The form is the short first step. Below: the records to gather, a checklist, what the first step needs, and the steps that follow it.
Documents Cole County, MO landscapers need for a business loan
The form takes no documents. These are the records a funding partner can ask a landscaper for once it reviews the request:
- Checking account statements for the period the partner names
- Last year’s federal return for the business, or the Schedule C of a sole proprietor
- Income and expenses for this year so far, from the books or the accounting software
- Titles or loan papers for trucks and trailers that are already financed
- The dealer’s written price, when new equipment is part of the request
- Mowing or installation agreements with commercial accounts, if there are any
- Photo ID for each owner and the business registration
Restaurants gather a list that differs in two places: card-processing statements sit next to the bank statements, and the equipment price is for a range, a range or a walk-in rather than a mower.
