Like with other forms of financing, you will need to take an honest look at your strengths and weaknesses. Poor personal credit? Then hard money could be your best bet. Low income? Then try NACA or the USDA.

When your company domain matches your business name, it helps with fundability. Pro tip: try to match what people will be searching for online, so if (for example) the word ‘brothers’ is in your company name, then determine if ‘brothers’ or ‘bros’ will be used by people searching for your company and its goods and services online.
After crunching the numbers, choosing the right lender and loan will most likely come down to personal preference. For a term loan or an SBA loan, if you can get either from the bank where you have your business bank account—and all the other variables look good—then that is probably the best way to go. This is because banks have their own internal scoring system and ratings. Using more bank products like a small business loan can help your business out. Better bank ratings can help you get a second small business for more money later. There are reasons to choose where you already have your business bank account which go beyond simple convenience.
One of the biggest advantages of debt financing is, you retain full ownership of your small business. And while you will most likely need to use profits in order to pay debts back, you won’t have to siphon off profits forever. And, without handing over any portion of the business, you are not losing any measure of decision making or control.
For virtually all business loans, particularly if your business is new, you will need to provide a PG. Hence, you provide personal details and they will likely perform a ‘hard pull’ to check your credit history.
To check eligibility, a loan provider will review your business plan. They often check personal credit. Personal FICO score is often a factor in lending terms and interest rate.
