More and more professionals are moving away from a corporate-centered outlook in favor of owning their own businesses. Obtaining funding is a critical early step in your process to becoming CEO of your own business or franchise. In fact, funding is Step 3 in this helpful guide from The U.S. Small Business Administration, right behind writing a business plan, business assistance and training, and choosing a business location.
When making an application for small business funding, be prepared to provide the following documentation:
- Personal background
- Resume
- Business Plan
- Income Tax Returns
- Financial Statements – profit and loss, income statements, balance sheets, etc.
- Legal documents – leases, business license(s), franchise agreements, and other contracts associated with the business
Other documents may be required and are often different from lender to lender, but the above is a good place to start when you start gathering your documentation in anticipation of submitting a loan application.
