What Can You Use a Business Loan For?

There are so many applications for the funds obtained from business loans in Montreal. Here are just some of the uses of these specialized types of loans:

Buying equipment – Depending on the type of business you’re operating, you’ll likely need some form of equipment to run it. Even if it’s just a desk and computer, these are things that are vital for your success. In other cases, you might need much larger, more expensive items, such as machinery, vehicles, or kitchen appliances. Whatever type of equipment you need, a business loan can help you make such big-ticket purchases.

Advertising your business – You might have a great business going, but how will people know about it if you don’t get the word out? Marketing is an integral part of making your business thrive, but it takes money, which is another reason why business loans can be of great assistance.

Moving locations – If your current unit is no longer serving your purpose, then you may want to upgrade. But you’re going to need some extra cash to move.

Opening a new location – Maybe your business is growing to the point where you’re considering opening up a new location. If that’s the case, more money will be needed to make this happen.

Hiring new employees – You’ll likely need a certain number of employees to help you run your business, and they all have to be paid. Plus, you’ll have to cover the cost of benefits and vacation time, all of which require money.

Business Loan Check List

Industries That Business Loans Can Help With

Just about every business niche in Montreal will find a business loan useful, including the following:

  • Hospitality
  • Retail
  • Service
  • Transportation
  • Industrial
  • Restaurant
  • Trades
  • Medical
  • Farming

This list is by no means exhaustive and can go on and on. Basically, if you’re planning to start a business or are looking to expand it, a business loan can come in really handy.

How to Apply For a Business Loan in Montreal

The application process for a business loan in Montreal is rather straightforward, though it is detailed.

Pull your credit report – You might have a good idea of what your credit score is, but pulling your credit report will give you a more precise picture. You’ll also be able to see all the information that’s on the report to make sure it’s all correct.

Your credit score plays a key role in the business loan application process as lenders will likely request to perform a credit check. This number will play an important role in whether or not you’ll be able to secure a business loan in Montreal, so you’ll want to make sure it’s as high as it can be. Generally speaking, a credit score of 680 is usually considered the minimum.

Establish a business plan – Lenders like to see that business owner hopefuls have done their homework when it comes to their business needs. They want to know that the money being loaned out will be put to good use and will help a business be successful and grow. That’s why putting a business plan together is so important.

Your business plan should feature details including past and forecasted financial statements, proof of assets and collateral, a statement of your experience, and an assessment of the market that your business is in. At no point should you meet with a lender without one in hand. Besides, if you neglect this important step, you won’t have a good idea of how much you need to borrow.

Here’s how you can use assets to secure funding for your business.

Compare lenders – Your bank is always a sound choice when it comes to applying for a business loan in Montreal. But there are so many other options out there. Consider looking around with different lenders to see what your options are. Some lenders might have more to offer than others. And if your credit score isn’t as high as it could be, you might have little choice but to shop around with alternative lenders.

Types of Business Financing Available in Montreal

Business loans are not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of deal. Every business owner has their own specific needs, so the business loan they apply for should be tailored to meet them. Here are a few types of business financing that you may want to consider:

  • Small business loans – These types of loans work like other types of business loans in Montreal in that a lump sum of money is provided, after which it must be paid back in installments over a given time period. But, these loans are tailored toward companies that are trying to get their foot in the door.
  • Equipment loans – If you need to buy expensive equipment, an equipment loan will allow you to make these purchases and use the actual equipment itself as collateral to back up the loan.
  • Merchant cash advances -If you take credit card or debit payments from customers, you can use a merchant cash advance to get the money you need while leveraging a percentage of your future credit card or debit sales.
  • Commercial mortgages – To get the funds needed to buy land to operate your business, a commercial mortgage will come in handy.
  • Asset-based financing – Get an affordable loan by leveraging your commercial assets, including farming equipment, trucks, or any type of other commercial assets.
