If your company has poor credit or no credit at all, it can be a real challenge to get any kind of financing but it can be possible. If you are looking for Cashflow Financing, Business Equipment Financing or Business Loans for Companies with Bad Credit, you will need to show that you have relatively stable inflows of funds to your company.
This means you will need to show several months of bank statements with few (preferably none) charge backs or NSF charges as well as a brief explanation of why the credit issues presented themselves and how they have been resolved.
Let's face it, many companies over the last several years have had credit issues and that is not the "deal killer". What is the "deal killer" is the lack of resolve to those issues.
If you have not made these efforts to correct the issues that have presented themselves, getting Business Loans for Companies with Bad Credit is going to be a challenge to say the least.
Should you not be sure where to start to amend these issues, here is a list of places to start:
1. Access the issues of your company's credit. Why did they happen? Do not look at mere symptoms, look at the cause. It is not simply enough to say that your sales dropped off; why did they drop off? What happened to cause this?
2. Once you have determined the issue(s), what did you (or can you) do to alleviate the issue? Document these modifications so that you can review at a later date to see what worked and what did not, then do it again and continuously so that you can always be improving.
3. Now you will be able to show what you did to resolve the problems experienced and you will be in a good position to get Business Loans for Companies with Bad Credit and you will not be just "spinning your wheels and going nowhere".
The next step is realizing you still do have less that desirable credit due to the past but you will be well equipped to speak with funders that deal with these situations. Your traditional banker should not be on the list of funders you speak with. Bank are the most conservative lenders on the planet, you will need to speak with non-bank funders with the understanding that the rates that will be charged, assuming you get approved will be higher than an advertised bank rate, this is part of the credit repair process. These loans are not intended to be forever, they are intended to be a short-term fix while your credit is being repaired so be prepared to take some "lumps". Once you have shown your ability to repay, the next loans you get will be at more "favorable" terms.
This article take a very simplistic view of how the process goes, but it is accurate and to the point. Your company did not get poor credit over night and it will not be fixed overnight either.
Business Loans for Companies with Bad Credit can be done and with the proper planning and execution, they can be done and in time, you can get Business Loans for your Company with Good Credit.
