This is how a business loan works

A commercial loan works in the same way as a regular private loan. The difference is that you are applying for a loan to your company instead of applying for a loan for yourself as an individual. Business loans are available regardless of your type of business. So you can apply for one regardless of whether you have a sole proprietorship, LLC, or a business.

Guaranteed business loans

As with regular private loans, a distinction is usually made between corporate loans with collateral and those without collateral. A secured business loan means that you have to put something in the guarantee that the lender can take from you if you are unable to pay the money back as intended. When it comes to private loans, it usually involves things like a home or a car, but when it comes to corporate loans, it can alternatively have to do with using a creditor or a corporate mortgage. Regardless, a lender takes less financial risk by giving you an extra loan than they would when they give you an unsecured one. If you are not able to pay the money back, the lender can take what you have left as collateral. This may sound like a disadvantage, but the fact that the lender takes less risk in turn means that it can offer you many other advantages. First, with secured loans, you can often borrow more when it comes to corporate loans than when it comes to unsecured loans. The fact that the lender takes on less financial risk also means that they can offer you a lower interest rate when it comes to secured loans. Of course, you and your company will gain a lot from this because it will be cheaper for you to borrow money.

Unsecured corporate loans

An alternative to getting a corporate loan with a security is to take out a loan without collateral. As the name suggests, you do not have to leave anything in safety when it comes to such a loan. This is of course a huge advantage because you do not take as much risk when borrowing money as you do when it comes to a secured loan. However, the downside is that the lender takes on greater financial risk by giving you an unsecured loan. So you have to compensate for that in two different ways. On the other hand, in most cases you do not have the opportunity to get a loan of the same amount when it comes to unsecured loans. In addition, these loans in most cases usually have a much higher interest rate than secured loans. If you have the opportunity to leave something as collateral when borrowing money on behalf of your company, it may be worth doing so.

What is required to obtain a business loan?

What is required then to obtain a business loan? This can vary partly depending on the lender you turn to, and partly what type of company you have and how long it has been in business. In the case of a completely new company, for example, the requirements may be more stringent than with a company that has already been active for two years and has been profitable. It is simply a matter of the lender wanting to be as certain as possible that you and your company can repay the loan. For obvious reasons, they may feel more confident in your ability to do this if you’ve already had a company that’s been in the works for two years and making a profit than when it comes to a completely new company.

It all also depends on whether it is a business loan with or without collateral. In the case of an additional loan, you will need some form of asset that you can provide as collateral. This can be, for example, related to your company’s property, equipment, etc.

If you have a completely new business, or need to borrow money to be able to start one, you will face more stringent requirements for obvious reasons. Since the lender in this case has no evidence that you are actually making a profit and will be able to repay the loan, you will need to reassure them that you will be able to do so in other ways. This may include the fact that you will need to provide the lender with an accurate description of your business plan. The lender, in turn, needs to determine whether or not your business plan is viable, and whether or not it believes that you will be able to repay the loan as intended.

Do you want to borrow a small amount?

Are you looking to lend a small amount of money to your business? Then in most cases you will need to turn to a different type of lender than traditional banks. In many cases, these usually only give you loans of larger amounts. In general, you can say that if you are going to borrow between 5,000-100,000 SEK, you will need to turn to a different type of lender other than a bank. Of course, this is something that can vary from bank to bank.

Avoid the usual pitfalls

There are a number of mistakes companies make when applying for a loan. One of these reasons is that they do not read the terms of the loan carefully enough. Therefore, always make sure to do this so that you do not run into any unpleasant surprises once you accept the loan offer. It is also important to focus on the effective interest rate, not just the nominal. The effective interest rate includes both the nominal interest rate and any other fees that may be added to your loan. By focusing on the effective interest rate, you can get an overall picture of how much it will cost to borrow money, while the nominal interest rate only gives you a partial picture. It is also important that you choose the loan that best suits your company as possible and invest in a lender that you feel safe with.
