- What is the purpose of the business loan
Cashflow, unexpected bill or an asset purchase, if the latter then you may want to consider asset finance, it may potentially be a better product for your business.
- Work out how much you are looking to borrow
If you are looking for a business loan for cashflow purposes, then you may want to use a qualified professional to assist with a cashflow forecast to work out what the potential borrowing will need to be.
- Calculate what you can afford to repay
Work out what the business can afford to repay monthly, remember that though a longer term may bring the monthly payments down, you will pay more in interest over that longer term.
Again, we recommend talking to a qualified professional to assist with this.
- Decide between a secured or unsecured business loan
Some of our lenders will offer both unsecured and secured options, we recommend that you always take independent legal advice before proceeding.
