Frequently Asked Questions
- How many months of statements do handymen need for a business loan?
- Most lenders require 3 months for a bank-statement loan and 12 to 24 months for an SBA loan. Start with 12 months to be safe for any lender type.
- Can I use personal bank statements for my handyman business loan?
- Yes, if your business income is deposited into a personal account. Some lenders prefer a dedicated business account, so opening one before applying can strengthen your application.
- What average daily balance do lenders want to see?
- Most small business lenders want to see an average daily balance of at least 10 percent of the loan amount requested. A $50,000 loan generally requires a $5,000 average balance minimum.
- Will seasonal income hurt my handyman loan application?
- Seasonal dips are common in skilled trades and lenders understand this. Providing 12 months of statements that show strong spring and summer earnings usually offsets winter slowdowns.
