You may still be responsible for collecting the cash from your clients, or the lender (also known as the \u2018factor\u2019) may collect on your behalf.

Based on the size and regularity of their total revenues, (not just their credit card sales), businesses may receive a lump sum and pay it back over a short-term schedule, typically by small deductions from their daily sales. This type of loan can usually be secured quickly as qualification rules are less intensive and credit scores are not so critical.

However, they often require collateral or a personal guarantee that makes you personally responsible for the debt, not your business.

The application process is usually online, fast, streamlined and does away with the need for piles of paperwork &#8211; in many cases you won\u2019t even need a formal business structure to apply. Business credit cards are also great for building a good credit history if you pay off the balance every month. You may even get free travel and shopping rewards with the points you accrue.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>External investors<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re seeking outside investment, there are networks of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/equity-financing\/how-to-get-venture-capital-funding\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">venture capitalists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and angel investors readily available online.

This will mean you giving up a share of your ownership and may loosen your overall control of the business. Some investors may also want higher <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loan-calculator\/dividend-calculator\/\">dividends<\/a> or royalty payments as well as their share of equity. Venture capitalists and angel investors are also notoriously picky about the businesses they choose to back. You could spend many months pursuing one lead after another before you find the right match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Crowdfunding<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available via various online platforms, crowdfunding can bring in large sums if your presentation hits the right spot. Although it may be tough to raise $100k in small donations from hundreds of donors, this cash is essentially free as there is no interest to pay and you do not need to repay the money if you spend it where you said you would. An eye-catching idea and a powerful pitch is essential to succeed with this funding option.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e3a7a1 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0e3a7a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to qualify for a $100,000 business loan<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-182514f answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"182514f\" data-element_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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business loans for $100,000 or less can be obtained from almost any lender, but loans from banks and credit unions typically come with lower interest rates and stricter rules of approval, whereas loans from online and alternative lenders may cost you more but approval rules are easier. As a rule of thumb, the larger the sum you are trying to borrow, the harder lenders will look at your business and your application.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How to improve your chances of getting approved<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can improve your chances of getting approved for a $100k or less business loan by preparing in advance. Key tasks to take care of include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Identify your need for the loan.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Why do you need the money? You must present a strong case for funding to secure a <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/large-business-loans\/\">large business loan<\/a> and your financial records must support this need, indicating how the loan will deliver your plan \u2013 and critically, how you will pay the loan back.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check your personal and business credit scores.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is common for mistakes to occur on credit reports. Incorrect information could have an adverse impact on your loan application. Note that business credit scores are usually graded from 1 to 100 and are different than personal FICO scores. A good business credit score is 80+. Additionally, not all organizations will have a business credit score, in which case, the lender will scrutinize your personal credit report. Ensure it is correct. If there are errors, get them fixed before applying for your loan \u2013 and be aware that fixing a credit score can take time and there are no \u2018fast credit repairs\u2019 despite the many promises from online \u2018credit doctors\u2019 who say they can perform miracles for your score.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Get your paperwork in order.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lenders will need to see bank statements (at least 18 months), balance sheet, profit and loss statements, cashflow projections, list of debts, list of assets, customer database, documents that reveal the structure of your business (corporation, <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/llc-loans\/\">LLC<\/a>, etc.), certificates of good standing, tax statements and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Collateral.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lenders like to know they can get their money back if things go wrong. Often this means you must provide security for the loan \u2013 collateral \u2013 usually in the form of real estate or some other hard asset that the lender can sell to recover their funds if the worst should happen. If you don\u2019t have sufficient collateral yourself, you could ask a cosigner who has real estate or other assets to join the deal. Most lenders will want collateral to the full value of the loan and will usually consider provided assets at less than general market rates \u2013 known as the \u2018distress value\u2019 \u2013 as they may need to sell the assets quickly, often by auction where values tend to be lower.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Build a good business plan and pitch.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This goes back to your need for the loan. Depending on how much you are asking for, lenders will expect a detailed and insightful business plan that explains why you need the funds and what they will do for your business once you have them. Business plans should do more than paint a rosy picture \u2013 explain the risks involved, what the downsides could be &#8211; and how you intend to overcome them. If you cannot produce a business plan yourself, it may be worth paying an external service to do this for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>What affects your chances of getting a business loan?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business loan applications can be affected by a number of different factors:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Credit score<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 typically you need 80+ for business credit and 550+ for personal FICO (600+ with many major banks and credit unions)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Length of time in business<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 start-ups and very young businesses will find it more difficult to secure a business loan<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business track history<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 this means having a strong financial record and a habit of paying your debts on time<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The type of industry you operate in<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 some business sectors are riskier than others<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sufficient documentation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 lenders will need to see accurate and up to date records<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use of funds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 what you want the money for is important.
