If you have very little in the way of assets, a grant may be better than a loan, assuming you qualify for financial aid - many government schemes aim to get less well off people a decent start in running their own business. You will need a strong business plan - visit your bank and ask them if they offer any business plan kits - they usually have a good computer program that gives you a simple business plan and cash flow forecast template. Use this to help you build your ideas, and when you have a strong plan that covers things that could go wrong, your marketing strategy, and your budget, you will be in a much better position to approach lenders and benefactors.

How can a person get loans for their small business even if they have bad personal credit?

To enable a person with bad credit to obtain a small business loan they will likely need a guarantor to provide a guarantee or provide proof of substantial financial holdings to mortgage the loan against.


How do I get a business loan based only on the business credit?

Most, and perhaps all, business lenders to small businesses will require a personal guarantee and consider the credit of the guarantor. If the business has an unencumbered asset that is significantly more valuable than the loan you request, and you are willing to use it as collateral, an asset-based loan is a possibility. If you are willing to pay higher interest rates, you may be able to find hard-money lenders (other than banks and credit unions) who are willing to lend without a personal guarantee. Expect to pay much higher rates for alternative types of financing.


How does personal credit affect your chances of getting a small business loan?

Probably greatly. I'm sure if your personal credit is not good, that will also influence lenders on their decision to give you a small businees loan or not.

Can you really establish a good business credit without personal guarantee?

Yes you can, but if your a new business, it's going to be very difficult without a personal guarantee. Most creditors are going to require that you personally guarantee a loan or credit line. After you've been in business for a while and have a good business credit history on file, then you will be able to obtain some credit financing without a personal guarantee. In general though even well established businesses, especially small businesses are always going to require that personal guarantee regardless of how good your business credit history may be.AnswerYes, and you should establish good business credit separate from personal credit to reduce personal risk. A D&B D-U-N-S® Number and an EIN (tax identification number), both issued for free, are two business identification numbers that can be used to establish good business credit separate from personal credit.
