As a small business owner, our most difficult task is finding the money to operate our business. Taking the necessary steps to prepare for a small business loan can minimize the difficulty. Learn what we need to know to clinch the loan deal.

Fresno, CA -- (SBWire) -- 11/13/2014 --Banks and other lending institutions cite risk factors as their main reason for turning down small business loan requests from startup businesses. Yet, we can still get a loan for our business by proper preparation.

Avoid the common error of thinking we can start with grants from the government and community agencies. It is even more unlikely than getting the money from our own savings, family, friends, or a bank.

The main requirements of attaining a small business loan are our personal credit history, business plan, experience, education, and feasibility of the business we are starting or expanding.

The most important task to obtain a small business loan is preparing a business plan. The business plan needs to show the lender that providing we with a small business loan is a low-risk proposition. Our business plan must answer the questions a lending institution would ask. These questions usually are:

How much money do we need?

If we are starting a business, this should be included at least in the start-up capital estimate. Accuracy is important, so request enough money to invest wisely.

What are we going to do with the money?

We will have to provide, in detail, the designated use of every dollar requested. A small business loan is often needed for: operations (new employees, marketing, etc.), assets (equipment, real estate, etc.), or to pay off business debts.

When will we repay the small business loan?

Explain in detail how this small business loan will serve as a stepping-stone for our business. We will need to convince the lender (with our financial statements and cash flow projections) that we are able to repay the loan through the expected long-term profitability of our business.

What will we do if we don't get the loan?

Let lenders know that rejection will not discourage we from starting or growing our business. We want to portray a confident and determined personality and we will try lender after lender until we receive the money we need to get our business moving.

As a small business owner, we will need a certain degree of fortitude. Be confident and proud of our venture. Let lenders know we are in control and know what's best for us and our business. Understand that lending institutions need to make loans. But if we don't get one, don't get discouraged. Ask the lender why we didn't get the small business loan. Learn from the answer, move on, and try other lenders.

Look locally when shopping for a lender.
