    First, identify the reason you need the loan, whether it's for buying a home, starting a business, or managing personal expenses. Knowing your purpose is important, as different types of loans are designed for different needs, guiding you toward the right funding option.

    Lenders will require certain documents from you, which may include income proof, employment confirmation, credit history and purpose of loan. Having these documents ready beforehand will make the application process smoother.
