How to prepare for a small business loan as a Prattville, AL retail store

Start with the cost and the payback: what the money buys, how much it is, and which sales will cover the payment. Then pull twelve months of bank statements and the last two tax returns, and list every loan, lease and advance with its payment. A store that has these ready can answer a partner's first questions on the first call.

Check the personal credit reports of every owner for errors, and make sure the business name matches across the bank account, license and returns.
