Do I have to have my small business set up to be eligible for small business financing program help?

Many times individuals that are going into business believe that they have to have their business operating before they can call up the small business financing program. However in many cases it is the money requirements that hold you back from getting the business started in the first place. In order to qualify for the small business financing program you would have to fill out an application form and have a well-planned business plan in place to produce with your application. Ideally the best solution would be to consult with a qualified representative that can give you guidance in the filling out of your application and business plan and which programs would be the best to apply for.
