Financial Tips: Some tips when borrowing


Though it's tougher to get credit these days, it's not impossible. Here are some tips to ensure your small-business loan application doesn't get cast aside:


  • Apply at a bank with an appetite for the type of loan you want. Each bank has a different investment philosophy; match your project to a bank's niche.


  • Be prepared to offer collateral such as real estate, stocks, bonds or other personal assets.


  • Know – and if possible, bolster – your credit score before walking in. A borrower's credit score can be just as important as his business plan.
