Business loan application checklist for a New Iberia, LA machinery repair shop, split into now and later
The request itself is short. The longer checklist comes later, if a funding partner takes the request further. A New Iberia, LA machinery repair shop can split it in two.
For the form today: who to call back and how, what the company is called, and three rough figures (years running, yearly sales, the sum needed).
Later, if a partner asks for them:
- Bank statements for the account where the shop's customer payments land.
- The last business tax return, plus owner returns if the partner wants them.
- A dealer quote for the machine, or the invoice for the repair parts.
- A list of loans, leases and advances still being paid, with the monthly amounts.
- Formation papers showing who owns what share of the shop.
The how it works page goes further into the documents a partner may ask for.
What do you need to apply for a business loan through this form? A New Iberia, LA machinery repair shop's answers
Very little at the start. Past the contact lines and the company name, the form asks for ranges instead of exact figures, and each range means something simple:
- Time in business: how long the shop has been operating. A close estimate is enough to pick the range.
- Annual revenue: what the shop takes in over a year before expenses. Last year's total from the books or the tax return is a sound guide.
- Requested amount: the sum the cost calls for. For a machinery repair shop, that might be a machine quote less any cash put down, or a parts order plus the payroll that falls before the customer pays.
A consent box closes the form. Nothing on it asks what the money is for; the purpose gets talked through by phone.
