I wonder edwinn, why you have not put any of the things in place that people here keep suggesting to you.
Your site looks fine, it works fine etc.
However, if your objective is to capture leads ( name and email), then you do not want to send someone that never heard of you , to a form that asks all that personal info.
It has been suggested that you offer a free report of some kind when they submit their name and email. That is still not anywhere on your site.
I would remove all the links to the application form and just put at least one signup form for the free report/book, etc. ( maybe two, one at the top and one at the bottom. )
get your report or ebook or whatever ready,
get your autoresponder ready with the replies with the download link to the report.
then put up the signup form on the web page.
I would leave the copy you have , I think it is fine. However, I would add some copy about the free report they are going to get and then TELL them to sign up for the report.
Once you have their name and email, you can begin your follow up emails to sell them on the idea of applying for a loan.
When you are doing that, you should put your loan application on a secure server (
https://whatever.com ) and not make it a publicly known url. You would put that link in the emails that you are sending out.
Would you go to a website that you know nothing about, and give out personal info about your business? I doubt it, especially if it is not even on a secure server.
by the way, if you decide you want to do a secure server, just talk to your host about how to do it. they will most likely let you use their server to do it with.
