The state of Michigan is growing rapidly in terms of their business opportunities and environment. Among their top industries: aerospace, mobility, and defense. Those who specialize in these areas among others are finding the Michigan climate extremely productive for getting their endeavors off the ground as well as for expanding. In 2019, CEO Magazine ranked Michigan 27th among the best places to do business, and it is poised to climb even higher. Michigan's major cities, such as Detroit and Ann Arbor, are starting to offer more and more tax incentives for companies to come into the state. If you're a Michigan business, you look to be in pretty good shape.
That said, as a smaller company especially, it may be tough to find lending solutions for your business. Across the nation, not just in Michigan, banks are implementing stricter standards, weighing FICO scores more heavily and demanding a substantial amount of collateral just to qualify. Many smaller Michigan businesses simply do not meet the criteria.
