Choosing a structure
How do I know which kind of funding to look at?
Begin with the cost itself and the revenue that will repay it. All six structures compared sets them side by side.
Can an owner draw a salary from business loan proceeds?
Funding raised by the business has to serve the business. A reasonable salary run through payroll is normally a business expense, but many agreements limit owner draws and distributions. Check the agreement's use-of-funds wording with your accountant.
Should I take a personal loan for the business instead?
Some owners do early on, but it puts personal credit and assets directly behind business risk and does not build the business's own credit history. Weigh that before choosing it.
Is a merchant cash advance treated as a loan in Gaston County, NC?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan; it is a purchase of future receivables. The merchant cash advance page explains how collection works.
Applying
Can a North Carolina LLC get a business loan?
Yes, and many borrowers are LLCs. Partners usually ask for formation records from the North Carolina Secretary of State, business bank statements and tax returns, and a personal guarantee from the main owners.
What does your form ask?
First and last name, email, phone number and business name, with a consent checkbox. The purpose comes up on our call back.
Will a lending partner pull my credit?
Most do during underwriting. Ask whether the inquiry will be soft or hard before you authorize it.
Can you tell me whether I will be approved?
No honest broker can. Lending partners decide by their own criteria. The steps show where the decision is made.
