These days, plenty of people are considering starting up a small business of their own, either because of layoffs, because of difficulty in getting a job in the current market, or simply because they have always had a dream of working for their own self, but before you will be able to start a small business of your own, you will probably be in need of a small business loan; the good news about getting a small business loan is that as long as you know what you are doing, the process is not that difficult at all.

The first major step in getting a loan to start your small business will be writing a detailed business plan; this business plan should project at least the first 3 years of your business, and should be as detailed as you can make it - including everything from your startup expenses to your projected month by month profits over this span of time that the business plan covers.

In trying to figure out where to go for this business loan, many people automatically think of going to a national bank, but because of the state of the economy these days, it can actually be more difficult right now to get a loan from a national bank; the simple truth is, you may in fact be better off setting up a meeting with the bank manager of a local bank, as this will enable you to make a connection with someone who is high in the local business hierarchy while also giving you a better chance of procuring that loan.

And finally, it will be necessary for you to do your monthly debt to income ratio for the bank, and you will have to give them a record of your last 3 income tax returns; after you have taken these steps, they will do a credit check on you, and if all goes well they will be ready to give you that small business loan, and you will be ready to get your business up and running.

The dream of running your own business is certainly one that is fully attainable, and when you know the steps you must take in order to procure a small business loan, you will be that much closer to making this dream a reality!
