Wave + SBA Loan Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for sba loan application and using Wave? SBA lenders require 3-12 months of business bank statements to verify revenue, assess cash flow, and determine loan eligibility. Disorganized PDFs delay the application process. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Wave's import feature.

Common Import Issues
Wave's free tier has occasional processing delays on large files. Also, Wave uses MM/DD/YYYY by default which conflicts with UK DD/MM/YYYY — select the correct format during import.
