Evaluation and Analysis -- Part II

Before you set the wheels in motion toward your new loan, take a step back and evaluate where your company is financially today. In this section we've included a basic evaluation checklist to get you on the right track.

Preliminary evaluation checklist:

  • Budget -- Write up a basic budget of financial needs - rent, staff, machines, research, etc. Also take into account income expectations. When will you start receiving money? How much
  • Amount -- Estimate the amount of the loan you think you will need. What is your comfort level? Will you have enough income to pay back a loan
  • Timing -- Decide when you will need a loan. Will it be immediately, in six weeks, or in four months?
  • Credit history -- Do you have a good credit history? What about your business?
  • Qualifications -- Are you qualified to receive a loan? Do you have collateral? Do you or your management team have experience in this type of business?

We'll cover each of these steps in some detail next. Let's get started.
