Here are six criteria banks look at when deciding to lend to you:
1. Cash Flow - Your business must show positive cash flow over time.
2. Industry Experience - Lenders want to see you have stood the test of time in your current industry by being in business at least 2 years.
3. Credit Accounts With History - Lenders want to see your track record as a borrower and not only brand new credit accounts.
4. Range of Credit Accounts - Lenders need to see good management of personal and business accounts.
5. History of Same Type of Loan - You need to prove you have been able to repay loans of the same type as the one you are applying for.
6. Existing Business Credit - Show you are currently able to pay a loan, but not so much debt to make lender believe you wouldn't be able to make payments on an additional loan.
