What you can do to increase my chances of getting my loan approved
If you are really looking for a business loan, you need to evaluate how you spend your money within the business. Once you have managed to find common ground about what is necessary and what isn’t better.
Like any other entrepreneur, you should try your level best to save as much as you can. There is no telling when you might need an advance plan in the future so you need to ensure that your credit profile isn’t negatively compromised.
My business loan application was turned down
As much as they would like to help everyone that comes knocking on their doors or drops an email to them, they can’t help a business that isn’t coping financially. This is usually the common reason why they will have no other choice but to decline your business loan application.
They will always give you valid reasons as to why they had to decline your credit request. This doesn’t stop you from applying again in the future if you see that you can afford a business loan with Mercantile Bank. They will still help you and your business.
