpreadSpace extracts the printed transactions and daily balances, identifies overdrafts, NSFs, chargebacks, and returned items, and groups activity by counterparty. Financing activity carries advances, repayments, net flows, and observed payment cadence into an implied debt schedule, with uncertain classifications visible for review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Boxed sources through canvas and memo

Source-backed figures open the full document with the line boxed, from the spread and imported memo visuals. Derived totals fold open into the contributing rows, and each source-backed row opens its own document line.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Bank statement analysis
Counterparty classes with business-type detail

Recognizable bank transactions carry an inflow or outflow class and a business type, with operating expense categories such as payroll, advertising, rent, and utilities. Financing, owner activity, internal transfers, and intercompany flows retain separate classifications.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Relationship-level bank transaction review

Transactions group by the counterparty behind them, and the analyst can correct a relationship or an individual transaction. Financing relationships retain advances, repayments, net activity, and observed payment cadence for review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
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.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Persistent classification and value overrides

Analyst classifications survive later automation and remain reversible under audit. With the opt-in permission scope, an extracted value can be edited and reset, and derived figures above that value reflect the change.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Analysis
Tax basis and book basis

SpreadSpace records every return on both a tax basis and a book basis, including depreciation, amortization, and disposition gains or losses, and the analyst can use either one or both. Each derivation opens into its component lines, and unavailable book attributes remain unavailable rather than becoming guessed values.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return-derived cash flow tied to Schedule L

An itemized statement of cash flows derives from the return in operating, investing, and financing blocks, with a bridge and a table that reconcile to the change in cash on Schedule L.

IncludedNot demonstrated
EBITDA add-backs that follow basis

The analyst starts from company statements, the return’s book income, or ordinary business income on a tax basis and chooses add-backs by entity and year. Add-backs follow the basis the analyst chose, with attached statement items available individually.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Rental income and expenses by property

Form 8825, including continuation sheets, and Schedule E Part I become rental-property schedules with income, itemized operating expenses, and depreciation shown with years side by side. Each property’s expense fold retains its printed depreciation line, while Form 4562 and the attached depreciation register provide the supporting detail in the return viewer.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Source-line DSCR by entity and year

The analyst configures DSCR per entity and per year from the documents’ own lines, with historical and pro forma views using proposed debt service. Named recipes save on the loan, and each entity’s calculation appears on the same canvas without combining the entities into one DSCR figure.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Working the spread
Freeform multi-entity spreading canvas

Every business and person on the loan can share one canvas, with no fixed entity cap, and the analyst places, drags, resizes, and groups charts, tables, ratios, and text freely. More than 100 curated visuals and the custom builder provide source-linked graph and table views.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Reusable layout without loan-specific notes

A saved template carries the spread’s visual arrangement and custom graph definitions into another loan of that type. Loan-specific comments, images, source links, property selections, and configured DSCR cards stay out of the template.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Borrowers and guarantors on one canvas

Named businesses reconcile to entities holding their returns and statements, and people collect their K-1s, personal returns, and personal financial statements. Every entity appears in one selector and can be spread side by side on the same canvas.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Review threads linked to source lines

Comment threads pin to charts, tables, or any point on the canvas. Highlighted narrative text links to the exact document line under discussion, and peers share the same review surface.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Company memo with source-linked exhibits

The lender’s existing memo becomes a company-wide template built once and shared by the team, using the same blocks as the spread. Imported charts and tables render at full SVG fidelity, move freely on the page, and keep their source links through memo review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Control and audit
Analyst-controlled analysis settings

Analysts change the spread’s settings, choose its book or tax view, and select source-line adjustments without a configuration project. DSCR is configured on the loan for each entity and year.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Archived actions with targeted undo

Spreading and reporting actions, including undo and redo, enter an immutable archive retained for up to seven years. The analyst can inspect an earlier action and undo it, while board and memo version histories also support restoration.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Restorable board and memo revisions

Saved boards and memos retain version histories that the team can browse, name, and restore. A restore is itself recorded, so the review can return to an earlier arrangement without erasing the history.

Running SpreadSpace with TurnKey Lender

SpreadSpace runs as a tab inside TurnKey Lender, keeping the spread, source drawer, and memo in the loan workflow. A webhook forwards documents from the loan’s inbox, and extracted data returns through the API. The lender keeps TurnKey Lender as the system for the loan record, pipeline, and booking; the embedded workspace and upload webhook take a day to integrate.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace TurnKey Lender?

Yes, for the spreading, analysis, and memo workflow. The lender keeps TurnKey Lender for the loan record, pipeline, and booking. SpreadSpace embeds the detailed review workspace on the loan and returns extracted data through the API.

How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to TurnKey Lender?

A day. The embedded workspace and the upload webhook are the two pieces. A developer follows the versioned API guide, or a coding agent follows the integration skill file, and extracted lines return through the API.

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 TurnKey Lender?
