Do you think you know everything about business financing? Don’t let common myths hold you back! We’re setting the record straight and empower you to make informed business decisions. 🚫 Myth 1: Only struggling businesses need loans. Fact: Loans aren’t just for emergencies; they’re strategic tools for growth. 🚫 Myth 2: You need perfect credit to get a loan. Fact: Lenders consider more than just credit scores! Business performance, cash flow, and growth potential also matter. 🚫 Myth 3: Interest rates are the only costs to consider. Fact: Hidden fees like origination, prepayment, or late payment fees can add up. Always calculate the total cost of a loan. 🚫 Myth 4: Rejection from one lender means all lenders will reject you. Fact: Not all lenders have the same criteria. A “no” from one lender could be a “yes” from another! 🚫 Myth 5: More financing is always better. Fact: Borrow only what your business truly needs. Over-borrowing can lead to cash flow issues and repayment challenges.
