Running a small business can be particularly challenging with numerous expenses. As a result, many business owners would need business finance to start up or run their businesses. SME loans are a form of business financing that enables small businesses to fund their daily operational costs or the financial boost they may need to succeed. They can be used for various purposes, from managing cash flow to business expansion, enabling businesses to grow whilst keeping costs low.
Business Loans can vary for the following reasons:
Loan amount and Loan type
Loan term
Interest rates
Interest rate type (fixed interest rate or variable interest rate)
Security offered
The loan is often provided by a lender or a bank under two types, either as an unsecured business loan or as a secured business loan. A secured business loan requires collateral in business or personal assets as security for the borrowings. An unsecured business loan doesn't require collateral, although lenders may instead ask for a personal guarantee of the business owners. Collateral could be described as something that you or your business owns that you pledge as security for the borrowings and could include property, such as your home or vehicle, equipment, unpaid invoices, inventory, etc.
Everything that you need to know about small business loans
Before applying for small business loans, as business owners, there are things you can do to improve your chances of success. You need to learn about preparing a business plan, checking your finances, and getting expert advice on the best type of finance or loan for your business. It is essential to understand your finances by preparing a cash flow statement to give you a good snapshot of your current income, net profit, all expenses, and planned projections.
Most lenders will want to see your business plan before lending money to overview your financial status and business plans. You should know your limits for finance and your ability to repay the money you borrow. Know how much equity you have and work out if you would need extra funds. Know the maximum repayment you can afford, the credit criteria, fees, charges, terms and conditions. Before you speak to a bank, lender or investor, ensure you're prepared for documentation such as proof of identification, financial statements preferably prepared by an accountant, verification of individual income, bank statements, economic forecasts and your business plan.
You may not be confident answering all the financial questions when you apply for your business loan, so it is always best to get expert advice from a loan consultant at Aus Wealth.
Unsecured Business Loans
Unsecured loans are business funding available to Australian small businesses that do not often meet the banks' strict lending criteria. Unsecured business finance has a higher risk to the lender so the loan repayments are likely to be at higher interest rates & fees resulting in higher borrowing costs.
Unsecured business loans are short-term and allow business owners to borrow funds for their business without using business assets to secure the debt. Unlike secured loans, which require you to borrow against a vehicle or property, unsecured loans are not backed by any tangible security.
This is a popular funding option for small businesses that may not have assets they can provide as collateral for their borrowings. Small unsecured business loans tend to have higher interest rates and often require a director's personal guarantee. This guarantee is a legally binding document that makes the business owner personally liable to pay the loan repayments if the business defaults on a payment. These loan applications are often assessed based on the business's financial health, current cash flow, and the borrower's creditworthiness.
Advantages of an unsecured business loans
The application process for an unsecured business loan is faster and more straightforward than a secured loan. You don't have to go through the many processes involved with secured loans, which means you could access the loan in one business day.
As the loan is unsecured, you don't need to provide collateral for your borrowings.
