INFORMATION

need to borrow money, having a Business Plan will help you greatly in arranging financing.

to see the entire Business Plan.
-In addition to a Business Plan a lender will want to see some sort of loan application
or proposal that states:
- How much money you wish to borrow.
- What you are going to buy with that money (include quotes).
- What you are going to use as collateral for the loan.
- The current value of assets being used as security.

What are you and/or your partners or shareholders contributing to the business in
cash?
How much money do you wish to borrow?
