Not sure if you qualify for a business loan? Here's all you need to know.
Credit Score
To increase the chances of obtaining a business loan, you must have a good credit rating. As a business owner, your personal credit matters; such that a positive history of repayments makes you eligible for better loan terms in the future.
DSCR
Debt Service Coverage Ratio
An important factor in all business loans is the business's DSCR. DSCR is the Net Operating Income to Annual Debt Service Ratio. This ratio is typically 1.25:1.
Business Value
The chances of securing funding increase if your business has existed for at least two years. A newly-formed business is less likely to obtain a loan due to not having a financial track record.
Collateral
Loans backed by collateral minimize financial risk for lenders. This allows you to potentially borrow more money at a lower interest rate and a longer repayment period.
Industry Risk
The sector that your business operates in also affects your chances of securing a loan. Lenders are more hesitant to loan funds to a business in a volatile industry.
Business Plan
A lender will require a business plan that outlines your financial expectations based upon future projections of your business.
