7 Tips For Securing A Business Loan

7.header (1)

Work out what is realistic

It’s a good idea to find and compare credit options based on the amount of money you need to borrow, how you want it supplied and the type of security you want to provide (residential, non-residential or none at all).

Find a finance broker

The next step is to speak to a finance broker, who can help you work out what loan type and lender are appropriate for your business and you. Finance brokers work with clients to determine their borrowing needs and abilities, select a loan suited to their circumstances and manage the process through to settlement. They also do a lot of the legal and other paperwork, they have access to a wide range of loans and are experts in the area.

Have a clear credit history

Lenders are looking for two things when it comes to your credit status: an existing credit relationship and a relatively clear history. If a borrower already has an existing loan which they’re servicing on time, they are much more likely to be successful. Of course, there are options for those who are either credit impaired or just don’t have a documented credit history, and a finance broker can help clarify these.

Actively show how risk will be minimised

Demonstrate how you will lessen the risk to you and to the lender. Your finance broker can help.

Be prepared

For your first meeting with your finance broker, have up-to-date paperwork and tax records, make sure you’ve done your research and have a fair idea how much you want to borrow and how you plan to spend it. You should also know your total worth, listing your assets and liabilities.

Have a plan

Lenders like to see a business plan that shows that you know what you want to achieve and have a clear idea of how you can achieve it.

Provide more than one exit strategy

Lenders want to know how they’re going to get their money back and some want up to three scenarios for what is called the ‘exit strategy’.
