5 Things Holding You Back From a Loan & How Invoice Factoring can Help

Business owners may be mentally ready to expand their businesses, but they may not have the necessary finances to make a move. Many budding entrepreneurs turn to large banks and other financial institutions for a personal loan to help get their dreams off the ground.

Unfortunately, many small businesses and new owners are turned down for a standard loan for a variety of reasons. Here is our look at five of the most common things that could hold you back from a business loan and how alternative lenders can help you eliminate expensive traditions and pave the way for your business’ success through invoice factoring.

1.  Your Personal and Business Credit

It’s a fact that the success of a personal or business loan from a bank relies on the borrower’s credit history. If your credit history is poor or non-existent, this is one of the biggest reasons why large banks would not be able to step in and provide a traditional loan or line of credit.

2.  Your Business Has Minimal Cash Flow

Unpaid invoices mean that your business is consistently losing money. Aside from your creditworthiness, your business’ cash flow is one of the first things a lender will look at. If you don’t have the cash coming in to settle your debts, you’re likely going to be denied your loan.

3.  Too Many Loan Applications

Loan applications will follow you around and eventually add up. If a lender sees that you have several pending applications, this is a red flag to them that your credit has taken a hit and you are likely going to have trouble paying off a substantial loan.

4.  You Don’t Have Financial Experts on Your Side

If you don’t have a financial specialist in your company or a certified financial advisor, you won’t have the knowledge on your side to make sound financial decisions when it comes to obtaining funds.

A financial expert will be able to tell you the truth about your finances and guide you in the right direction that helps you meet your business goals.

5.  You’ve Lost the Flair of Your Pitch

When a business is eager to expand, they will typically have a pitch to present to lenders with the hope that their excitement will lead to a positive response. Unfortunately, after a slew of rejections, some people may be unable to keep the energy of their pitch alive, and come off as a business owner who could take or leave any financial opportunities granted to them.

Fortunately, not all financial institutions will judge you on the excitement of your pitch or even your business’ credit. Find out how this could benefit your efforts!
