Quote from davidlatham on August 11, 2026, 11:35 amI am getting ready to talk to a bank about financing a new business and have been trying to look at the application from the lender’s perspective. They need to see that this is realistic and that the company can handle the money responsibly. That’s why I’m preparing a business plan for bank financing instead of just putting together a basic summary of the idea. I’d like to hear from other business owners about what they did to make their funding application stronger and what they would do differently next time.
