JAMES KOCSI WAS WONDERING why a New Jersey busineswoman couldn't get a $75,000 bank loan. Her financial records seemed to be in order, but six different banks had turned her down, says Kocsi, the Newark-based district director for the federal Small Business Administration (SBA).

Then he got a call from one of the bankers, saying the owner had run into his office screaming she was desperate for funds.

"Banks won't give you a loan just because you need the money," says Kocsi. "You've got to give them a sound presentation, backed by facts. Some small-business owners just don't seem to get this point."
