What Else Should You Know About Personal Business Loans?
Personal business loans mostly depend on your personal credit score, so your business’s financial history doesn’t matter.
The fundamentals are:
- Lenders make the loan to you directly, you use it for your business, and then you must pay it back directly.
- You must have good personal credit.
- Most lenders will only lend up to $40,000.
- Personal business loans often require closing fees.
When Does a Personal Business Loan Make Sense?
It makes the most sense to use a personal business loan when your business is new. When your business doesn’t have a financial history, it’s nearly impossible to receive a loan on behalf of it. If you’re looking to start a business you believe would have a large payoff, and you have a strong personal credit score, getting a personal loan for business is a good idea.
If you prefer to keep your personal and business finances completely separate, this type of loan might not be the best for you.
