Using business funding
Can you use a business loan for personal expenses?
Business funding is meant for business purposes, and most contracts say so in a use-of-proceeds clause. Using it for personal costs can breach the contract and muddle the business's records.
Can you use a business loan for rent?
Usually, yes. Rent on business premises is an operating cost, and working capital financing commonly covers it during a timing gap. Check the contract's permitted uses.
Can I use a business loan to pay myself a salary?
A reasonable wage paid through payroll is generally a business expense. Many contracts restrict owner distributions or using proceeds for anything other than stated purposes. Read the clause, and ask your accountant how to pay yourself properly.
Is money from a merchant cash advance borrowed money?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan; it is a purchase of future receivables. The merchant cash advance page covers the mechanics.
Applying
What does the form ask?
First name, last name, email, phone and business name, plus a consent checkbox. The purpose comes up when we phone you.
Do lending partners pull credit?
Most partners review business credit and the credit of each owner. Ask what kind of inquiry a partner will make before you authorize it.
What do partners usually want to see?
Recent business bank statements, and depending on the request, tax returns, financial statements or a quote. How a request moves lists the usual items.
Twin Falls, ID and Idaho questions
Is the City of Twin Falls the same as Twin Falls County, ID?
No. They share a name but are separate governments, and county statistics cover the whole county, not only the city. The Twin Falls, ID business license guide explains which office handles what.
Where does a new Idaho business register?
Entities such as LLCs are filed with the Idaho Secretary of State; tax accounts are a separate registration. Starting a business in Idaho and the seller's permit guide cover both.
