Be able to clearly articulate your business needs and repayment plan. Business Plans and Financials Have a detailed business plan, whether you're starting a new business or running an existing one. Ensure your financial records are accurate and transparent. Real Estate Considerations Consider leasing rather than buying property initially. Save your cash and park it for unexpected expenses rather than tying it up in real estate. Lending No-Nos Avoid starting any projects or signing leases before loan approvals. Stay open to feedback and be prepared to adapt. Tax Returns and Profitability Aim for profitability on paper when possible; tax returns are crucial for lending decisions.
