A business owner walks into a bank and says to his banker; “I need a loan to grow my business.” I know this sounds like one of those ‘man walks into a bar’ joke. But, this is no joke.
Ten of thousands of business owners walk into their bank each and every day seeking capital to grow their businesses. And, 99.9% get turned down – immediately – before credit is pulled - before the business owners even has the time to explain why they need funding – before anything.
Why? The main problem here is that most business owners think that their bank or any bank is the only way to get funding.
But, business owners are better off matching their need with the purpose of the loan. Instead of going to your bank and asking for one single facility to cover all your business needs – find lenders or specialist who handle different types of lending.
Example:
Equipment lenders understand equipment. They deal with it each and every day. Unlike banks they are not interested in or busy opening checking accounts or cross selling other bank products – these lending specialists deal only in equipment. They know how to appraise it and how to fund it. This way you get the best deal that matches your needs and benefits your business.
Other specialists are as follows:
Commercial Mortgage Lenders – this is their business and they have the best product lines available to help you and your business.
Working capital providers – like accounts receivable factors, purchase order funders or even business cash advance providers. These lenders understand you business needs and have developed the products to meet them. This is what they do – day in and day out.
Matching your needs with a specialist will take away the frustration of going down to your bank and being turned down. Running a business means being creative – e.g. finding ways to satisfy customers while providing the best products or services available. This is also true with business financing. You have to get creative and find lenders that what to satisfy you – there customer.
Further, think about this. You start growing your business without the help of your bank – your bank will get concerned and in a sense jealous. In time, they will start pursuing you instead of the other way around.
But, just like the satisfaction of finding a new, innovative way of helping a customer or creating a new product or service; finding the most beneficial way to finance your business can be just as rewarding – especially when you watch as your company grow by leaps and bounds.
