A business loan just like any other borrowed finance from potential lenders comes with an expectation of payment with interest at the maturity date. It can be obtained from lending institutions or individuals, for setting up, revamping, or expanding a business.

The significant factor to remember is that financing is for the business and not personal at this point. Remember that the business targeted for funding is and remains a going concern whose financing is expected to yield a favorable target goal. Consider the following before making good your intent to take a business loan;

  1. What’s the Purpose of the Loan in the Business?

As you’re reminded, the loan is for the benefit of the business, so be specific on the use of the loan. It plays a critical role and has a direct influence on other factors. A business loan can be secured for the following reasons;

  • Start-up:

Borrowing for setting up a new business should be preceded by a feasibility study to develop a business plan. This will inform of the additional finance needed in the business. Borrow less as necessary to limit the interest amount attracted by the principle.

  • Business Improvement and Expansion:

Borrowing to refurbish the capital assets, boosting operation cash, and funding a planned expansion are reasons for borrowing for an existing business. It can be through a fresh or top-up loan. In all these cases there’s the expectation of favorable returns to boost revenue.

 What Are the Terms of the Credit Facility?

With the reminder that the funds beg favorable at the maturity, it need be practical in all the terms surrounding its borrowing as follows;

  • Cost of Collateral and Affordability

Most business loans need collateral to enable the lender to hold on to something, which can be sold off to recover the loaned amount in a dire eventuality. Security can be through deposit amount, capital assets, bonds, invoice collateral, and other confirmed owned properties with enough value to cover the loan amount.

  • Interest Charged;

It’s important as it collectively determines the total amount due back to the lender. Negotiate for a cheaper interest rate to bring down the total repayment amount.

  • Grace and Repayment Periods;

You need to gather information from potential financiers on the amortization of the loan so that you go for the friendliest. Having a grace period too gives you time to organize before actual payment starts.

  • Credit Score Factor   

You need to assess your credit score to enable you to know what amount you can be eligible for. It loosely refers to creditworthiness and payment history for past credits. It influences how lenders view their money while in your possession.

  •  What Type of Loan Suits Your Case?

Assess various loan products by potential lenders for better information on the most suitable. Suitability will be informed by the nature of the business, stage, what to be funded, and the target repayment period.

  •   What’s Your Current Financial Situation?

Your current financial situation easily advises on the payment ability when the loan is secured. It will help determine the average amount that should be expected from the potential lender.

Securing a loan for business is good but only with a clear plan. It can be a daunting task if you have not established what the loan facility is for and the eligibility needed. It should be easy if you take your time to identify which part of the business needs funding and get information on all the requirements.
