If you’re an entrepreneur with a new business then you may be looking in to startup loans. It can be an uncomfortable experience having your ideas, plans and financials scrutinized by a bank but this article gives you some tips and what’s required of you. We also have a contact in the bank who can organise startup loans up to €120,000 and we can introduce you and get your quote underway.

What the banker generally requires to get your quote

• Business Plan
  
  

• Level and confirmation of applicants own input / funding invested in the business to date
  
  

• Cash flow projections for short, medium & long term
  
  

• Bank statements on all accounts (personal & business) for 12 months
  
  

• Details on prior employment history
  
  

• Confirmation of any grants / assistance
  
  

• If available, contracts or details of work in the pipeline
  
  

We get a lot of startup loan enquiries however, based on our experience it’s only a very small number who progress to application stage. Mostly this is down to budding entrepreneurs thinking about loans before developing their idea & business plan. If this sounds like you, try the Start Your Own Business Programme with the Local Enterprise Office. Or if you really don’t feel confident in producing a business plan and financial modelling we have partners who can assist at reasonable rates. Applications that demonstrate a good level of experience in your industry, as well as having some funds, vehicles or assets committed to the project have the best chances of approval.
