Once you've determined that an SBA loan or traditional bank loan is the right kind of financing for your business, you'll need to package your financial information in a way that makes it easy for a banker to make a favorable decision. At the most basic level, you will need to provide:
- Basic information about your business
- Basic information about the loan you are requesting
- Financial information about your business
We highly recommend that you work with one of our KCSourceLink network Resource Partners who are skilled in helping business owners prepare themselves to approach funding sources.
