Understand the Eligibility Criteria & Application Process for New Business Loans

The basic requirement for commercial credit is to hold a current ABN and provide ID. But lenders also request extensive documentation on the financials of the business. Some also require a minimum 12 month trading period. As a start-up enterprise is yet to be operational and a relatively new venture has traded for less than 12 months, the criteria for eligibility and the application process differs from those for standard commercial funding.

We have lenders that do provide financing for start-ups based on their criteria on a low doc, no doc basis. Lenders look for the viability of the enterprise through the business plan. This can be integral to good rates and a workable solution and should be considered as essential.
The financials of the owners/directors and the plans for the business are integral to the application. Lenders will be looking at the creditworthiness and financial position of the owners and/or directors and assets to be used as collateral. Details of assets held by the owner with valuations where possible are strongly advised.

Your Jade broker will be assisting you throughout – advising on the right lender, criteria and processing the application. Get started today.

Comparative Analysis of Start-Up Business Loans with Other Entrepreneurial Financing Options

When starting a new venture, owners may consider a number of options when it comes to the initial funding. These include sourcing traditional financing through brokers, venture capital, angel investors and even crowdfunding. All options can suit the varying requirements of different ventures.

One of the major advantages of business financing through our lenders is maintaining full ownership and most importantly control of the enterprise. Venture capital, angel investors and crowdfunding may include other parties taking a stake in the operation. The level of that stake or direct involvement, may entail the owners conceding a level of control over running their business. Issues which may restrict the owner from proceeding with their plans in their own way.

Compared with start-up business loans, other options may involve a delay which does not work with the plans to start the enterprise. Investors can take time to make their decisions. Crowdfunding campaigns may take months to reach the goal amount. With our individual attention to funding, many applications may be approved within 24 hours. Allowing owners to get moving straight away with their new operation.

Don’t Underestimate the Impact of Credit Scores on Start-Up Business Loan Approval and Terms

Lenders review credit scores and history to assess the creditworthiness of applicants. A start-up business by its very nature, has not had the trading time to build up a credit history or establish a score. When assessing these applications, lenders can look at the credit scores of the business owners and directors.

The credit score is critical to many aspects of the financing. It can affect the interest rate with good scores being offered lower rates and it can affect the loan amount approved. The credit score can also impact the term of the loan. The term, in conjunction with the rate and the amount, determine the repayment amount. A critical figure for any business as repayments must work with cash flow.

Owners can reduce debt levels and follow steps to improve their score. When the loan is approved, the enterprise can start establishing its own good score by meeting repayments. Setting the business up well for good rates and terms on future loan applications.
