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.

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 R100k 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\/za\/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 scores. A good business credit score is 80+. Additionally, not all organiaations will have a business credit score, in which case, the lender will scrutiniae 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, LLC, 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 scores (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.
