Tips on Applying

for a Business Loan By Buddy Rogers | http://EzineArticles.com/7745514

Business loans are excellent tools for individuals with brilliant business ideas but do not have enough financial resources to make these ideas come to life. Whether you’re looking at starting a new venture or expanding an existing one, they can provide you with a solid foundation to ensure its success. They come in various forms and agreements and it’s only a matter of finding the best one for you. When you’re thinking about applying for one, it is important to consider a number of things such as the feasibility of your idea, the most appropriate loan for your venture, and your credibility as a borrower. If you’re not certain about the answers to some of these matters, you always have the option of consulting people with experiences on this field or specialists such as your accountant, lawyer, et cetera. Once you have all these things sorted out, you can proceed to the application actual process. Here are a few things to remember if you’re considering applying for a loan: 1. The most vital part about applying is having a feasible business in mind. When you finally present your proposal to your prospect lender, the bank or financial institution will be asking you all sorts of questions regarding your idea and it is important that you have the best answers for all of them. Among these questions, your lender would be very interested to know about the success rate of your venture. 2. Next, you have to consider what type you need. Choosing the best one can depend on your personal resources or assets or to the needs of your business. Typically, you can select among short term, intermediate and long term accommodations depending on the specific needs of your business. You also have the option of choosing between a secured and unsecured type. Secured loan entails that you have to offer collateral. Usually, this arrangement can offer you a larger amount with lower interest rates compared with an unsecured type since, obviously, lenders prefer to have the insurance that their investment will be returned. 3. When you’ve decided on the kind you’re after, consider its risks or costs. If you set a property as collateral, then you must be extra cautious since secured loans can have tighter policies compared to unsecured ones. Make sure that you read the entire agreement and that you have your lawyer to have it reviewed, and if possible turn it to your advantage. 4. It is also important to consider from the very beginning how you intend to payback your dept. Your lender will be very interested to hear about this so make sure that you come up with a credible plan. Your repayment plan will be included in your agreement so it is important that you and your lender have a common understanding and that you follow the agreed plan religiously. 5. Finally, all these considerations plus many other things are going down to your proposal. Aside from a specific description of your business venture, the amount you intend to borrow and the type of credit you’re after, your prospect lender will also want to know about your credit history and other proofs that can certify your reliability as a borrower. In presenting all these information, it is important that you communicate with your lender about your business honestly and confidently. One of the main reasons that businesses go under today is due to a lack of working capital. Short term working capital loans are great for businesses that have a plan but need a little extra capital to put that plan into motion.

3 TIPS

To Make Your Restaurant Competitive Against National Chains

By Danielle Archer | http://EzineArticles.com/7338185

As a smaller restaurant, competition from large, nationally-known chains can be daunting, but is by no means unsurpassable. Small restaurant owners must bear in mind that they have traits which large chain stores cannot duplicate. In order to survive, and even thrive against competition from a major national brand, small restaurant owners must find ways to accentuate what makes them unique to their advantage. An independent restaurant, or even a branch of a smaller chain, has much more flexibility than a large nation-wide chain restaurant branch. The restaurant industry and customer expectations are by no means fixed entities. As a small restaurant owner you must do constant market research to stay out in front of the trends. Word-of-mouth advertising about innovations has been proven to successfully contend with the mass marketing practices of large chains. Trying to outspend large competitors on advertising is a likely a no-win proposition. As a small chain you can focus on creating local buzz, as opposed to brainwashing the public with mass advertising campaigns. Here are some steps you can take to compete against national chains. 1) Specialize your menu Any restaurant’s success has to begin with its menu. Larger competitors are often encumbered by limited and even stagnant food options. They build on customers’ familiarity with the product. Offering a more diverse menu than larger competitors is a sure-fire way to impress customers. Also staying on top of trends in the industry can help you make larger competitors appear old-fashioned and behind the times. Innovations, such as providing sustainable, localsourced food, or advertising yourself as eco-friendly, can attract customers away from large chains. Also offering special menus for health-conscious customers or those who suffer from allergies can set you apart from competitors. Making the experience personal is an advantage you have over big chains. 2) Offer unique services While offering your clientele food that larger chains don’t offer can set you apart from competitors, offering them unique services is another necessity to make sure patrons choose your establishment. Offering services such as delivery, staying open late into the night and providing entertainment at your venue are all methods of setting yourself apart from competitors. Depending upon the demographics of your area, you can target specific population groups by offering specific services. Gearing your venue specifically toward families by offering specialized kids menus and play areas or targeting the Generation Y crowd by boasting environmentally-friendly practices or fresh herbs and vegetables from a restaurant garden are examples of the flexibility being a small restaurant can afford you. 3) Design a one of a kind venue In addition to offering customers food and services that larger competitors do not, you can also revolutionize your space to set it apart as something special. Interior design and restaurant furniture can help give your space an intimacy that chain restaurants cannot. Adding patio seating or a lounge area are also ways that you can outdo large chains by using your space. Custom dining booths or different genre-styling, such as going for a retro look are other ways to specialize a venue. The key to making your restaurant successful is the same whether or not you are facing competition from a nationally-known brand. Knowing your clientele and what they want is job one for a restaurant owner. While larger competitors can outspend you on marketing campaigns, your flexibility as an independent or franchise of a small chain gives you advantages that can help you not only survive, but thrive.
