Frequently Asked Questions

Who should complete the application for a business?

One primary contact—typically a business owner or authorized representative—should complete the application. A non-owner may complete it if authorized.

How do I give others access to an application?

If other guarantors, co-borrowers, or third parties (like an accountant) need access, they can be invited during the application setup. If not done initially, contact your lender to add them.

What if I don’t have personal info for others listed in the application?

You can invite each individual to complete their own section. Simply enter their name and email address in the application. They’ll receive a secure email invitation to create an account and complete their part.

What documents are required?

The required documents will be listed within the online application and may vary depending on the loan type and parties involved. These typically help us make a credit decision.

What if I don’t have all the required documents?

If you’re missing a document or believe it’s already been provided to the bank, make a note of it on the Documents page of the application. All documentation must be uploaded or explained before submission.
