Separate and clean up business banking

A dedicated business bank account with consistent deposits is one of the most commonly reviewed signals. Mixing personal and business activity makes revenue harder to verify.

Keep financials current

A current profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and debt schedule reduce back-and-forth during underwriting and help you understand your own repayment capacity before applying.

Know your numbers before you apply

Be ready to explain revenue trends, seasonality, and what the funds will be used for. Clear answers on use of funds are consistently part of the review.
