1. When getting a loan here are things the bank looks for: A business plan detailing the product/service,, customer, location, and financial analysis. Your business experience and how well you understand this industry. Can you make this business work. Do you have personnel on your staff to supplement your lack of skills. history which demonstrates your ability to handle credit. Your personal credit score needs to be well above average. What collateral do you have and how can you guarantee the loan in case of problems. Terms – How much, How long and For what? Can the what be reposed in case of problems? Your equity. They like to see you putting up more than 25% of what you need. If you've never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a consumer electronics business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.

2. Banks look at your credit history and FICO score; if you are a good risk they will lend you money. You need to just apply for a business loan. Find some choices here: http://www.smartaligator.com/creditcard1.html
