Business Funding Strategies
Business Bank Loan One of the most typical routes to business funding is a loan from your business bank, however in the real world these can be difficult to be approved for unless you have assets to speak of, or you are willing to put up personal security to cover the debt if the business were to go out of business before the loan had been paid off. Starting with your own bank can be a good strategy, your existing bank will be in a good position to merit you for your good standing and trading history. It pays not to over look other lenders, even if your bank offers you a competitive rate. Invoice Finance (Factoring) Factoring can be a low cost way of raising quick funding. It is ideal for business with steady sales in the b2b market space. Factoring firms will provide business funding based on the value of your outstanding invoices. This is a viable route if you operate with high margins to justify the associated fees. Charge Cards, Credit Cards or an Overdraft If you are looking to cover unexpected purchase and expenses then credit cards can work. For a startup business with low initial launch costs credit cards can be a effective option. There are many interest free rates available so it can be a quick and effective source of business funding. An overdraft facility is another option, however this is an unstable form of finance as the bank can remove the overdraft facility whenever they choose to. Leasing If you require business funding for the capital outlay for machinery or expensive equipment then leasing could be a safe bet. Leasing spreads the cost of owning important business equipment over a period of time allowing the operation to grow pretty quickly. Equity Finance/Outside Investment Seeking business funding by releasing equity shares in your business can be highly beneficial as outside investors, such as Business Angels can add experience and knowledge to your business as well as the capital injection. This form of finance also carries less risk to your possessions as you will not usually be required to provide any personal security to cover the funding required. |
