Types of loans for business purposes

In terms of the types of loans that you can use for business purposes, it all depends on what you're trying to do. The key thing here is to have a very clear view on what the funding will do for the business. So as an example, if you needed funding to buy stock, so you were a retailer and you were taking funding to buy stock, you need something that gives you the flexibility to be able to settle early, so you can calculate your margins. So then you can go, okay, I can take a working capital facility or a revolving credit facility that will just charge me per month or per day or for 30 days. And then at the end of the 90 days, I can pay back the loan. And then I can look at the cost of the loan and take that cost out of my margins as a business. So that's the business purpose. Ultimately, it comes down to having a very clear view of what you're trying to do as a business. And once you have a clear view of what you're trying to do as a business, then look for a facility that you think will service that. There are a lot of products in the market, and it's not always easy as a SME owner to know what products you should use. I think that's where a good broker like Funding Bay will come in, because we can have an independent conversation with you without tying you to any particular product. Just tell us what the situation is, what you're trying to do, what you're trying to achieve, and what your dream facility would be like, even if you don't know the name. And then we can sort of advise you or give you suggestions. And then hopefully, we'll look to match you up with the right product with the right lender.
