Funding questions for a very small business

When a business has two or three people on payroll, the lending partner is in effect reviewing the owner as much as the company. Expect these points to come up:

• A personal guarantee. Most small-business funding includes one, so the owner's credit history matters.
• Bank statements over tax returns. Deposits show the real cash cycle, especially when returns understate it.
• Payments sized to the slow months. A small shop has little cushion, so a modest line of credit or a short working capital term is often safer than a large lump sum.
• Equipment as its own security. A lift, a chair or a cooler financed against itself keeps other assets free.

For a store or restaurant offered a merchant cash advance by its processor: a merchant cash advance is not a loan, and the total it collects should be compared with any loan or line first.

Licenses in Bishopville, SC and Lee County, SC

Check whether the city requires a business license for an address inside Bishopville, and ask Lee County about addresses outside the city. Keep a copy of the current license in the funding file.
