Five Things Your Bank Better Offer
dd
Reasonable Fees
How will you know if you're getting ripped off? To be honest, you probably won't. Banks use different names for essentially the same services; they also bundle services in different ways, making direct price comparisons tricky. Muddying the waters further, many published fees are open to negotiation, says Eric Zarnikow, director of the SBA's Capital Access Department. Your best bet: Talk to as many people--bankers and entrepreneurs included--as possible.
