What are the lenders looking for?

Total deposits counted are deposits from true business revenue.   Transfers, rebate credits and other deposits that do not look like business revenue deposits are not counted.

More deposits are better than fewer deposits.  5 or more deposits on average per month is ideal.

The loan will not close and be withdrawn with an overdrawn account.    The most recent activity shows the current balance.  Make a deposit and then provide a monthly activity statement.
