Glenpine Funding's guides for Maryville, Tennessee owners cover the city's zoning, planning commission and permits, the Tennessee workers comp exemption registry for contractors, the lender types serving Tennessee businesses, and an HVAC equipment financing calculator. This page also gives a documentation checklist, a cash forecast layout and state and county links.
Commercial Loan Documentation Checklist: Seven Records a Blount County, TN Owner Can Gather
- Business bank statements for recent months.
- Business tax returns for recent years, plus the owner's personal returns for a smaller company.
- A year-to-date income statement and a balance sheet dated this month.
- An accounts receivable aging report, if invoices back the request.
- A schedule of existing debt: lender, balance, payment, maturity.
- The quote, purchase agreement, lease or contract behind the request.
- Entity documents: registration, ownership and the business license.
Not every partner wants every item. Having them ready shortens the back-and-forth once a partner names what it needs.
Cash Flow Forecasts for Loan Applications: Thirteen Weeks on One Sheet
A cash flow forecast sets each week's expected receipts against each week's expected bills. Illustration only, invented figures: a contractor expects $182,000 in receipts and $205,000 in payroll, materials and overhead over the next 13 weeks, a shortfall of $23,000 (our arithmetic). Laying it out by week shows when the shortfall peaks and when it closes, which sizes a line of credit or working capital request.
Use actual figures from the bank statements for the past weeks and realistic dates for receipts. A forecast that assumes every customer pays on time tends to understate the gap.
A Business Plan for a Loan Application When the Business Already Runs
For an operating business, a loan application's business plan can be short: what the business does, who its customers are, what the money buys, how that purchase earns its payment, and what happens if it earns less than expected. Two pages with numbers carry more weight than twenty without them.
Attach the evidence: the quote, the signed contract, the lease, the customer's purchase order. A partner reads the plan against the records, so every claim in the plan should match something in the statements.
