Each lender may have a slightly different process, but these are common steps for applying for an LLC loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>1. Check your credit score<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Some lenders consider business credit reports and scores when making lending decisions. This information is available through Dun &amp; Bradstreet, Equifax and Experian. Small business lenders also typically evaluate your personal credit history and score to determine whether you\u2019re a good fit for a business loan and if so, what interest rate you may be eligible for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional lenders like banks and credit unions generally prefer borrowers with good or excellent credit \u2014 typically a score of 670 or higher \u2014 but it\u2019s possible to find lenders that are more lenient. For example, you may be able to get an SBA loan with a score as low as 640. There are also alternative small business lenders, like online or peer-to-peer lenders, that may work with credit scores in the 600 range, but expect steep borrowing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n    <div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n                    \n                <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n                            <p>\n                    Personal guarantees often required\n                <\/p>\n                        <div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n                \n<p>Limited liability companies offer legal protections from being held personally liable if your business defaults on a loan, but most lenders require all majority owners to sign personal guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>2.

Calculate how much debt you can afford<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>When you apply for an LLC business loan, you\u2019ll need to provide the lender with the amount you wish to borrow and the reason you need the funds. Use a business loan calculator to determine a loan amount that doesn\u2019t create cash flow issues in your company.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you take out a three-year, $10,000 small business loan with an APR of 8%, you\u2019ll pay $313.36 per month and $1,281.09 in interest over the life of the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to tweak the numbers until you find a monthly payment that your business can manage. That way, you\u2019ll know what to expect when shopping for LLC loans. You can also refer to this calculator as you explore lenders and funding opportunities.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You may also gauge how much debt you can afford using your debt-to-income ratio and debt service coverage ratio. Lenders will use these ratios to assess your business finances. The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) calculates how much debt you have as a percentage of your income, and a DTI of 36 percent or less is favorable. The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) calculates how much operating income you have to cover your total debts. Lenders like to see a DSCR of at least 1.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3>\n<strong>4. Compare lenders <\/strong><strong>that work with LLCs<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how much you can afford to borrow, the next step is to start researching lenders. Explore what banks, credit unions and online lenders have to offer. Keep lending criteria, business loan interest rates and loan terms in mind when comparing your options.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Minimum requirements<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Lenders usually require a certain amount of time in business, annual revenue and minimum credit score. You will improve your odds of getting your business loan approved by applying to lenders whose requirements you meet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Repayment terms<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Terms typically range from five to 25 years. While longer terms result in lower monthly payments, they also mean paying more interest over time. Shorter terms help you pay off the loan faster, but come with higher monthly payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Funding speed<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Consider approval and funding timelines if you need the loan proceeds sooner rather than later. Online lenders often can fund your loan within 48 hours, while traditional banks may take a week or longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>5. Gather necessary LLC loan documents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to apply, it\u2019s best to gather the required LLC loan documents the lender will want to see, including:<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Personal information. <\/strong>Name, addresses, resume, income sources and contact information for both you and the company\u2019s co-owners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Company information. <\/strong>Your company\u2019s name and address, tax ID or EIN number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Company financials. <\/strong>Generally includes a combination of two years of balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow projections, income tax returns and business bank account statements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Legal documents. <\/strong>Articles of incorporation, business licensing and proof of business insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Business plan. <\/strong>A document detailing how you intend to use the funds and the financial benefit they\u2019ll provide to your company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Some lenders may request additional documents. And if you\u2019re offered a secured loan, you\u2019ll also need to provide information about the collateral. Inquire with the lender to determine what you\u2019ll need in advance to avoid processing delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n    <div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n                    \n                <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n                            <p>\n                    Secured business loans\n                <\/p>\n                        <div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n                \n<p>A\u00a0secured business loan requires an asset to act as collateral, and some offer low interest rates and favorable terms. If you fail to repay the loan, the lender can repossess the asset and sell it to recoup some costs.<\/p>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>6. Apply for your LLC loan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>You can find an LLC loan through a variety of lenders. Online lenders allow you to complete the entire application process online and upload supporting documents for review. You\u2019ll most likely receive a decision in just within minutes or by the next business day.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A traditional bank lender may take several days to a few weeks to provide a decision, especially if you have to apply for the loan in person. The waiting period is often longer for SBA loans. However, banks often have the lowest interest rates, and building a relationship can improve your chances of securing future financing.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Upon approval, the lender will prepare documents for you to review and sign. Once the loan documents are processed, funds will be disbursed to you. The funding timeline varies by the loan product and lender you select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fees\" data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"LLC loan fees\" data-outcome=\"\"><strong>LLC loan fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s equally important to run the numbers to find the best deal on LLC financing. You may find that the lender offering the lowest interest rate isn\u2019t necessarily the cheapest option if it charges a steep origination fee, and if you plan to pay the loan off early, a prepayment penalty tucked away in the fine print could send your borrowing costs soaring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some common small business loan fees to look for:<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Origination fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Many lenders charge between 1% and 5% of the loan amount when you open a loan to cover the administrative costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Late payment fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>If one of your payments is late, the lender often charges a steep fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Early repayment fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Also called a prepayment penalty, some lenders charge a fee if you pay off your loan early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Servicing fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> There may be an ongoing fee to cover administrative costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Credit check fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Some lenders charge a credit report fee to obtain a copy of your credit report.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Underwriting fee<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> A lender may charge a fee for the loan underwriter to review your application and prepare the loan documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"alternatives\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Alternatives to LLC loans\" data-outcome=\"\"><strong>Alternatives to LLC loans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>If an LLC business loan doesn\u2019t seem like the right fit for your business, consider an LLC loan alternative.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Business grants. <\/strong>A business grant is a free funding source that does not have to be repaid. Business grants are also available to businesses that fall into a specific category, like minority-owned or women-owned companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Crowdfunding. <\/strong>Crowdfunding is a way to source smaller donations from a large number of individuals to fund a certain project or business idea. These individual investors may get a reward in exchange for their donation, such as equity in the business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Business credit cards. <\/strong>Business credit cards operate like traditional credit cards and allow you to re-use the funds, up to the credit limit, as you make payments.

Consider the loan amount you need, interest rates, fees and repayment terms available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Then, compare several lenders before you pick one, and make sure you meet all its requirements. When you are ready to apply, gather the necessary documents. Then, apply either online or in person and wait to hear if you are approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide an LLC loan isn\u2019t right for your business, there are other options.
