Small Business Loans With Bad Credit

Small Business Loans With Bad Credit

It is possible to get small business loans with bad credit but it’s no easy task. Indeed, more than 80 percent of entrepreneurs with poor credit ratings who make loan applications find themselves being rejected. After all, lenders don’t just want to know that your business will be able to repay the loan. They want to see that you, personally, understand the principles of sound financial management. But before you get too worried, relax. There are steps you can take to improve your chances of being approved.

The first thing you need to do is separate your business from your personal credit. One way to do that is by forming a corporation and applying for an EIN, also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number in the U.S. With that number, you can begin to build business credit that is kept completely separate from your poor personal credit. That way, even if your personal credit rating continues to stay poor, you can keep that from harming your business credit. Also, keep all personal finances out of your professional financial statements. Do everything you can to keep those two realms of your life separate.

Secondly, get an idea of just how bad your credit actually is. Ask for your credit history report, which will indicate your credit score. Credit scores can range everywhere between 300 and 850, and the higher the better. The average American credit score is said to be in the neighbourhood of 677. If you’re above that, then you can stop reading this article now!

If you find your credit score lower than 677, then continue reading. Your chances of getting small business loans with bad credit aren’t completely gone; they’re just lower. Another thing you can do is try to establish a personal rapport with lenders. Get to know all of the financial actors in your life – your accountant, your banker. If your banker knows you on a deeper level, they’re more likely to give your application a second glance over your anonymous competition.

Another thing you could and should be doing is shopping around. Like most other products, the more you know what is available to you the better informed your decision will be – and there is lots available to you to be sure. There is a vast range of interest rates attached to loans. Do your homework and find yourself the lowest interest rates possible.

As entrepreneurs, we need to get used to being knocked down and getting back up again. Whether it’s by our customers, our competition, or our lenders, we need to get used to rejection, learn from our mistakes and bounce back. If one lending institution turns you down, don’t give up. There are many people out there who want to be a part of giving you a second chance – you just need to give them that chance to help.

Getting small business loans with bad credit is not impossible. In fact, it is very possible. Do your homework and get your business going.

Bernard Reber
Back in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
