Business loans For all business types
Every business irrespective of its type and size needs funds. In an age, when people have to take loans even for routine personal needs, self-financing a business is virtually unfeasible. Business loans can give a concrete shape to the dreams of an aspiring entrepreneur and a new life to an existing business. But, to get the maximum benefits, deciding the right type of business loan is very important. As per their requirement, businesspersons can choose from secured and unsecured business loans.
Secured business loans require collateral – home, property, valuable asset or even your business premises – for the loan amount. As collateral secures the lenders investment, the loan seeker can negotiate for low interest rates and suitable repayment terms and conditions. The bargaining feature of this loan type makes it suitable for large monetary requirements (£50000 to £1000000 approx). Please note that repayment slackness can lead to security seizure. Hence, loan seekers should avoid over borrowing and keep track of their repayment schedules.
Unsecured business loans on the other hand do not require collateral for the loan amount. As there is no collateral to secure the lenders investment, this loan comes with higher interest rates and virtually fixed repayment terms and conditions. In the absence of the bargaining feature, this loan type is suitable for short-term business requirements. Though absence of collateral makes it a comparatively safe option and poses no immediate risks to the borrower, non-repayment or repayment slackness can force the lender to take a legal action.
The approval time of a secured business loan is longer as compared to an unsecured business loan because the entire property evaluation process requires a lot of time. For an unsecured request, the basic approval criterions are past credit record, future repayment capacity, required amount and purpose. Secured loans are majorly availed for new set-ups and major expansions whereas unsecured loans for short-range or urgent business requirements. But, what if a businessperson is neither in a position to offer collateral nor in position to show a positive credit record? Nowadays, lenders have opened arms for bad credit holders too and are offering them a second chance under bad credit business loans.
Besides, the above mentioned types, there a variety of other business loans segregated on need basis like small business loans or micro business loans, commercial real estate loans, franchise start-up loan, business acquisitions loans, equipment financing loans, construction financing loans, equipment leasing loans, etc. Previously, getting a loan support especially for business purposes was not easy, as the credit market was scattered, unplanned and uncontrolled. Earlier the concern was simply approval centric. But, now it has diversified into getting the right type of business loan. So, take advantage of the growing competition by doing a proper market analysis.
How to Bank On Yourself and Get Back the Interest You Pay to Lease or Finance Business Equipment (Page 1 of 3)
What if there was a simple way to bank on yourself and become your OWN source of financing for the business equipment you buy or lease?
You’d make the same profits that banks and leasing companies are now making on you!
Now what if I told you that, by financing things yourself, rather than through an outside lender, you could ALSO get back the ENTIRE cost of the vehicles, equipment, machinery, electronics and buildings you buy or lease for your business?
Impossible, you say?
Oh, but it’s not! In fact, over the last five years, I’ve gotten the last three cars I use for my business for free. PLUS I’ve put all the interest charges I previously paid to finance and leasing companies for cars into my OWN pocket, instead!
It’s not magic although it may seem like it is and it’s easier to do than you might think. What I’m about to reveal to you has (until now!) been a well-kept secret I stumbled on, working since 1990 as a consultant to financial advisors.
Let me show you the power of this strategy which almost any business owner or professional can use to turn the flow of money in your business and personal life from cash OUT to cash IN. I’ll use the cars (or trucks) you buy or lease for your business as an example
Let’s say you were to buy a new $25,000 car every 4 years from age 40-80 (10 cars total). To keep it simple, I’m not factoring in inflation or any trade-ins.
If you finance those 10 cars through a bank or car dealer, it will cost you $289,920, assuming a 7.5% interest rate. If you lease those cars, your cost will be $199,680.
And if you paid cash for the cars, your cost would be $250,000.
However, if you could bank on yourself and finance those 10 cars yourself, at the end of 40 years, you’d have $461,139 in your account! That means the difference between financing the cars through a bank, which would leave you $289,920 in the hole, and financing them yourself, the way I’m about to show you, which would leave you UP $461,139
is $751,059!
And, when you bank on yourself, instead of paying cash, you’d STILL come out $711,139 ahead! ($461,139 + $250,000 = $711,139)
Put another way, you have a choice: You can have the cars AND the money
or just the cars. Which would YOU rather have? (And this strategy can be used to get back the cost of ANY major purchase business or personal not just cars!)
Do you have any idea what financial strategy or vehicle will let you do this?
Well, it’s not a savings or money market account or CD. And it’s not an investment account or retirement plan or IRA. None of them will work, for a number of reasons.
You can accomplish this by using a specially-designed type of life insurance policy. Now please DON’T stop reading if the words “life insurance” turn you off, because this is NOT the kind of life insurance most people know about!
To be able to bank on yourself, instead of lining the pockets of an outside lender, you must use a policy that has been specifically designed to turn a traditional life insurance policy upside down by going for MAXIMUM cash accumulation, while minimizing the death benefit.
