  • your personal financial status
  • the expertise of you and your co-workers
  • your credit rating (check this beforehand)
  • a statement of need: short or long-term plans for the funds
  • a repayment schedule

Document checklist:

  • Business tax returns
  • Profit and loss accounts and balance sheet
