400;\">Self-employed borrowers can usually get the same types of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as larger organisations, although this type of financing may require you to provide collateral or at least a personal guarantee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a rundown of the most popular types of self-employed small business loan:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Bank loans<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lower borrowing costs<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most bank loans come as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/short-term-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">term loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you borrow a lump sum and then pay it back in regular instalments. Interest charges and fees on bank loans tend to be lower than finance from other lenders, but to get this type of loan you will typically need a good credit score (680+), steady revenues and at least two years in business. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Online lender loans<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Easier approval, fast application processing<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have the necessary time in business or sufficient credit score or revenues to obtain a bank loan, you may do better to apply for a term loan or other type of self-employed small business loan from online or alternative lenders. These providers tend to move faster, have more relaxed qualifying rules and offer a wider range of loan options for self-employed business owners than traditional banks. You may even be able to get the funds you need with a score in the 500s, only a few months in business and erratic revenues. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Business line of credit<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maximum flexibility\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/business-line-of-credit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business line of credit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> functions like a high-value credit card but comes with lower interest rates and fees. Self-employed borrowers can withdraw as much as they want when they want from a loan facility up to the limit of their borrowing. You only pay interest on the amount you withdraw, not the whole credit line. This kind of financing is ideal for independent business owners that want maximum financial flexibility and lower borrowing costs. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Merchant cash advance<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As your sales grow, your credit limit increases<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available for self-employed businesses that accept customer payments by credit and debit card. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/merchant-cash-advance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cash advance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is borrowed against the value of your card sales. As your card sales increase, your borrowing limit goes up. Pay the loan back with a fixed percentage of your card sales on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Your card sales act as security, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Invoice financing<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Get paid in hours or a few days instead of waiting weeks<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/accounts-receivable-financing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">account receivables financing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, invoice financing allows self-employed businesses to borrow against the value of their unpaid invoices. The lender may provide up to 95% of the invoice value within a few days or even hours of the bill being raised. Your invoices act as security, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a22a89 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a22a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to get a loan when you're self-employed<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d34846b answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d34846b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a business loan when you\u2019re self-employed is seldom easy, but you can improve your chances of loan approval by following these steps:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Proof of steady revenues:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lenders like to see your income is steady and profitable.

However, you may have a daily cash withdrawal limit and you could pay cash advance fees and ATM fees to access the money. Credit card cash advances also usually have a higher interest rate than standard card purchases.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Home equity financing<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your home is worth more than you owe on it, or you own the property outright, you could get a home equity loan. This type of financing will give you a cash lump sum and use your home as collateral for the loan. Repayment terms on home equity loans can be as long as 10 years or more. However, your home is at risk if you fail to make your payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Loans from family or friends<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many self-employed business owners borrow money from family and friends, especially when they are trying to get a new venture off the ground. However, using funds from loved ones can often be a source of contention if the ground rules are not clear from the beginning. If you have access to this type of financing opportunity, make sure your funders know if they are providing a loan, a gift or an investment from the start. If there are plans to pay the money back, put this down in writing with a clear repayment schedule \u2013 including a plan of action if things do not turn out as expected and you cannot pay the funds back on time, or at all. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4436f4a question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4436f4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get started with Swoop's business funding platform<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b15f28 answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8b15f28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter if you\u2019re seeking your first self-employed loan or you\u2019re a seasoned borrower, working with business finance experts can make all the difference when applying for your funding.
