Alice, TX Business Loan Questions: Tax IDs, Past-Due Bills and Requests With No Offer

A funding partner may ask for the business's Employer Identification Number, its federal tax ID. An owner whose business has no EIN, such as a sole proprietor without employees, may be asked for the owner's Social Security number instead, which a partner can also use for a credit check.

Either way, the request form itself asks only for contact details, the company name, time in business, annual revenue and the amount; tax IDs come up later, if a partner asks.

A funding partner can review a request and decline it, and no partner has to make an offer. When that happens, a Jim Wells County, TX owner can call (361) 204-8622 to go back over what the request asked for:

• A smaller amount, sized to one bill instead of several
• A different funding type for the same bill, such as a line draw instead of a fixed loan
• More months of bank statements, once the deposits behind the request have built up
• Holding a new request until an open advance or loan is paid down

None of these makes an offer certain; each partner decides on its own terms, and the owner decides whether to ask again.

• Ask whether the supplier can hold the account open while a funding request is reviewed
• Ask what late charges the invoice carries, so the request covers the real amount
• Keep the next order separate, so one late bill does not empty the shelves
• Say on the call to Southmoor that the bill is past due, and by how many days

An owner with two locations in Jim Wells County, TX can send one request or two, and the business name on each request matters more than the address. It helps to send each request in the name of the business that would carry the payments:

• Both stores under one company: one request can name the bill at either location
• Each store its own company: each request names the company whose bank statements back it
• A bill split between the stores: the call sorts out which company pays which part

A partner may ask for the records of whichever company the request names. The term loans page works through equipment for a second store with invented numbers.
