Business owner seeking help with editorial policy

Editorial standards

Editorial Policy

The editorial policy explains how My Business Loans develops, reviews, and distinguishes educational financing content from marketplace promotion. The goal is practical clarity without invented claims or guaranteed outcomes.

Standards

How financing content should be prepared

Content should help a business understand purpose, structure, cost, qualification, documentation, timing, and risk.

Accuracy and scope

Use supportable descriptions, identify uncertainty, and avoid presenting time-sensitive program terms as permanent.

Clear marketplace disclosure

State when My Business Loans is not the lender and when provider decisions or compensation relationships matter.

No invented proof

Do not fabricate testimonials, approval rates, financed amounts, reviews, rankings, partnerships, or credentials.

Support specialist reviewing details related to editorial policy

Review process

Separate facts, estimates, and opinions

  • Use official or primary references for program and regulatory details when available
  • Label illustrative scenarios and calculator outputs clearly
  • Explain comparison criteria rather than declaring a universal best option
  • Correct material errors and review pages when products or rules change
  • Keep commercial calls to action separate from unsupported editorial conclusions

Conflicts

Compensation does not make a product suitable

Advertising or referral relationships can influence marketplace presentation. Users should compare complete terms and make an independent decision.

Editorial content is general information and is not a lending commitment, legal advice, tax advice, or individualized financial advice.
