Lenders assess your business's ability to service debt by examining revenue, net profit, existing debts, industry type, years in operation, and available security. They typically use a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.25-1.5x, meaning your cash flow must exceed repayments by 25-50%.
New businesses (under 2 years) face more scrutiny but can still access finance through startup loans, government grants, equipment finance (where the asset is security), or by offering property as collateral. A strong business plan and industry experience help.
Security can include commercial or residential property, business assets, equipment, inventory, or personal guarantees. Secured loans offer better rates and higher amounts. Some lenders offer unsecured business loans up to $500,000 based on cash flow alone.
