A pre-application checklist for Canalou

These steps shape the offer you get in Canalou, a place of about 150 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the Missouri regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.

The process is identical across Missouri; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Canalou holds 150 people.
