There are many types of small business loans with varying criteria. In order to qualify for the best loan for your business, it helps to know what creditors are most interested in. Improving your company's finances in the following areas may improve your odds of getting one in the future.
- The likelihood of repayment for a business based on payment history. Improving your personal and business credit while submitting a loan application can also help you land a loan.
- Cash flow, measures a borrower's ability to repay a loan based on their available funds. The ability to maintain a positive cash flow indicates you will be able to repay your loans and be a good client for lenders. Another measure you can take is to request a smaller loan principal.
- Small business capital is a measure of a small business owner's investment in his or her business. Higher self-investment shows lenders you're willing to work hard.
- Besides the health of the business, it is also important to consider how the funds will be used. Do you want to expand and grow, or will your small business loan simply allow your company to survive for another week? You want lenders to feel confident that your company will remain in business for the foreseeable future.
- In case a borrower is unable to repay a business loan, collateral can assist creditors and help improve a business owner's chances of securing a better rate.
