My bank is making loans

Last week I mentioned that I was applying for a bank loan (The Green CPA: Local Banks Still Making Loans) and that I would report back on my results.

I stopped by my bank this morning and found out my new business was approved for a VISA card as well as a $10,000 3 to 5-year fixed rate loan to acquire equipment. The loan fee was 1% with a 10 percent rate. This feels a bit steep but there you have it.

I'm sure I could have gotten approved for more but I'm not likely to use this loan since I have access to cheaper sources of money. The point of the story remains the same - local banks with whom you have a relationship are making loans, even in this uncertain market.
