Annotation:

The source that I used was an Academic Journal called “Financing Successful Small Business Project.” I

feel as if this article should support its thesis statement because its analysis data from 323 bank loans

granted by 28 banks. This information also looked combination of collateral and interest rates. The

article itself was written in 2014. However, the article itself references several articles that are 10 or more

years old. I feel is if the article is very credible because they research several sources all which were

relevant to the topic. The article only dealt with Spanish Banks. It didn’t reference anything towards

Western or American. This source does help with my research question because you may need to find a

bank to start your business with.
