Second, 5 small details to improve the pass rate

✅ All documents are uniformly named in English (e.g. Business_License.pdfInstead of Business License.pdf)
✅ Scanning resolution of no less than 300 dpi to ensure clear and readable text
✅ PDF format is superior to JPG/PNG for a more formal appearance
✅ Combine multi-page documents into one PDF, not scattered into a dozen files
✅ Check each item by yourself before submitting it, preferably with the help of a colleague for a second check.

📌 These 5 details may seem simple, but all of the 90%'s knocked back cases stepped on at least one of them.

Third, what happens when you get hit back?

First of all, don't panic.Called back does not mean rejected, just needs to be added or amended.

The right thing to do:

  1. Read each piece of feedback carefully to understand what the other person really wants
  2. Make targeted additions or changes, don't just re-submit all your materials in one fell swoop!
  3. Ask for clarification in a timely manner if there is unclear feedback
  4. Record each piece of feedback to form your own pitfall avoidance list

📞 If you've been called back multiple times and don't know how to make changes, you can contact Enterprise Finance for professional assistance.
