The phone line is (419) 616-9680; the request form lives on the apply page. The sections below list questions worth raising about any business loan, using invented Ashland, OH cases for child care equipment, tooling, supply orders and payroll.
An Ashland, OH child care provider's equipment quote and the business loan questions it raises
Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland, OH child care provider holds a $22,750 quote for kitchen equipment, a laundry pair and check-in tablets. Before anything is signed, the useful questions about a business loan for that quote are plain ones:
- Will the equipment itself be the collateral, or will the partner ask for something else?
- What annual rate does the offer carry, and which fees sit on top of it?
- How many monthly payments are there, and what do all of them come to together?
- If the provider pays early, is there a charge, or does the interest simply stop?
- Does the owner have to sign personally as well as the business?
Used child care equipment resells for little, so a partner may treat the request as equipment financing on the items or as working capital; it is worth asking which. The equipment financing page explains how loans and leases tied to specific items work.
What to put to a lending partner before an Ashland County, OH manufacturer pays for new tooling
Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland County, OH manufacturer needs $61,900 of new molds and dies for a customer's part, priced at a 10.45% annual rate. On 36 months the installment is $2,010.44 and interest comes to $10,475.84. Stretched to 48 months, the installment falls to $1,583.35 while interest climbs to $14,100.80.
Which term is better depends on how long the tooling will earn. That is why the questions for a lending partner start with the part program, not the rate:
- Does the schedule end before the molds wear out or the customer's part program ends?
- Is the tooling the only collateral, or does the partner want a lien on other plant equipment?
- Is there a prepayment charge if the customer contract ends early and the plant wants to clear the balance?
- Could the rate move during the 48 or 36 months, or is it locked?
Getting a business loan for supply orders: what an Ashland, OH sign shop can settle first
Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland, OH sign shop orders $9,480 of vinyl, aluminum panels and ink for a run of signs, and the customer pays on delivery about five weeks later. Orders like this come back again and again, which shapes the questions worth settling before any business loan:
- Would a line of credit fit repeat orders better than a new loan each time?
- What does the funding cost in total if the shop clears it as soon as the customer pays?
- Does the partner want to see the customer's order or invoice?
- Is the material itself collateral? Stock bought ahead of a large order has its own write-up on the inventory financing page.
Covering payroll at an Ashland County, OH home health agency? What to have open for the first call
Illustration only, invented figures: an Ashland County, OH home health agency carries $15,700 of biweekly payroll and waits 52 days for a large payment. Depending on the calendar, three or four paydays fall in that wait, $47,100 to $62,800 in wages. For the first call, it helps to have these open:
- the payroll register for the last two pay periods
- what the agency is still owed, and when each amount is expected
- recent business bank statements
- the agency's time in business and yearly revenue, the same ranges the form asks for
- any loan or advance payments already going out
