Recent deal: A roller blade business gets a €50,000 working capital loan

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. Our client needed working capital. During the pandemic their main supplier was busy with HSE contracts and changed their payment terms. They had also found some new lucrative contracts but needed to supply favourable credit terms to their client. All-in-all this resulted in a strain on cash flow. They had made more plans to expand the business. A €50,000 requirement was identified. When they spoke with us they had tried their bank but the documents requests were too much to attend to and the business owner was time-poor.

With BusinessLoans.ie our client provided a quote at a low rate quickly and they had the funds in their account in days. Does your business need a fast finance quote? Email us at hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.

Recent deal: A plant hire company buys older machinery with unsecured Covid loan

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. Our client was a plant hire company who was used to getting machines with asset finance. They found it easier for approval because hire purchase enables the asset finance company to take away the machine if they fail to pay. However, asset finance companies are generally only interested in financing assets that are not too old. Our client wanted an older machine that was still in great condition and asked us for help.

Their business had been affected by the pandemic. Turnover was down after the series of lockdowns affecting the construction industry. We organised an unsecured loan quote, at a great rate and without a personal guarantee under the Covid-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme. They got their €80,000 for their machine in days and they were happy. Does your business need a loan? For fast finance quotes, email us at hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.

What's Involved in a Startup Loan Application?

If you’re an entrepreneur with a new business then you may be looking in to startup loans. It can be an uncomfortable experience having your ideas, plans and financials scrutinized by a bank but this article gives you some tips and what’s required of you. We also have a contact in the bank who can organise startup loans up to €120,000 and we can introduce you and get your quote underway.

What the banker generally requires to get your quote

  • Business Plan

  • Level and confirmation of applicants own input / funding invested in the business to date

  • Cash flow projections for short, medium & long term

  • Bank statements on all accounts (personal & business) for 12 months

  • Details on prior employment history

  • Confirmation of any grants / assistance

  • If available, contracts or details of work in the pipeline

We get a lot of startup loan enquiries however, based on our experience it’s only a very small number who progress to application stage. Mostly this is down to budding entrepreneurs thinking about loans before developing their idea & business plan. If this sounds like you, try the Start Your Own Business Programme with the Local Enterprise Office. Or if you really don’t feel confident in producing a business plan and financial modelling we have partners who can assist at reasonable rates. Applications that demonstrate a good level of experience in your industry, as well as having some funds, vehicles or assets committed to the project have the best chances of approval.
