Getting started
Getting ready to apply? These tips will help you get started and secure the right retail business loan for your business.
To start, ask yourself the following questions:
- How do you intend to use your loan?
- What do you need to purchase or upgrade to provide your ideal client experiences?
- Who do you need on your team to make that happen?
- How will you reach and grow your customer base?
Coming prepared with answers to these questions will help decide how your loan funds will be used and how much you’ll need to borrow. Examples of loan uses for your retail business may include:
- Purchasing, building or renovating an ideally located storefront
- Buying, storing and shipping merchandise, whether the goods are produced just for you or drop-shipped from worldwide wholesalers
- Hiring, training and retaining your team, including store staff or outsourced professionals
- Building your customer base through a strategic and targeted marketing plan
Next, it’s time to prepare your business plan. It’s not required, but the process can help you solidify your business ideas. Start by outlining how your business addresses a need in the retail industry, information about your target market, your competitive advantages and your financials. If you’re a startup, this may include financial projections.
It also pays to outline your sales trends and gross profit margin, along with the top products you sell and their price points.
