Small business loans

A small business loan can help with equipment, construction, cash flow, and inventory.

A loan to start a business is no different than a loan to buy a house in that you must act in full good faith, full disclosure, and you must use the money for the stated purpose. You don't just take the money from the loan and go shopping. You shop for equipment for your business as stated in the purpose of your loan. Loans always have to be repaid and have the normal credit and collateral requirements for a commercial loan. It's very important to determine how much money you are going to need for your business before you ever open the doors. Any bank is going to ask for a business plan before they give you a loan. There is all kinds of information on www.SBA.gov about financial assistance, financing your business, and using our resource partners to assist you in developing your financial business plan. Our resource partners do not approve loans and can't represent you on your loan, but they can help you in packaging your best effort.


While most loans are for startup construction and equipment costs, a loan can also provide startup cash flow. Most businesses fail in the short-term, because they are undercapitalized and did not anticipate things like lag between buying their inventory, opening their doors, and having somebody walk through the door. Our online library has a series of publications that can be helpful to people on managing cash flow, obligations as an employer, and managing your inventory.
