What You Need To Apply for a Biz2Credit Term Loan
Before applying for a term loan from Biz2Credit, it's important to know what we are looking for. The process doesn’t
have to be complicated—having the right documents and information can expedite the process.
Here's what you’ll usually need to provide:
1. Basic Business Information
Biz2Credit requires your business name, structure (LLC, corporation, sole proprietorship, etc.), EIN,
industry, and the number of years you’ve been in operation to prove that your small business is an
established one.
2. Business Bank Statements
Biz2Credit requires the last 6 months of your business bank statements. These records provide us with a
snapshot of your cash flow and monthly revenue. Biz2Credit wants to get an idea of whether your business
generates consistent income to support loan repayments. Strong, steady cash flow is one of the clearest
indicators that your business is financially healthy. If you have negative cash flow months, don’t get
discouraged, because with us, it’s not just about numbers. One of our small business lending experts
would be happy to listen to the circumstances surrounding your negative cash flow months and carefully
consider this in the application process.
3. Credit Score (650 Minimum)
Your credit score reflects your borrowing and repayment history. Both FICO and business credit scores may be
reviewed, especially if your business is relatively new. High credit scores demonstrate that
you’ve managed debt responsibly in the past.
4. Tax Returns and Legal Documents
Tax returns are used to verify income and financial stability. Depending on your business structure, we may
also require supporting documents such as business licenses, articles of incorporation, or ownership
agreements. These records give us confidence that your business is legitimate and compliant.
5. Explanation of How Loan Proceeds Will be Used
Biz2Credit wants an explanation on what the proceeds of the term loan will be used for. Biz2Credit will need
a general explanation of how you will use the proceeds of a loan for two reasons - first, we want to make sure
you're borrowing thoughtfully and have a roadmap for repayment. Second, we want to help your business succeed
and grow. Knowing how you plan to use borrowed money helps us in creating a customized loan that is specific
to your unique needs.
6. At Least 12 Months in Operation
Biz2Credit is willing to work with businesses that are at least 12 months old. This demonstrates to us that
you already have a strong track record, and allows us to help you take your business to the next level of
growth.
