 TITLE: How to Get a Small Loan CONTENT: How to Apply for a Small Loan\n-----------------------------\nThe application process can vary depending on the lender, but the process is often similar whether you're trying to borrow $1,000 or $10,000.\nMany applications will ask you to share some basic information about yourself, including your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, employment status and overall income. You may also need to verify your information and income by sharing copies of a government-issued ID and pay stubs or tax returns.\nMost personal loan lenders will want to check your credit history and credit scores and use them to determine your loan offer, along with the information you included on your application.\nOnce you get approved for a loan, you can still decide whether to accept or decline a loan offer. If you accept the offer, you may be given a check, cash or have the money transferred to your account in a matter of days. END
