Call then go see a small local bank or credit union, ask for the commercial loans dept. I would let them tell me where I'm at and what I need to do to be loan worthy. You don't necessarily need to do whatever they say but it would be informative and costs you nothing. Get out of your comfort zone and expose yourself... to rejection.
