Navigating risks is all part of being a small business owner, and we recognize that as well. This is why we must consider some important factors to assess the health of your business and determine if it’s the right time for you to take on additional debt. Here are the crucial factors we must consider and why:
Personal credit scores provide us insight into how you handle debt on a personal level, which often reflects how you manage debt in your business. If you have bad credit, reach out to one of our financing specialists to see what other options might be available to you.
Lenders prefer businesses with at least two years of operation since this demonstrates a stronger likelihood of success. With two years of operating history, lenders are able to see trends in your sales cycle which helps them to determine what amount, terms and repayment arrangements will benefit your business.
Consistent annual revenue is important to demonstrate your business’s financial stability and ability to make payments. We would never want you to take on financing that could lead to financial strain or a negative impact on your business.
Of course, these criteria are only a small part of what is taken into account when assessing loans for small businesses. A more comprehensive set of criteria that considers the business behind the numbers may be used as final financing decisions are made.

Tips on Researching Small Business Loans
Before making a decision to pursue any type of loan, it is crucial that you do some research beforehand. Begin by deciding what exactly you’ll be using your loan to purchase. Evaluate your financial status and examine the options that are available to you, such as equipment loans, lines of credit, and SBA loans to see which best fits your business needs.
Once you know what it is you’re looking for, you’ll be better able to match a loan type to your specific needs. Explore various lenders, carefully considering their base rates, prime rates, fees, eligibility requirements, and customer reviews.
If at any point in your journey, you feel as if you need some expert guidance to make an informed decision, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
Determining if you need a small business loan depends on your current financial situation and business goals.
If you’re looking to expand, invest in new equipment, manage cash flow gaps, or seize growth opportunities, a loan could be very beneficial to your business. Assess your specific needs, evaluate available resources, and consider the potential return on investment. It’s essential to weigh the benefits of financing against the associated costs and obligations.
To find out how much of a business loan you can afford, it’s best to look at your annual gross sales, creditworthiness, current debts, and overall business health.
Using those numbers, calculate how much of a repayment you can afford and reasonably can manage. Be sure to leave some financial cushion to account for any unexpected expenses.
Finding the most suitable business loan type involves matching your needs with the financing solution that fits them best.
Start by understanding why you need the loan—is it for new equipment, growing your business, or handling day-to-day expenses? How would you prefer to repay it—flexible ongoing access or set payments? Also, think about whether you have collateral and how your credit score comes into play. Consider where your business is at—newer business or established player? Your industry matters too.
Keep your long-term goals in sight. With these factors in mind, explore your financing options and choose the one that has the small business loan rates and terms that best align with your needs and situation.
Finally, consider yourself – the business owner. Specialty programs exist to provide working capital for businesses owned by veterans, minority-owned businesses, and businesses owned by women. While these are not all necessarily loans, they are options that can be considered during your research process.
Applying for a Small Business Loan
When it comes to choosing how to get your service, you’ve got three options: a lender, a marketplace, or hiring a broker – whether it be a traditional bank or an alternative lending company – whether it be a traditional bank or an alternative lending company. Here is how the process will work with each of these three options.
Lender — Work directly with the loan provider. This is the best way to secure a quick business loan to meet your financial needs.
Marketplace — Connect to many different options and online lenders through a platform. Be aware that this method will require you to do some research to find your best match.
Brokers — A broker is the middle-man between you and your funding. Give your broker your information and they handle the task of finding the right service and solution for you. This option will require you to pay for the broker’s services.
To effectively compare your business loan options, it is helpful to focus on key factors like interest rates, repayment terms, fees, and loan amounts. Consider your specific needs, such as loan purpose and how long you plan to take to repay your loan. Evaluate the lender’s reputation, customer reviews, and eligibility criteria. Look into the application process and turnaround time. If you are unsure how to choose the loan that works best for your business, please reach out to one of our financing specialists.
