What We Offer In Business Loans, Advice And Support
The Answers You Need To Decide A Business Loan Is Right For You
What is a Business Loan?
- A Business Loan is a loan that is used for commercial purposes.
Are business loans difficult to be approved with banks?
- Every business is unique, and business loans tend to have varied purposes, so it really depends on the circumstances
- In some cases, it may be difficult to seek finding, while in other cases approval may be quite straightforward.
- Most business loans have a shorter loan term than other sorts of loans (e.g. 15 years vs a home loan which would typically have a 30-year loan term), as well as a higher interest rate. This means repayment are generally higher, so businesses need to have sufficient cash flows to meet their repayment obligations.
Is a business loan a better solution than a bank overdraft and why?
- Bank overdrafts tend to start at anywhere to 8-20% for interest rates.
- Business loans start from a round a 4% interest rate, meaning a business loan may often be more cost-effective.
- Business loans attract a 4% + interest rate, which is much lower
- Business loans run for a set term and have an expiry date, whereas overdrafts are a line of credit; there is potentially no end to the debt as it is usually a permanent facility.
- Overdrafts are generally used to manage cash flow and should be discussed with a financial planner or an account, not a finance broker.
Are there different tiers of business loans?
- Different on their size, purpose and the type of industry, business loans are generally managed by different specialist at each lender.
- NBS Home Loans has relationships with a range of specialists across many lenders and can help place your loan with the most appropriate specialist at the right lender for your needs and circumstances.
- Taking ANZ, for an example, loans of up to $300k are managed by one type of specialist, loans of $300k-$1million by another specialist, and lans over $1million by another specialists.
- Banks also have business sector specialists. Loans for childcare centres, for example, may be managed by a different specialist to loans for medical professionals or loans for manufacturing, and so on.
- Banks also have business sector specialists – childcare, for example, goes through a different specialist as opposed to doctors who are referred to another dept, manufacturing to another specialist. and so on. This is to ensure clients deal with an appropriately qualified specialist who best understands the client’s business.
- When lending exceeds a million dollars, loans are usually subject to annual reviews by the lender.
What kinds of securities and guarantees are required for business loans?
- As a general rule, lderns like to see bricks and mortar security.
- Assets such as a car or equipment may also be used a security in some cases.
- In almost all cases you require a “Directors Guarantee”, which is a guarantee that the Directors will be liable for any debt the business cannot repay.
- In some cases, the valuation of a business asset, for example, a fit out, may be used to secure finance.
- Businesses with guaranteed cash flow, such as accountancy and financial planning businesses, may be able to use their ‘books’ as an asset. Examples are an accounts book, financial planning books, loan books, commission trails, etc. Lenders will consider the income level in determining if this is sufficient security in these sorts of cases.

- Credit scoring assigns you a value between – and 1200 based on your credit history. Most lenders like a credit score of at least 600. However, credit scores do not influence the outcome of business loans as much as they influence the outcome of consumer loans (such as home or personal loans).
- Circumstances such as your age can affect your credit score. When scoring for younger people, we don’t expect such a high score as your credit history will be generally shorter. In these sorts of cases, usually anything over 400 we can worth with.

There is no one right answer. Finding the right type of loan for your circumstances and needs is always done on a case by case basis. The type of loan needed, as well as the options available, are unique to each client’s circumstances.
