You’ve got to get it down on paper. No one wants to talk about ideas with you that are floating around in your head without thoughtful and strategic back-up planning–not potential partners, lenders, vendors, real estate agents–the list goes on and on. A good business plan shows that you are serious, that you know what you are doing, and if you don’t know everything, it shows that you are more than capable of figuring it out. It brands you, explains your products and services, forces you to plan your goals and strategies, spells out agreements, sets values to the business, and is generally a wanted request of a Commercial Hard Money Lender when it gets down to completing a loan application.

If you have no idea as to how to write business plan–how about researching online? There are countless articles and how-to’s about getting started, what you need to know, and why it is important to have a written plan when it comes to requesting a loan or raising funds for your business idea. Most business plans do include the following that Commercial Hard Money Lenders are looking for–a strong executive summary, business and product/service definitions, targeted demographics, marketing/sales plan (online and offline), financials, partners and managers, an overview of yourself and the company, and more–not in that particular order.

Will Your Commercial Hard Money Lender Be Eager To Work With Your Business Plan?

There are many things that a Commercial Hard Money Lender considers when contemplating offering a loan. Your business plan is just one of them.
