WHAT IS A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN?

Small to medium enterprise (SME) lending is a secured or unsecured loan provided to assist with business dealings. Small business lending can be used to pay invoices, creditors, wages, purchase equipment, or simply to assist with day to day operation. The loan size can range from $10k to over $50M.

Why should you consider business loan?

Lenders Don’t Try to Influence How the Money is Spent

Unlike investors, a lender is never going to interfere with how your business is run. If you find an investor, you will have to work alongside them. And unless they’re a silent partner, they will expect to have a say in how their money is spent by the business.

They’re Convenient and Easy to Access

It’s easy to get in contact with Twelve Grains Capital and talk to us about the possibility of taking out a business loan. Most lenders can enable funding in 24-48 hours. Most business owners don’t have time to waste. And waiting for profits to grow in order to reinvest them can take a long time.

Reasonable Interest Rates

It’s true that business loans are more expensive than residential mortgages. But lenders are competing for customers, so they are obliged to offer a deal which is at least in line with what their competitors are offering. Of course, the interest rates are still going to allow enough room for the lenders to see a healthy return on their profits.

The Profits Will be All Yours

Most business owners take out a business loan because they want to expand their business or push it in a new direction. This means that they want to make it more profitable. If you get this money from an investor, they will expect a return on any money you make.

Who is a sme loan suited for?

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY for a business loan?

Banks are the kind of person who lends you an umbrella when it's sunny and take it away when it's raining - it's much easier to get a business loan when your business is at its peak. It's also a smart thing to do; as the best time to make changes to your business is when it's performing at its best, because you can afford it, and you can leverage on debt instead of reaching into your own pocket or reserve.

However, we understand that running a business is not always rainbows and butterflies, so whenever you need it, we'll be here for you.
