- How are interest rates determined on working capital loans?
- An interest rate is the amount of money a lender charges you for taking out a small business loan. If you are approved for a working capital loan, the interest rate on your small business loan can depend on multiple factors, such as:
- The type of loan and financing: Each loan type comes with a different standard range of interest rates. Interest rates for credit cards, for example, are typically higher than interest rates for term loans.
- Type of business: Some businesses are riskier to run than others. Lenders, including Accion Opportunity Fund, will consider what kind of business you’re in when setting your interest rates.
- Time in business: Lenders will also consider how long you’ve been in business — and how steady your business is — before offering you rates.
- Business financials: The stronger a business’s financials, the lower the interest rates lenders will feel comfortable offering.
- Market interest rates: Lenders always look at national benchmark rates before setting their own interest rates. Make sure to look at them yourselfbefore you speak with a lender. That way you can tell whether the interest rate they offer you is higher or lower than average, and you can negotiate your loan terms accordingly.
- Credit score: Most lenders look at both your business and personal credit scores to determine your creditworthiness. The higher your credit scores, the better your interest rate is likely to be. Accion Opportunity Fund looks at other factors beyond your credit score, like cash flow and your tax returnsto determine if we can lend to you.
- Loan term: Lenders often charge lower rates for shorter-term business loans. Generally, the longer the term of the loan, the higher the interest rate will be.
- Collateral: Finally, business owners who can offer collateral will get lower interest rates because the collateral provides extra financial security for the lender.
- An interest rate is the amount of money a lender charges you for taking out a small business loan. If you are approved for a working capital loan, the interest rate on your small business loan can depend on multiple factors, such as:
- Do I need collateral for a working capital loan?
- Your business doesn’t need any specific collateral to be eligible for a working capital loan. This means you don’t have to back up your loan with assets like real estate or equipment. We do ask borrowers to place a blanket lien on loans over $50,000.
