No. Like other forms of financing, obtaining a small business loan is all about preparation.

And experts agree the best way to avoid unnecessary snags is to prepare for the application process.
Do you need perfect credit to get a loan?
No. A low credit score is a concern for some lenders, but banks aren’t the only lenders out there. In fact, it’s far from impossible to get a personal / business loan with bad credit.

Is it true that the more money you ask for, the less likely you are to be approved for a small business loan?
No, the requested principal amount of the loan should not have an adverse impact on whether or not you get approved. Lending institutions are generally prepared to fulfill large financing requests for the right borrower; it’s more lucrative for them in the long run anyway. Don’t be afraid to ask for the amount of money that you really need!
Is the interest rate the most important factor to consider?
It’s easy to put too much emphasis on the interest rate of the loan. Essentially, the interest rate determines just how much the loan is going to cost by the end of the repayment period. It’s certainly a crucial piece of information, but it’s just one aspect of the entire deal.

How long does it take to repay a business loan?
The answer to this depends almost entirely on your loan term. A loan with a five-year term should take that long to repay. That said, if you can pay your loan off early, that’s a good thing, as long as you don’t incur a prepayment fee for doing so. If there is a fee, you might want to hold on to that loan a bit longer.
