Bankruptcy is a dreaded scenario for any business. Any business cannot pay an outstanding amount, which is then recovered by selling off company assets. This is a simple definition, but the process is complicated and severely affects the credit history of any company.

However, if the business is revived, then getting funds becomes a major issue. Can the business get business loans after bankruptcy? The answer is yes, but there are certain regulations to be followed and some points to remember, they are:

1. Clearing Previous Debts

Bankruptcy involves court cases and outstanding dues. Both should be cleared before applying for any loans. It gives borrowers time to build a better credit history on their front.

2. Improve Credit Rating

Going for unsecured personal loans that have a higher interest rate is an option. If the business bankruptcy case was solved and debts were limited to business, then the personal credit score would be okay. When the payments are done on time, the credit history improves. Once the credit rating goes up, it is possible to get a business loan.

3. Find A Guarantor

A guarantor is a person who takes a guarantee that if the loan is not repaid by the borrower, then, the guarantor pays the debt. Searching for a guarantor can ease the process of borrowing. If the loan borrowed is repaid on time, it will benefit the borrower for future loans.

4. Detailed Business Plan

A detailed business plan is needed to explain how the business model sustains and will generate profit. It should also lay out what is the time required for generating returns. All other details related to running a business in core terms of money and profit should be made clear. A detailed business plan may help in getting loans or a guarantor or both to roll out the business.

More than one business application loan form should be filled out to improve the chances of getting a loan. Also explaining the reason for previous bankruptcy would be good as a genuine reason may sway the lender towards providing business loans.

6. Mortgaging Property

Mortgaging means your property becomes collateral for the lender in exchange for a borrowed amount. The lender may be a bank or any other financial institution or an individual. This is another category of loans where you can mortgage your property for personal loans or business loans.
