God says this about diligent individuals: "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." (Proverbs 22:29). Also, God states in His word this: "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand. But the hand of the diligent maketh rich." (Proverbs 10:14). Borrowers should accept the advice of God's Word and be diligent in their pursuit of business startup loans.

Each state has different rules and regulations for the different types of ownership structures. Prior to applying for business startup loans applicants need to ensure that any prospective company owners have the proper vocational licenses to operate the type of company they wish to start. For example, if potential owners want to start and operate a home for mentally challenged adults in Michigan, they will need at least one year of college classes, one year of related experience, current CPR and First Aid training, and specific three week training. If applicants are not sure what the rules and regulations are, they should contact their state department for more information. The state departments might even be able to give advice on how to obtain business startup loans or credible lending institutions that have lending programs.

Lending institutions want their applicants to be successful company owners because successful company will be able to repay the money. All partners, when applying, need to convince the lending institution that they can repay the startup loans.
