BANK FINANCING

Banks lend to businesses that have a clear record of profitable operations, that generate a cash flow sufficient to repay the loan, and that have enough collateral or assets to secure the loan. A clean credit record for both the company and the principals of the company is mandatory. Loans can be in the form of traditional loans, asset based lending, or lines of credit and will carry interest charges and usually repayment over a specified time frame. Most start-up companies do not qualify for traditional bank financing unless the founder has the personal net worth and income to guarantee the loan. Many banks participate in Government programs such as SBA and USDA Loans.
