“What’s this funding for?”
That’s the question that makes or breaks your capital application.
Most business owners answer it wrong.
If you answer, “general business purposes,” you think that you sound like you’re flexible. OUTCOME = REJECTION because lenders interpret that as, “I don’t have a plan.”
If you answer, “This $200K is for the excavator to fulfill the Johnson project which starts next month.” OUTCOME = FAST-TRACKED to APPROVAL
If you answer, “We need working capital for operations and maybe some equipment.” OUTCOME = LOAN WITH UNFAVORABLE RATES
The more specific you are, the better deal you’ll get. Vague requests, IF they get approved, become expensive debt because of their poor lending rates.
