When you invest time and effort into applying for a small business loan, and when your company needs outside funding to thrive, you want to receive approval back from the lender. So, you want to submit the strongest application you possibly can to maximize your chances of your company getting the capital it needs.
There are a few key actions to take when applying for small business loans that can make the difference between that approval you want and the rejection you do not.
Here are four tips to keep in mind when you are trying to get approved for a small business loan.
Pick a Business Loan That Fits
All business loans are certainly not created equal. Doing your research to figure out which loan will best suit your specific business needs will go a long way toward getting approved.
There are a few different parameters to consider when it comes to loans:
Type
Different types of loans bring different terms, conditions and benefits. According to NerdWallet, here are some popular types of financing to explore:
- Term loans: Receive a sum of cash up front and repay it in installments over time.
- SBA loans: Borrow with the U.S. Small Business Administration as a guarantor.
- Line of credit: Think of this like a credit card, but for business funds.
- Invoice factoring/financing: Receive advance payments on your invoices.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced today that Rodney Harrison, a 30-year-veteran of the New York City Police Department, who is currently the Department’s highest-ranking uniformed officer as the 41st Chief of Department, will be retiring on December 30, 2021.
Chief Harrison’s decision means he will be capping a three-decade-long career in the NYPD that began in June of 1991. Born and raised in the City of New York, he grew up in Rochdale Village in Jamaica, Queens, where, at the urging of his father, he came to view a career in law enforcement as an opportunity to create positive change for residents across New York City. He has dedicated his life to making the city safer and, after being shot at by a violent narcotics dealer while working undercover in the mid-1990’s, was awarded the Departmental Combat Cross for extraordinary heroism.
Harrison is the only Member of the Service who has risen from the rank of Cadet to Chief of Department. In January 2018, he became the Chief of Patrol, managing over 20,000 Members of the Service while implementing the NYPD’s Neighborhood Policing philosophy across all operational commands. In December 2019,…

You should know that a Monmouth National Poll shows that 80% of the U.S. population favor voter ID laws and that 70% favor voting in person. It is important that you know that “The for the People Act 2021” known as the (HR1) legislative bill passed in the House of Representatives. All the Democrats voted in favor of it, except one. You should also know that HR1 would do away with all voter ID law requirements, among other drastic changes to our nation’s voting process.
Too often we hear a lot about how to require voters to present an ID card at their polling site is a form of voter suppression. Therefore, requiring a voter ID is somehow racist, because it is geared toward preventing people of color from voting.
Frankly this argument does not hold water. First, because it implies that people of color do not possess ID cards, and as result cannot exercise their right to vote. Therefore, a law that requires the voter to present an ID is racist. To hear this argument, you would think that people of color are living under a rock.
I have often wondered how this is possible. How are voter ID laws racist? Upon analyzing this issue, I found that their argument is in fact quite racist for the following reasons. First it implies that people of color are either too lazy, or too ignorant to acquire an ID card. That we as people of color lack the ability to get something as simple as an ID card or cannot even follow voter instructions.
Then I asked myself if everyone is required to show and ID card when boarding a plane, or when cashing a check, or when applying for a bank loan, or when driving a car, or when opening a bank account, or when entering a government building, or when registering at a college, or going into a hospital or clinic, or even to enter a restaurant to have a decent meal we are required to show an ID, that proves we have been vaccinated, otherwise…

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that the City’s Law Department and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) have filed a lawsuit against L’Officiel USA, the American subsidiary of the French-owned global media company, that operates several print and digital magazines about fashion, beauty, music, film, literature, culture, politics, lifestyle, and wellness. The lawsuit, which was filed in New York County Supreme Court, alleges that L’Officiel has engaged in a pattern of failing to pay freelancers on time or at all, including writers, editors, photographers, videographers, graphic designers and illustrators.
NYC’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act, the first law of its kind in the country, gives freelance workers the legal right to written contracts, timely payment, and freedom from retaliation. While the Law established a Court Navigation Program as one avenue to assist freelancers in getting paid and accessing other resources, it also authorizes the City to file cases against businesses with a systemic pattern and practice of violating the Law.
“Freelancers are a valued part of New York City’s workforce and their work isn’t free,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “We will not allow L’Officiel to get away with reaping the benefits of our talented freelancers without paying them for their hard work. To those who break the law: New York City will hold you accountable.”
“People deserve to get paid for the work they do and freelancers are no different,” said Corporation Counsel Georgia M. Pestana. “As detailed in our complaint, L’Officiel published articles, photography, and illustrations by freelancers but either didn’t pay them at all or sometimes paid them months, even years later. Our first of a kind suit seeks to hold L’Officiel responsible for its consistent and blatant disregard of…
