    SMES​ ​and​ ​the​ ​short-term​ ​loan    It​ ​takes​ ​immense​ ​courage​ ​to​ ​begin​ ​your​ ​business,​ ​and​ ​taking​ ​risks​ ​of​ ​establishing,​ ​sustaining,​ ​and  expanding​ ​it​ ​can​ ​be​ ​prohibitive​ ​for​ ​many.​ ​Financing​ ​is​ ​the​ ​fundamental​ ​issue​ ​here,​ ​and​ ​many  businesses​ ​are​ ​compelled​ ​to​ ​shut​ ​shop​ ​or​ ​to​ ​approach​ ​banks​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​raise​ ​short-term​ ​business  loans.    Finances​ ​are​ ​the​ ​lifeblood​ ​for​ ​any​ ​small​ ​business​ ​loans​​ ​enterprise,​ ​and​ ​any​ ​business​ ​plan​ ​worth​ ​its  salt​ ​must​ ​include​ ​sound​ ​planning​ ​for​ ​fund​ ​sources​ ​as​ ​well.​ ​Short-term​ ​business​ ​loans​ ​and​ ​short-term  finance​ ​are​ ​available​ ​in​ ​plenty​ ​and​ ​offer​ ​SMEs​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​overcome​ ​their​ ​temporary​ ​financial  problems​ ​as​ ​also​ ​provide​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​expand​ ​their​ ​business.​ ​However,​ ​these​ ​loans​ ​are​ ​not  without​ ​pitfalls.​ ​Here​ ​are​ ​some​ ​tips​ ​that​ ​will​ ​help​ ​an​ ​SME​ ​to​ ​take​ ​a​ ​well-considered​ ​decision​ ​when​ ​it  comes​ ​to​ ​applying​ ​for​ ​short-term​ ​business​ ​loans:    1.​​ ​Do​ ​your​ ​homework    SMEs​ ​are​ ​recommended​ ​to​ ​do​ ​adequate​ ​research​ ​to​ ​identify​ ​the​ ​option​ ​that​ ​are​ ​most​ ​suitable​ ​to  them.​ ​Occasionally,​ ​and​ ​especially​ ​if​ ​the​ ​borrower​ ​has​ ​a​ ​good​ ​credit​ ​score,​ ​a​ ​simple​ ​overdraft​ ​or​ ​line  of​ ​credit​ ​can​ ​help​ ​the​ ​SME​ ​to​ ​tide​ ​over​ ​their​ ​cash​ ​flow​ ​problems.​ ​Bank​ ​loans​ ​carry​ ​low-interest​ ​rates, 

but​ ​the​ ​paperwork​ ​involved​ ​and​ ​time​ ​taken​ ​to​ ​sanction​ ​can​ ​be​ ​burdensome.​ ​Crowdfunding,  inventory​ ​financing,​ ​and​ ​credit​ ​card​ ​financing​ ​are​ ​options​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​explored.​ ​Promoters​ ​also​ ​help  to​ ​finance​ ​a​ ​large​ ​chunk​ ​of​ ​working​ ​capital​ ​requirements.​ ​But​ ​if​ ​a​ ​short-term​ ​loan​ ​is​ ​a​ ​final​ ​option,​ ​a  careful​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​costs​ ​involved​ ​can​ ​help​ ​to​ ​tip​ ​the​ ​scales​ ​over.    2.​ ​Try​ ​online​ ​loans    Short-term​ ​online​ ​loans​ ​are​ ​meant​ ​to​ ​be​ ​repaid​ ​anywhere​ ​between​ ​90​ ​days​ ​to​ ​three​ ​years.​ ​They​ ​are  quick,​ ​convenient​ ​and​ ​flexible.​ ​A​ ​good​ ​deal​ ​of​ ​the​ ​paperwork​ ​process​ ​is​ ​cut​ ​off​ ​and​ ​friendly  financiers​ ​also​ ​help​ ​eliminate​ ​the​ ​traditional​ ​application​ ​method​ ​of​ ​back-and-forth​ ​conversation.​ ​The  huge​ ​advantage​ ​lies​ ​in​ ​not​ ​necessarily​ ​having​ ​to​ ​offer​ ​collateral.​ ​Provided​ ​an​ ​SME​ ​finds​ ​the​ ​right  fintech​ ​lender,​ ​they​ ​can​ ​benefit​ ​from​ ​the​ ​speed​ ​of​ ​digital​ ​processing.​ ​Additionally,​ ​preclosure  penalties​ ​and​ ​hidden​ ​charges​ ​are​ ​also​ ​avoided.​ ​Genuine​ ​financiers​ ​will​ ​also​ ​provide​ ​the​ ​convenience  of​ ​flexible​ ​loan​ ​tenures.    3.​ ​Measure​ ​business​ ​liquidity    There​ ​is​ ​always​ ​a​ ​possibility​ ​that​ ​even​ ​a​ ​profitable​ ​SME​ ​can​ ​run​ ​into​ ​cash-flow​ ​problems,​ ​regardless  of​ ​the​ ​numbers​ ​reflected​ ​on​ ​the​ ​cash-book​ ​records.​ ​Delays​ ​in​ ​receivables​ ​have​ ​hurt​ ​many​ ​a​ ​lucrative  business,​ ​and​ ​are​ ​in​ ​fact​ ​a​ ​common​ ​cause​ ​for​ ​cash-flow​ ​mismatches.​ ​In​ ​such​ ​cases,​ ​measuring​ ​the  liquidity​ ​of​ ​the​ ​business​ ​can​ ​be​ ​very​ ​useful​ ​for​ ​an​ ​SME​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​find​ ​an​ ​alternative​ ​way​ ​to​ ​mitigate  problems​ ​of​ ​a​ ​cash​ ​crunch.​ ​The​ ​proper​ ​evaluation​ ​of​ ​liquidity​ ​can​ ​be​ ​extremely​ ​beneficial,​ ​and​ ​can  be​ ​measured​ ​in​ ​two​ ​ways:    Quick​ ​Ratio​ ​It​ ​shows​ ​the​ ​capability​ ​of​ ​business​ ​in​ ​covering​ ​current​ ​liabilities​ ​with​ ​current​ ​assets,​ ​and  utilises​ ​the​ ​formula:    Quick​ ​Ratio=​ ​(Current​ ​Assets​ ​–​ ​Inventory)/​ ​Current​ ​Liabilities     Working​ ​Capital    It​ ​is​ ​measured​ ​by​ ​calculating​ ​the​ ​difference​ ​between​ ​the​ ​current​ ​assets​ ​and​ ​current​ ​liabilities,​ ​with  the​ ​formula:    Working​ ​Capital​ ​=​ ​Current​ ​Assets​ ​–​ ​Current​ ​Liabilities    Getting​ ​these​ ​figures​ ​in​ ​hand​ ​can​ ​help​ ​measure​ ​business​ ​solvency,​ ​and​ ​thus​ ​available​ ​funds​ ​can​ ​be  duly​ ​channelised​ ​and​ ​prioritised.    Equipment​ ​Finance​ ​and​ ​Leasing    4.​ ​Capitalise​ ​on​ ​credit​ ​score    It​ ​pays​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​a​ ​good​ ​credit​ ​score​ ​history,​ ​in​ ​more​ ​ways​ ​than​ ​one.​ ​A​ ​good​ ​small​ ​business​ ​loans  credit​ ​ranking​ ​can​ ​help​ ​you​ ​bargain​ ​for​ ​lower​ ​interest​ ​rates​ ​on​ ​short​ ​term​ ​business​ ​loans.​ ​Also,​ ​it  opens​ ​up​ ​room​ ​for​ ​tapping​ ​into​ ​other​ ​means​ ​of​ ​raising​ ​money,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​getting​ ​into​ ​partnerships​ ​or  seeking​ ​non-traditional​ ​lenders​ ​for​ ​funding.   

On​ ​occasion,​ ​the​ ​lender​ ​may​ ​analyze​ ​both​ ​your​ ​business​ ​and​ ​your​ ​personal​ ​debt​ ​load,​ ​in​ ​addition​ ​to  your​ ​credit​ ​score.​ ​If​ ​any​ ​of​ ​these​ ​is​ ​already​ ​high,​ ​the​ ​lender​ ​may​ ​hesitate​ ​to​ ​extend​ ​or​ ​provide​ ​fresh  credit​ ​for​ ​your​ ​business.​ ​So,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​a​ ​tight​ ​rein​ ​over​ ​your​ ​credit​ ​utilisation,​ ​so​ ​that​ ​the  services​ ​offered​ ​by​ ​the​ ​lender​ ​are​ ​not​ ​affected​ ​by​ ​your​ ​credit​ ​score.    5.​ ​Check​ ​APR    While​ ​comparing​ ​and​ ​selecting​ ​the​ ​best​ ​short-term​ ​small​ ​business​ ​loans​​ ​business​ ​loan​ ​and​ ​finance  service,​ ​one​ ​must​ ​always​ ​keep​ ​in​ ​mind​ ​the​ ​number​ ​of​ ​applications​ ​they​ ​are​ ​filing​ ​for​ ​apply​ ​for​ ​the  term​ ​loan.​ ​After​ ​receiving​ ​multiple​ ​loan​ ​offers,​ ​one​ ​must​ ​select​ ​the​ ​most​ ​suitable​ ​loan​ ​offer​ ​by  comparing​ ​the​ ​Annual​ ​Percentage​ ​Rate​ ​(APR)​ ​of​ ​every​ ​term​ ​loan​ ​lender.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​perhaps​ ​the​ ​most  important​ ​calculation​ ​to​ ​estimate​ ​how​ ​expensive​ ​a​ ​loan​ ​is.​ ​Once​ ​you​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​logic​ ​of  short-term​ ​business​ ​loans,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​decide​ ​whether​ ​or​ ​not​ ​getting​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​loan​ ​is​ ​a​ ​right  choice​ ​in​ ​terms​ ​of​ ​its​ ​actual​ ​cost.    6.​ ​Be​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​lender’s​ ​queries    Things​ ​don’t​ ​end​ ​here.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​chances​ ​that​ ​the​ ​lending​ ​party​ ​can​ ​contact​ ​the​ ​SME​ ​for​ ​verifying  their​ ​documents​ ​that​ ​they​ ​submitted​ ​while​ ​applying​ ​for​ ​term​ ​loan.​ ​Thus,​ ​the​ ​SME​ ​owner​ ​must​ ​always  be​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​answering​ ​any​ ​query​ ​regarding​ ​their​ ​documentation​ ​or​ ​regarding​ ​their​ ​future​ ​goals​ ​for  the​ ​company.​ ​A​ ​small​ ​preparation​ ​toward​ ​this​ ​can​ ​prove​ ​to​ ​be​ ​very​ ​beneficial​ ​in​ ​getting​ ​a​ s​ mall  business​ ​loans​​ ​finalised.​ ​Ergo,​ ​shortfalls​ ​of​ ​cash​ ​may​ ​be​ ​inevitable,​ ​but​ ​not​ ​insuperable.​ ​A​ ​little​ ​bit​ ​of  math​ ​and​ ​careful​ ​consideration​ ​of​ ​the​ ​choices​ ​can​ ​help​ ​you​ ​get​ ​the​ ​cash​ ​you​ ​need—hopefully​ ​at​ ​the  price​ ​you​ ​can​ ​afford—​ ​without​ ​having​ ​to​ ​fall​ ​into​ ​a​ ​debt​ ​cycle.    Contact​ ​Details    Ascentium​ ​Capital  23970​ ​US-59,  Kingwood,​ ​TX​ ​77339  (866)​ ​722-8500  Website:  https://ascentiumcapital.com/finance-solutions/small-business-loans-and-working-capital  Google​ ​Folder:​ ​https://goo.gl/eTt2Dt  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkY8fXFhFP4    Recommended​ ​Links    financing  small​ ​business​ ​loans  small​ ​business​ ​loans  equipment​ ​financing  equipment​ ​leasing  short​ ​term​ ​business​ ​loan  equipment​ ​leasing​ ​companies  equipment​ ​financing​ ​companies  equipment​ ​lease  leasing​ ​equipment
