Getting a Bank Loan or Credit |
Bankers like good character and good credit, but
they live for solid collateral. Equipment, buildings and trucks--that's the kind
of stuff that bankers really like for collateral--solid value and likely to be
worth a lot even if the business goes bust. The first place to start when it comes to finding a bank loan or credit is not with your banker, accountant or lawyer but with you. In the case of most small businesses, the business is the owner so your credit history is important in getting a loan.
The criteria for business loans varies much more widely than for consumer loans and often varies quite a bit from one banker to the next at even the same bank.
Basically, you establish a credit rating by buying things on credit and paying back the money you owe. Your loan repayment history plays a big part in establishing your credit rating, but all your "credit" dealings make up the history that's used to determine your credit rating.
Banks favor an established businessperson with a solid credit rating, a sizeable bank account, and experience in the business they propose to enter, and business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not one, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is a start-up, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business. Lenders will ask for an awful lot of questions, and it takes a great deal of work to put it all together. |
|
The probability of getting your loan approved goes up if the degree of
risk associated with lending you money goes down. To lower your risk and
improve your odds of getting the loan, you need to anticipate the question
lenders will ask you. You need to present your banker insights into your
business that may enable him or her to easily approve your loan........

Market segmentation: Know your Market |
|
The most effective way to market a small business is to create a well rounded program that combines sales activities with the marketing tactics. The sales activities not only decrease marketing expense but also add the value of interacting with prospective customers and clients. Small businesses generally have a limited marketing budget. A market segment should be measurable, accessible by communication and distributed channels, different in its response to marketing mix, durable and substantial enough to be profitable. Marketing is based on the importance of customers to a business and has two important principles:
1. All company policies and activities should be directed toward satisfying customer needs.
2. Profitable sales volume is more important than maximum sales volume.
