You are now ready for a discussion of your loan needs with A1 LoanHub!

HOW THE MEETING WORKS

When you are seeking to apply for a business loan, we will ask for extensive information regarding the financial history of your business. For this reason, we advise all of our clients that they should be well-prepared with a focused and thorough business plan which explicitly displays the cash flow forecast, and, the profit and loss budget. This information will be used by the lender while assessing your project. Both the past and future business plans will need to be provided along with general employee details and the market in which your business operate sin. Therefore, the outcome of your loan application will be strongly correlated by how effective your proposal is developed and presented.

THE BUSINESS LOAN CATEGORIES AVAILABLE

When you have a business loan it will either be unsecured or secured. An unsecured business loan, such as a business overdraft, will be suitable if short term funding is required. These types of loans typically have lower interest rates. A secured loan on the other hand may require some assets as collateral which the bank or financial institution may claim if the repayments are failed to be made.
As you will see there are various options that you may choose to pursue for your business loan. If you understand what your precise requirements, then you can easily get the right loan for your requirements. However, if this is not the case, the team at A1 LoanHub will always be here to assess your potential needs and go through the process with you. 

Fixed Business Loans

These are loans where payments are set against a fixed interest rate, and remain the same for the term of the loan, which can provide certainty around repayment amounts. The interest rates for a fixed business loan, however, are often higher than market rates. Some lenders permit additional repayments to be made by fixed business loan owners (usually up to a set limit per year). Therefore, this is a great option if your business has improved cash flow and the possibility exists to pay off the loan sooner and reduce the interest incurred.

Variable Business Loans

These types of loans allow for greater flexibility, however, since interest is calculated on ancontinual basis against market rates, it provides less certainty around future repayment costs. Various lenders will offer different options for repayment; some lenders mightallow reductions to interest only payments for a period of the loan. Further payments may be made without penalty, and some lenders will permit a redraw facility on their variable loans. This will in turn enable your business to access funds without having to create a new credit facility.

Split Loan

This is where the loan a borrower has is split into two parts; a variable and a fixed portion. You can choose to utilise this to adjust and plan your repayments based on your needs and circumstances. Not all lenders offer this option.
Due to the overwhelming variety of options available in the market you can trust our friendly team to guide you through the process while prioritising your requirements.

SOME OTHER FEATURE OF BUSINESS LOANS

Additional Repayments

A fantastic method of paying back your loan faster is to make extra repayments on top of your scheduled obligated payments. The additional bonus is that there is less interest to be paid over the loan term but this entitlement will need to be verified by the loan provider as not all lenders offer this option.

Redraw Facility

This provides you with the ability to withdraw any additional repayments you may have made on top of your mandatory payments. A certain degree of flexibility is offered with this facility, since you can always make additional repayments when you can afford it and then take it back later if you need to.

Lump Sum Repayments

This is used when you feel that you are able to repay a large chunk of your loan at a given time through a lump sum payment. Similar to smaller additional repayments over time, a lump sum repayment will close down the balance of your loan quicker and this of course means that you will pay less in interest over the term of your loan.

Portability

This is a feature that will you to keep the same loan when you change properties. This will then save you the trouble of refinancing the loan. It means you are changing the security for the loan.

Switching Between Variable and Fixed

This facility allows to switch your loan from a variable to a fixed rate loan, or vice versa.
