A strong loan proposal includes a business plan, financial statements, loan purpose, repayment strategy, and supporting documents to show lenders you can repay the loan.

Banks assess credit history, business revenue, debt-to-income ratio, collateral, and your business plan to determine loan eligibility and repayment ability.

Loan amounts depend on business revenue, creditworthiness, industry risk, and lender requirements. Small business loans typically range from $5,000 to $5 million.

Common requirements include business financial statements, tax returns, profit and loss reports, bank statements, a business plan, and legal documents like business registration.
