Ravi,
Sorry, but our site resources target commercial lenders to teach them how to improve their skills to provide capital financing to small business owners and entrepreneurs. There is a collection of articles at https://sbfi.org/about/from-the-director/financing-entrepreneurs/ that might provide useful information for you.
All the best,
