What are some Business Loan Prerequisites
Hi, I have a seasoned (over a year old) business and have been told a good way to get funding for starting my real-estate journey is through business loans. I do not know if my business can qualify for a loan because of these factors:
- it does not have monthly deposits or income coming in
- it does not have a business/bank account set up under it
- all it has is the letter of confirmation used for the verification process
- the EIN is created but that's all I did really
Where should I start to get my business (an LLC) in good standing to be pre-approved for a business loan? What steps should I take to confirm it is still valid? Is there any licenses, certs, or paperwork I need to fill out? Are their any taxes I need to pay for its creation?
Any info would help me focus my direction and lead me to the right steps.
Thank you for your time, Patrick Peterson
