What do lenders look for on credit report for a Marathon County, WI business?

A partner reads a credit report for payment history, current balances, credit used against limits, recent inquiries and any collections or public records. For a small business, the owner's personal report may be read alongside the business's. Check both reports for errors before you send a request, and be ready to explain any late payments.

What do lenders look for on tax returns for a Marathon County, WI business?

Tax returns show profit after expenses, which bank statements do not. A partner compares revenue on the return with deposits, looks at net income and the owner's pay, and checks that the business filed on time. Large write-offs lower taxable income but also lower the income a partner sees, so talk to your tax preparer before a large request.

Line of credit vs loan near Wausau, WI

A line of credit lets you draw and repay repeatedly up to a limit; a loan delivers one lump sum on a fixed schedule. Use a line for repeating, uneven costs and a loan for one purchase. The line of credit page works through two draws.
