6 Common Business Finance Questions
1. What are the Interest rates for business loans?
The interest rate you receive for your business loan will determine how much additional money you pay back over the period of the loan. So the higher the business finance interest rate the more you will pay back.
It is important to review the interest rate you are offered for your loan and to know how much you will pay back in total. If your interest rate is too high you may struggle to meet your repayment obligations and the health of your business could decline.
Rates for a small business loan will vary from lender to lender. The rate your business is offered will be determined by the level of risk to the lender. The overall health of your business will be assessed, as will your credit history.
A secured loan may get you a lower interest rate however you will be limited to a max loan of approx 70% of the value of your asset. The amount your business can receive for an unsecured loan will be assessed by your monthly revenue and overall health of your business.

A lender will need to know if for any reason your business fails there is a way for them to get their money back.
