Continuing our Summer Series on all things finance for your small business! As a small business owner, you want to see your business thrive while you excel at serving your customers, and when it comes to funding, you want to make sure the borrowing process doesn’t distract you from those goals. Learning why businesses borrow, where to turn for funding, and how the lending process works makes for a smoother, smarter, and often more successful outcome.

As you explore financing, you’ll want to answer these questions:

• Should I seek funds?

• What’s the best financing for my business?

• How can I prepare my business to borrow?

A good financing outcome starts with the confidence that securing funds is the right path to achieve the business results you want. The best source of funds will depend on many factors, like your development stage, amount of equity invested, profits accumulated, and funding needed. And your preparation for the lending process will often determine your success in securing financing.
