Business Loan Advice Needed |
|
|
My brother and I are looking at going into business together. We are looking at starting a business in a territory where no business like it exists. The business has a proven model although it is not a franchise as such.
The business in total requires $400,000. This is to open the doors and have about $40,000 working capital.
We have about $40,000 each to contibute which means we need to borrow roughly $160,000 each.
Obviously we will ultimately need to speak to an accountant and the bank. I was hoping to get an idea here firs off as to the likelyhood of getting funding.
I will have $60,000 after selling my home and paying back the loan. I want to keep $20,000 for living and contribute $40,000 to the business.
We wont have security but we will have an attractive business plan.
How do the banks look at this kind of situation? Are there better places to visit other than the banks?
Are there much better alternatives than ANZ's 9.9% business loan rate for example?

I agree no way a bank will give an unsecured loan for anything these days. Good luck

Not a good time to ask the bank for a loan. You might have more luck finding an angel investor.

my family closed their business, because of lack of credit. And they were in business for over 5 years and had established good business credit.
I suggest you look into investors and\or partners with capital.

In order to a get loan from SBA or individual investor you need to present them facts about your business like historical success and as you mentioned "future contract value" that actually exceeds current debts of your business. Best option is to prepare a business plan that describes your management potential, capacity to grow and edge over competitors.

Business Loan Advice |
|
|
In order to negotiate a small business loan, successfully, entrepreneurs must be able to think like the banker. The small business owner must provide information in a coherent, logical manner that answers questions, even before they are asked.
You have to keep few things in your mind they are
* Loan Purpose Analysis,
* Repayment Source Analysis,
* Loan Structure, and
* Loan Management
Or you can go for financial helper/Loan lender as well as an investor. Who deliver funds on demand and he give funds out to make profits. He give funds with interest rate of just 5% or more or even laser then that depends on him and this is to make sure the best minimum profit and as well to see that you get to the best need of the person giving the Loan.

I understand this probably isn't feasible, but is there any chance you could bootstrap the business with the money that the two of you are able to cobble together?
You would have to start smaller, but as you grow you could potentially grow to encompass the vision that you currently have. Think lease instead of purchasing, try to use the cash flow supplied by your wholesalers, things like that.
With the vague description, hard to say if this advice helps, but good luck!

Some credit is granted on an unsecured basis, such as credit cards, but most small business loans are secured by the assets of your business, your personal assets, or both. Unsecured means that there is no collateral granted for the loan.
Whereas ,secured loans mean that there are assets pledged to secure the payment in the event you are not able to pay.
I am not sure if you will be able to get any unsecured loan as per the current scenario of the banks.
