Most business owners try to first apply for financing at their bank but according to the Department of Revenue, only about 1.1% of all business funding comes from conventional banks such as SBA loans. Your bank can help you with credit lines and loans, but you MUST have financials and good credit for approval.

SBA loans, conventional loans, most other long term loans, and credit lines do require good personal credit for approval in most cases. Collateral and asset type based financing doesn’t care about personal credit as much. This is if financing only looks at collateral for approval, not financing where collateral is required for approval.
Some lenders, such as advance lenders, don’t need collateral. It still helps them feel more secure in lending you money if you do have assets to show. Many things can work as collateral such as 401k and stocks, real estate, inventory and equipment, purchase orders and receivables, and other items that are easy for a lender to sell and get their money back in case of default.

A corporation may be either a Subchapter S Corporation or a C corporation. An S corporation is a corporation that makes a valid election to be taxed under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, S corporations do not pay any federal income taxes. Instead, the corporation’s income or losses are divided among and passed through to its shareholders. The shareholders must then report the income or loss on their own individual income tax returns.
