Another alternative to seeing a Banker or representative as such, is to seek out professional aid in the form of Consolidating ones Capital resourses.

Any lender wants to know one thing – how will you repay the loan.

The five c's of credit are important. But at the end of the day, you need to be able to answer three questions.
1) What is the cash flow from the business? 2) What are the assets in the business that can be used for collateral? 3) What is the personal credit strength of the owners and what assets can they offer as further collateral for the loan?

Answer these three successfully and your odds of obtaining bank financing improve. If cash flow is weak, then an asset based financing solution from a non-bank lender may be a viable option to consider.
