What affects the price

When you apply for a business loan, lenders look at a few main things to determine your rate. Your credit score is a big factor, as is how long you have been running your shop or company. They also check your monthly revenue to see how easily you can handle payments. If you have collateral to secure the loan, that can often help lower your interest rate. Generally, these loans typically range from 8% to 25% depending on your specific profile and the type of financing you choose. Everyone’s situation is different, so we provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
