What affects the price

When you apply for a business loan, lenders look at a few main things to set your rate. Your credit history is a big one, as it shows how you’ve handled debt before. They also check your monthly revenue and how long you have been running the shop. If your business has collateral to offer, like equipment or real estate, that can often help secure better terms. Generally, interest rates might typically range from 8% to 25% depending on your specific profile and the type of financing you choose. We break down your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
