PREPARING FOR SMALL BUSINESS LOANS
You know what you want! You have this great idea! You've
got the plan all mapped out! Your missing one thing,
money! Applying for a business loan can either be a
simple process, or a hard one. It all depends on what
kind of preparation you do prior to application
submission. Below are some preparation tips that will help you
achieve your quest for obtaining the
business funding you are looking for.
Get a copy of your credit report!
Before applying for a business loan, it would be a
good idea to get a copy of your personal credit report.
This will especially be a good idea if your business has
not been in operation for too long. Your personal credit
practices will be reflective of how you will handle your
business expenses.
Another purpose of getting a copy of your credit report
is for
fixing and/or eliminating any errors or outdated information
that hurt your chances of approval. Learn more about
credit reports.
Get copies of your business' financial statements!
Regardless of how much money you are looking to apply
for, you should look to exhibit the financial health of
your business. Showing what the monetary
value of your business is and how much cash flow you
have can only increase your chances for approval. If you can, you should also prepare documentation
of where you financially forecast the business to be over
the next few years.
Make a business plan!
Approval chances increase when you map out exactly
what you intend on using your business loan for. This
will include as much
information as you can including strategies, goals, etc..
You ready!
Apply for your business loan!
Once you have prepared your personal and business
information as thoroughly as you can, apply for a
business loan. The above suggestions will help your
chances for approval. However, having a business plan for
the usage of the money you receive from your financing is
not necessary when you apply for business funding with
