3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the Illinois licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
