Business Loan Advice for Yakima Businesses
Prior to meeting with banks to get a bank loan, you will need to have a specific plan.
You need to be able to clearly explain your business, explain how much you want to borrow, describe what the money will finance, and show  how you intend to  to pay the loan  back to the bank.
Having a  business plan is essential. If the loan  is to for an existing business, you should also have financial statements covering the last three years. You will also need to discuss what collateral you have available to secure  the loan. Collateral is relevant because banks always 
want to be prepared for a worst-case scenario in which cash flow from the business does not meet your projections. 
If the business has few assets, you will likely be asked  to to guarantee the loan with your personal assets, such as the equity in your home. The banks will check on your personal credit history in any case, so hopefully you have good credit history 
                -- you may want to get a copy of your credit history prior to meeting with the banker.
Many of the banks in our list participate in the financial assistance programs available through the SBA. Before you sit down to talk with a small business banker, you may want to read up on  on SBA loans programs to see if you qualify. SBA 7(a) loans, SBA 504 loans and SBA disaster assistance loans may be available to you.
