There are so many factors that should be considered before you make an attempt to obtain a personal loan for your business . You must have enough understanding on the business because you must be able to navigate the business challenges if you really want to achieve success in it. It is also important to have enough knowledge and understanding on how to make repayment and this means that you should have additional sources of income that will be utilized to make repayment without having to deep hands into the business capital.

Apart from those you mentioned , a loan applicant is also required to present collateral, co-makers, and your business plans. It's better to save first so the business owner won't have a headache on how to pay the loan in case his business isn't lucrative.

If you get a loan for your business, it is no longer a personal loan, it is actually a business loan. If you want to get a loan for your business, you need a business that is already making some money

Are you talking about getting a loan to startup the business or a loan for an existing business? If it's for a business startup how sure are you the business would be able to yield enough profit to pay back on time, this is one factor you need to look into.

Applying for a loan for a start up business seems impractical. You haven't started yet so I'm so sure you won't be granted a loan. It's better to save and start operating a small business it will also grow.

I believe one of the factors to consider before obtaining a personal loan for one's business is if one had the means to pay back especially if the business does not succeed.

If you are talking about getting a loan to start a business, I think you have to look for venture capitalist. Banks are very strict when lending money to start-ups. You need collateral and may be a personal guarantor.
