How to repay business loans? Generally speaking, business loan terms are similar to any other loan you may have taken out, like a car loan, private student loan, or mortgage. Once approved, you receive a lump-sum payment of the loan amount, then must repay the money you borrowed over time, plus interest and fees. Usually, business loan terms call for monthly payments for a specified period of time, but sometimes you may have to make payments daily, weekly, or in other time increments.
Term loans A term loan is a traditional loan in which a lender gives an approved business a lump sum of money in exchange for business repayment terms. Because they’re so common, terms are highly variable and will often depend on the business owner’s financial profile, the business’s current financial situation, and the amount of money requested.
Pros of Term Loans • Flexible limits between lenders. • Few restrictions on how you spend the money, making them good for businesses investing in growth. • Many lenders and loan products available, allowing businesses to shop for the best terms. • Can be easier to qualify for than government-backed loans, making them better for new businesses.
Cons of Term Loans • Interest rates can vary widely between lenders. • Personal guarantee or collateral are almost always required. • Poor choice for business owners with bad credit, as they’ll likely have to accept worse terms.
SBA loans SBA loans are partially guaranteed by the American Small Business Administration (SBA), meaning that if a business defaults on the loan, the SBA will pay a portion of the amount owed to the lender. This partial guarantee lowers the risk of the lender not getting any money back, making it more likely to extend a loan to a business it might not otherwise approve. It’s not a subsidized loan, but it can help some businesses get approved.
Pros of SBA Loans • Partial guarantee limits your personal liability for repaying the loan. • High limits make them good options for small businesses looking to grow fast. • Long repayment terms.
Cons of SBA Loans • Difficult to get approved, making them a bad option for borrowers with bad credit. • Slow approval process makes them poor choices for businesses that need cash fast. • Interest rates tend to be high, making them less ideal for businesses with tight margins.
