When you apply for a corporate loan or credit, it is important to keep in mind certain basic requirements for granting loans and credit. When making a loan decision, we consider your business idea, the purpose of the loan and your company’s financial standing, among others.
How to apply for a business loan? We want to support and help you turn your business idea into reality and grow your business. But first, we must know a little bit more about your business and your plans before we can offer a long-lasting finance solution for your company. Think of us as your business partners.
| Your company and business idea | We must know your company’s risk profile and business idea and the sector it operates in We review the outlook for your market and sector |
|---|---|
| The purpose of the loan | We must know the purpose of the loan (eg purchasing equipment or office furniture) One reason for acquiring funding may be to cover ongoing expenses |
