There are many different types of business loans, but with small business loans, you still need to have good credit in order to get a better interest rate, therefore allowing you to more easily be able to afford the loan. If you already have good credit but you did not get a low interest rate, do not be at the mercy of whatever one lender tells you. You can apply for the same loan from many different lenders to see which of them will give you the best deal. Getting the best deal is important because even if the interest rate does not seem much lower, it will save you a ton of money over the long run, especially if the term of the loan if for a long time.
If you do not have good credit, it would be wise, if you can, to take the time to build up your credit before you attempt to get a loan. The best and most sure way to build up your credit is by using credit such as previous loans, or money you spend on the credit card to pay the required payments each month, and on time. You do not need to allow interest to accumulate in order to build up good credit. In fact, if you pay your payments off in full, lenders will see you as being more responsible with using credit and will therefore, feel more comfortable lending you larger amounts of money, especially since you won't have money on the side tied up into debt. Lenders will therefore see you as being able to afford more, and thus, allow you to borrow more money.
Not only do you need to have good credit, but even with a small business loan, you must present a business plan that will impress the lender so that they will be more willing to lend you the money. If the lender thinks the business plan will fail, chances are, even with a smaller loan, you will not get the loan.
