Seeking Bank Financing
Applying for financing is a crossroads that every business comes to at one time or another. Despite your confidence in the future of your business, the process is time-consuming, intimidating, and full of opportunities to derail if you don’t do everything right. Different financing resources require different things, but what is common is that the list is typically very long. Most will require one year of bank statements for all accounts, a personal financial statement, several years of tax returns (both business and personal), several year-end financial statements, copies of lease agreements, copies of any other notes or any other obligations, and information about owners and key management. A common error that businesses make that prevents them from getting the financing they’re seeking is not having adequate financial data—either it is historically lacking, or it is not timely or accurate.
