If you want to retain complete control of your business, but don’t have enough funds to start, consider a small business loan.  To increase your chances of securing a loan, you should have a business plan, cash flow information and financial projections for the next 2-5 years. These tools will give you an idea of how much you’ll need to ask for.  Once you have your materials and information ready, contact BTIB today or download an application, fill it in and email your application form along with the other documentation to assist your loan.
