Where To Best Obtain Merchant Capital For Your Business

Filed Under Business Loans, Credit

For many business owners one of the biggest problems they face is the lack of accessible funding to help improve their businesses. Very few lending institutions will offer a merchant any real capital and the major financial lenders don’t offer anything to business owners who have bad credit as they’re considered to be unsafe. And when you’re a woman it seems as if the doors are even more firmly shut when it comes to gaining credit.

Many small business owners find themselves unable to access any credit services because they don’t separate their own personal credit history with that of their business. If you’re a small business owner, it’s important for you to separate the two and to have your company registered. You should also have a separate checking account for your business. Once these details are taken care of, you have a better chance of securing a business line of credit or a merchant capital source.

The capital that you can receive can come in the form of business cash advances, commercial real estate loans, small business loans, or credit factoring services. You have to fill out an application form and organize certain documentation for your application to be considered. You money can be approved in as little as 7-10 days, depending on the amount requested and how detailed your application form is. Merchant capital can even be offered without any collateral whatsoever – if your credit history is solid enough. You can then use your capital to improve or expand your business as you see fit.

One particularly popular form of business capital are small business administration (SBA) loans. These loans are guaranteed by the government which makes them less of a risk for lenders. Plus they only require a 10% down payment. These loans have a repayment period of up to 25 years depending on what the loan is used for. You can borrow large amounts and can use the money to make real estate purchases; you can also borrow less and use it for working capital or operating expenses.

SBA loans are a good first choice for most business owners. Their guarantee and low buy-in makes them very attractive. To learn more, visit the Small Business Administration website at www.sba.gov for more information as well as counseling and training.
