If you are looking at potentially taking out a loan for 5000 dollars and are wondering, of all the 5000 loans on the market which might be the best one for you, then read on.  This is not going to be rocket science.  The simple fact is that the best way to establish which lenders you should be approaching is to do some desk based research.  Desk based is easiest these days, although in the past in the days before the Internet, you would have had to get out and visit the lenders in the High Street to undertake a similar exercise.

Search around on the web for a number of lenders who seem to be prepared to offer 5000 dollar loans.  You should not be qualifying any of the lenders out at this stage, simple gather information about the application process, the sort of interest rates that they charge, the repayment periods and any other charges that you may end up paying if you select them as a lender.  Make a short list of those lenders who have the best deals available.  Be wary of some of the spin, make sure you read the detail of their advertising so you are not fooled by clever copy.

Once you have your shortlist, start applying.  You will probably get a good deal on your loan if you follow this advice.
