What Should You Consider When You’re Looking for a Small Business Loan?
The SBA and USDA offer an array of loan options that help people launch and build a flourishing business. GCL helps small business owners access the financing they need at every stage of growth. Small business loans, business lines of credit and term loans give you access to the capital you need, when you need it, without the burden of a large, up-front payment.
Can I qualify for financing?
Most likely. Government-backed SBA loans give small businesses (as defined by the SBA) access to credit at reasonable interest rates. USDA loans do as well. Furthermore, securing a loan and repaying it as scheduled builds your credit score, enabling you to access larger loan amounts and get more favorable terms down the road.
How much do I need?
Loan amounts vary tremendously from business to business. The best course of action is to map out your business plan, then consider your short- and long-term financing needs. You’ll also need to be able to weather the unexpected, from supply chain issues and labor shortages to material shortages and equipment breakdowns. Don’t worry: We’re here to help you.
What type of loan is right for me?
Again, it depends on your business needs and goals. SBA loans and USDA loans (there are many types) can be used to meet a variety of business needs, among them:
- Facility expansion and modernization
- Leasehold improvements
- Buying an existing business
- Building new operations
- Purchasing machinery/equipment/fixtures
- Financing receivables or inventory
- Augmenting working capital
- Refinancing business debt
- Energy efficiency projects
