Starting a new business? Pure Finance can help you out.
Getting a business off the ground is a lot of work. For many, it means personally supplying a large part of the start-up capital, but in many cases, people rely on business owner loans. Similarly, established businesses also often need to take out loans, especially when they are trying to expand. The cost of these loans – be they from banks, credit unions, or lending services and investors – can be hefty, so business owners must weigh all of the variables before taking one. The value of having the capital supplied by the loan must be worth the inherent risk in borrowing money and the cost of the fees and interest that accumulate and have to be paid (on top of the amount borrowed). In many cases, taking a business owner loan will be worth the risk, especially if any of these four scenarios apply.
You Need To Buy Equipment
In many cases, if you need to buy specialized equipment, the only real option is to take out a loan. Most highly specialized equipment is a considerable investment but one that pays for itself over time. If the equipment adds additional productivity to your business or allows you to increase your product line, the projected increase in revenue associated with it will make it easier to secure a loan for it. Likewise, if you are replacing a piece of equipment that you must have to operate, the decision to use a loan to do so is an easy one.
You Need To Purchase Inventory
In most cases, a business owner loan is not the right way to finance inventory. Since buying inventory is a continual thing, buying should happen using existing funds from previous sales. You shouldn’t be taking out a loan that will be paid back over several years to finance the purchase of rolling inventory. The exception is seasonal businesses that come out of a period of low or no sales and have a huge boom with little time to build up purchasing capital. In these cases, the loan should be a short-term one that can be paid off within your selling season.
You Need To Invest In Real Estate
If you are looking to expand the current operations of a successful business, especially to buy something with its inherent value (like real estate), a loan is the right choice. Similarly, you might use a loan if you’re investing in addition to the property you already own. You shouldn’t be considering expanding if you aren’t forecasting positive growth and already turning a profit, and those factors make it easier for banks to take the risk of giving you the loan.
