Applying for a commercial loan is also the first step towards applying for an SBA loan (https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans) - keep in mind only about 20% of business owners can qualify for a long term commercial loan - it’s a good first step, but prepare for other options as well #2 - Business line of credit Now we’re not talking about a 2nd mortgage or HELOC. Lines of credit function more like credit cards - you have access to a pool of money that you can use as needed. As you pay it back, you get access again! #3.
