• Include Revenue Enhancements in your Business Plan: Many of our lending partners are still very keen on gas station loans and particularly gas station upgrade loans. They want to see your plans to maintain or even increase profitability.

• Take advantage of rural business financing if applicable: Did you know that the United States Department of Agriculture offers loan guarantees for small businesses in rural areas?
