 Know Everything About What Is A Business Loan

Whether you are just starting or expanding your business, you will likely need financing to achieve your business goals. Taking out a business loan is often the best way for entrepreneurs to access capital without losing a share of their business. This article breaks down everything you need to know about business loans.

What Is A Business Loan?

A business loan means a sum of money borrowed to operate a business, repaid over time with interest. Sole proprietors, privately held companies, self-employed individuals, and shopkeepers can apply for these loans.

Business operations require capital, whether for starting up or to make a profit. Banks and NBFCs are willing to lend money if they pay it back with interest according to the agreed-upon tenure.

Types Of A Business Loan

The different types of business loans include:

1. Term Loan

This loan type helps acquire long-term fixed assets such as machinery, buildings, or land. They have a fixed repayment period and a fixed or variable interest rate. A term loan usually has a quarterly or monthly repayment schedule. In India, term loans are usually repaid over two to ten years.

2. Working Capital Loan

The purpose of a working capital loan is to alleviate any financial difficulties that may arise during the business's daily operations. This type of loan is especially valuable during times of seasonal or manufacturing expenses during a sudden cash-flow shortage. A working capital loan is most appropriate for traders, retailers, manufacturers, and other businesses engaged in imports and exports.

3. Start-Up Loan

The purpose of a start-up loan is to help budding businesses get off the ground. Applicants for such loans may lack a strong credit history due to lesser business experience. In such cases, lenders consider the borrower's personal and company credit history when determining loan eligibility.

4. Invoice Financing

Invoice financing is a type of business loan typically when there is a time gap between raising invoices and receiving payments. The invoices are the collateral for the loan. Upon receiving payment, the lender must clear off the debt.
