Hi Cate,

Great points here about how things really work. In fact, another problem you can run into is an issue with collateral. Even if you have great credit, a bank may be unwilling to lend you money if you have no assets to put up and no personal money invested. Again, the concern is, If you have nothing to risk, why would the bank risk its funds? Thanks for sharing with the BizSugar community.
