Tips and Resources for a Bad Credit Business Loan

First of all, you need to be realistic. Business loans are difficult to secure for entrepreneurs who have bad personal credit. If your existing business has bad credit, it will also present obstacles to obtaining a business loan.  Order our Program to Obtain a Bad Credit Business Loan: CLICK HERE. 

Here are some tips and advise from ParkAveCredit.com to help you successfully prepare and process application for a business loan:

• Get your own credit report. For the benefits associated with getting your own credit report, and consequences of applying for multiple loans, CLICK HERE
• Analyze the factors that are leading to your bad credit. Lenders will be more understanding about an emergency, like a family illness. They will have little sympathy for people who cannot control their spending.
• Write up a plan with strategies to improve your personal or business credit rating and start today to improve your chances of getting your loan at a reasonable interest rate.
• Focus on your business goal and make a commitment to achieve it. Spend only for essential items or services to stop the cycle of spending more than you can pay.
• Concentrate on paying off credit card debt. These debts carry the highest interest rates on unpaid balances and also demonstrate that you may be unable to control your spending habits.
• Pay your bills on time, including utilities, rent, or mortgage payments.
• Prepare a business plan for your new business, or to document the changes in your existing business. Lenders will want to know how you intend to use the loan and evaluate the likely success of your business plans. This should include your short-term and long-term objectives, income and expense projections, analysis of the marketplace for your service or product. Use the internet, and search for “Small Business Administration”, where you can find FREE formats for a Business Plan and a wealth of other helpful information.
• Keep recent tax returns, financial statements, business cash flow records and other pertinent financial information handy because copies of these items will be requested by lenders.
• For existing businesses, get references from suppliers and clients, your accountant, and attorney to attest to your good business practices.

There are two types of business loans when you have bad credit:

• A short term loan for one year, usually applicable to working capital loans, accounts receivable loans and lines of credit, to cover short term needs.
• A long-term loan for at least seven years, usually applicable to major business expenses such as investment in real estate and facilities, construction, furniture and fixtures, durable equipment purchase, and vehicles.
