What Lenders Evaluate
Credit Profile
Business and personal credit scores, payment history, and outstanding debt all factor into approval and rate.
Cash Flow
Lenders want to see consistent revenue that more than covers your debt obligations — typically 1.20x DSCR or better.
Time in Business
Most lenders want 2+ years in operation. Startups have options but face stricter terms and lower limits.
Collateral
Assets pledged as security reduce lender risk and often lead to better rates and higher approvals.
Documentation
Tax returns, P&Ls, bank statements, and a coherent business plan are table stakes for any application.
Industry & Use
Lenders assess industry risk and want to know specifically how the funds will be used and how that drives repayment.
Loan Types
Financing options available to Idaho business owners.
SBA 7(a) Loan
The most flexible SBA program. Use for equipment, real estate, working capital, or refinancing.
SBA 504 Loan
Fixed below-market rates for major fixed assets. Requires only 10% down.
Equipment Financing
Equipment secures the loan, making approval easier than unsecured options.
Business Line of Credit
Flexible credit to draw on as needed. Pay interest only on what you use.
Commercial Real Estate
Competitive rates for owner-occupied or investment commercial property.
Working Capital
Bridge cash flow gaps, fund inventory, or cover seasonal swings.
