Saratoga Business Loan Application Timeline
Timing varies by lender, product, complexity, and document completeness. No stage guarantees that an offer will be made or that funding will occur by a particular date.

1. Inquiry and preliminary review
The business provides its identity, ownership, revenue range, time in business, requested amount, and use of funds. A provider determines whether to request more information.
2. Documents and underwriting
The lender may review bank statements, tax returns, financial statements, credit, debt, collateral, ownership, and project records.
3. Potential offer and closing
If an offer is made, review the complete agreement, total repayment, payment schedule, fees, guarantees, collateral, and default terms before accepting.
