Loan package
In short
This is the complete set of documents, financial statements, and application forms your lender compiles and submits to the SBA for approval and guaranty. It tells your business's story to the SBA.
What it means in a deal
Your lender will work with you to assemble this, including your personal and business financial data, projections, and a business plan. Ensure all information is accurate and complete, as any deficiencies can delay or jeopardize your loan approval and due diligence.
