How Exactly Do Small Business Loans Work?

If you are a small buiness owner or wish to start your own small business, often getting a loan is the only way to keep your business going or to get it off the ground.

There are lenders out there that prey on small businesses, claiming to offer the best loan available, promising them easy pay back terms and low interest rates, But, this is not the case.

But can you actually get a good small business loan? The answer is yes - if you pick the right lender.

This guide will show you how to pick a great lender: how they work, what to look for, and what to avoid.

The Science Behind Small Business Lenders

First of all, small business loans are very different from personal loan, which is a completely different process that has a set of requirements of its own. Small business loans are strictly for businesses that are already in existance. This is because the loan itself will be in the name of the business AND the individual, not just the individual.

Small business lenders use requirements that judge you on risk, how risky is it to lend to you and how likely you are to pay the loan back. These requirements can be set so high that 99% of businesses wouldn't be accepted.

What lenders work?

If you're looking for cash to help you start your small business or keep one going, here the most important things to look for in a lender:

  • Success Rate: how likely is a lender to loan to you.

  • Interest Rates: this is where the low brow lenders will take advantage of you, sometimes charging 200% in interest - high interest rates aren't worth it so make sure you read the fine print and understand the risks!

  • Income: almost all lenders require you to prove business revenue, the minimum range from $10,000 to $50,000 monthly revenue. You prove this with back taxes or bank statements.

  • Length of Business: you will need to be in business for at least 1 year. This will prevent many small businesses from getting loans.

  • Application Process: fast and easy without asking you for personal information like social security number or banking information.
