Probably spent 15 years grooming a local bank. They were more than happy to take our deposits, give us auto and real estate loans but when it came to fiber it was a completely different story. In the end they were worthless. Ended up going with Live Oak, who has been great to work with. Skip the local guys - they don’t understand anything that isn’t real estate or vehicles. Get your books in order, do proper accrual accounting, quit expensing everything, and go find a bank that knows the industry. Stop wasting your time with the idiots.

Had to get them signed over to bank at first but after a few large orders, the bank gave me a $100,000.00 credit line to get ramped up...Always paid on time and never abused it...was on first name basis with VP and loan officer... Not sure if banks are this open to help small businesses anymore...can't hurt to try....good luck On Thu, Feb 3, 2022, 3:18 PM Steve Jones <[email protected]> wrote: Ive never done business loans before, just mortgage and personal. Do lenders consider contracts to be future revenue? Where is the best type of lender to look for with no business history? The local lender with the mortgages and local personal loans? National lenders? What about if 2021 deatroyed your personal credit to a fair rating, is a business loan even an option even with a contract exceeding the loan amount by 80 percent? Is the sba an actual resource to invest time into for starting something up, or is it like BBB. Aside from the loan question, when getting into underground work (laying pipe, and cablework) what expenses outside labor, insurance, maintenance(vehicle, equipment, staff lodging/per diem, fuel, etc), tax/workmans comp, etc do you come across?
