Does anyone know how hard it is to get get a large loan? I want about 400k for a business idea but obviously I cant just waltz in and get it, I've got a 150k in savings and the loan would be for heavy plant like trucks and generators so can it be secured against them ? Or will I need something like a house to sign over? My dad does have a 500k house and said he could act as guarantor , if he did that could I find a bank to literally just give me 3-400k cash? Although realistically I don't think I could ever do that to him.
You almost never want to sign over personal guarantees for a business. Especially not a home. Its not a very good yolo.
Go talk to the Small business Association rep at your local chamber of commerce. They will help solidify your business plan for a lender/partner presentation.
If its an existing business that you're doing a value added play the SBA guarantees loans up to 20M without special consideration or accounting.
A new business can get 5 Million with the proper paperwork.
