The Biggest Mistakes in Small Business Loans



The Biggest Mistakes in Small Business Loans 

The right small business loans make a significant difference in your business’s success.  As a new business owner, you realize that there is an increased importance of having the necessary funds available to you.  When you don’t have enough funds, you can’t handle the demand that is placed upon you and you won’t have the buying power that you need or the emergency funds to push off those very bad situations that could put your business in jeopardy.  The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities for you to make the right decisions.  To do that, learn how to avoid the largest mistakes that most individuals and small business owners make when starting their business.

Top Mistakes Made In Business

Consider the risks that you are taking and make sure you don’t make the mistakes that many others make.

•    The largest reason that businesses fail isn’t money, but poor planning.  Poor management of the business is likely the reason your business will fail.  But, it’s only one factor.
•    Another very important reason businesses fail is because of inadequate funding.  If you have too little or not enough financing, your business can and likely will fail.
•    Having enough capital easily accessible is quite important.  Businesses fail because of their inability to stay up and running when funds are tight.
•    The skills in managing those funds are just as important.  You need to make sure that the person managing money isn’t spending too much but is spending enough to keep the business running correctly. 
•    The wrong loan may be obtained.  Costly interest rates, poor terms or the wrong type of loan can cause a serious problem for any business.  When selecting a small business loan, knowing which type you need and in what amount is vitally important.

Alternative Financing Options

A great option to consider would be iSmallBizCredit “LINE OF FINANCE”. Over at iSmallBizCredit we've strategically formed a relationship with a fortune 500 payment technology company. Combining their expertise in the electronic payment industry, and iSmallBizCredit expertise in the realm of alternative business financing, we've been able to create a very simple process for all small businesses to obtain the capital they truly need without an extensive time in business, without an extraordinary FICO score, and the process takes no more than one week from start to finish with payments that fluctuate with the way your business is performing. It actually functions as a Line of Credit. Your business will always have access to capital as long as you continue to work with our processing partner. You only pay for the money that you use when you use it.

See below on how a Business Cash Advance works from iSmallBizCredit: 

Apply with us. (One page application, the last 4 months business bank statements, and the last 3 months credit card processing statements.) 
  • We put together an application for approval with our partner. 
  • After you receive approval you must move onto our platform in order for us to generate a quote. 
  • Within 24 hours of processing with our partner on our platform, we will have your quote furnished and have you funded within one week. 
  • Capital can then be accessed every 90 days within 24 hours. 
 
Miscalculations are common problems that small business lenders face.  Often, good intentions are there, but when poor management coupled with poor financial backing come together, the end result is the risk of the business failing.  You need to learn what the correct amount to borrow is.  Don’t underestimate the cost of borrowing money either.  It’s essential to put together a package that can deliver for your business not just any small business loan will work.  Consider the ability of your financial manager in these aspects.
