Meeting with your bank to ask for a loan for your business is always going to be a challenge even if you have a profitable business. Here’s a few ideas for you.

It’s important to remember that your loan manager is probably a kind human being who has to adhere to the bank’s rules on lending. The basic ones are:
 That you can repay the loan.
 The loan is business based and for a reasonable reason.
 That your business is viable and bona fida business.

Go to the meeting armed with:
 Your business details such as licenses etc.
 An outline of your business and how you see it expanding in the next few years.
 If you are seeking a large amount of money or have a new business then you must have a business plan.
 How much money you require and when you need it.
 How you will spend it and on what items.
 How your business will benefit, expand or profit from the loan.
 What collateral you can offer the bank – don’t offer this until asked.
 When and how you will repay the loan.

With respect to what you should not say – try not to hide anything – evasion is not a good reflection on your business acumen. If you are asked a difficult question then answer it as honestly as you can – but by putting a good spin on it then you should come out sounding positive.
