What You Need to Complete Your Application
2 years of financials and tax returns
To better understand whether your business is in a good position to borrow money, we’ll need copies of your business’s balance sheet, cash flow statement, income statement, and copies of your filed business tax returns.
If you’re a startup or have been in business for less than 2 years, we’ll want to see the financial statements you do have plus your business plan and financial projections.
We’ll use this information to understand your financing need and structure a loan that best fits you and your business’s needs.
✨Tip: If you keep your books current with QuickBooks or a similar accounting software, you can export your financial documents in just a few minutes!
List of any current personal and/or business debt
What other obligations does your business have? We’ll want to know the details about any other loans, credit cards, or lines of credit that you have outstanding. Specifically, we’ll need the 1) the creditor, 2) how much you currently owe, 3) at what interest rate, and 4) the minimum monthly payment.
With these documents, the Honeycomb team will work with you to design a loan that makes the most sense for your business.
✨Tip: We’re typically able to offer several loan options for you to choose, including varying term lengths, personal guaranty requirements, collateralization, and a 60-day payment-free period after the funds are raised!
