What Should I Know For the Application Process?

Organization and financial strength are key factors when it comes to the business loan application process. Above all, your lender wants to know that you have a high likelihood of paying them back in full by your negotiated due date. Therefore, some important parts of the application process will include (but aren’t limited to):

Confirmation of your identity/residency
A credit check
An income check
An evaluation of your business plan (not always required, but certainly advised)
An evaluation of your assets (if any)
An evaluation of your cosigner’s financial profile (if any)

What if I Have Bad Credit?

In Canada, credit scores generally range from 300-900. The closer your score is to 900, the more worthy of credit you’ll be. If your credit score is 620 or lower, however, you’ll be under the “bad credit” category. If that’s the case for you, it can be hard to earn both approval and a reasonable interest rate (a high rate can cost you more over your payment term), as your lender will consider you risky.

Wondering if you can beat your lender’s interest rates? Find out here.

Don’t worry! Here are some techniques you can try for a more positive outcome:

Look for an appropriate lender – Some lenders cater specifically to borrowers with bad credit. While interest rates are likely to be higher, approval will come easier than it would if you were to apply at a bank or other conventional lender.
Review your own credit – Pulling a free yearly copy of your credit report from Equifax or TransUnion is a good way of seeing your own credit health. You may even find errors that affect your credit and therefore need to dispute them. Need to dispute an item on your credit report? Here’s how.
Avoid applying multiple times in a short period – “Hard inquiries”, performed when a lender checks your credit, cause your credit score to drop. They also make you look irresponsible if you applied multiple times within a few months.
Pay your debts – One gradual but efficient way of improving your credit score is to pay off all your current credit account bills (credit cards, lines of credit, etc.) and continue to do so in a timely fashion for a few months prior to applying.

Farming industries (livestock, fruit and vegetable, grain, etc.)
Law practices (private firms, pro-bono clinics, etc.)
Physiotherapy clinics
Personal or delivery transportation services
Cooking or service industry professions (restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do to increase my approval chances for a business loan in P.E.I?

When applying for a business loan, your lenders will check your credit score to see if you are creditworthy. As such, improving your credit score prior to applying can help increase your odds of approval. You can boost your credit score by paying your bills on time and reducing your credit utilization ratio. Another way you can increase your approval chances is by getting someone to co-sign your loan or by securing the loan with an asset.

Do I need a business credit score to get a business loan?

Lenders generally check both your personal and business credit score when approving you for a business loan. However, if you’re a new or young business, you likely haven’t developed a business credit score yet. As such, lenders will only evaluate your personal credit score when considering you for a business loan.

My lender requires a business plan. What should I include in it?

A business plan is a way for your lender to gauge how responsible and trustworthy you are. In general, a business plan is a 2-3 page report that encompasses your need for a loan. It should detail how you plan to use the loan and how it will grow your business. Providing future projections of your sales is also a good way to show your lender that you will be able to repay the loan.
