If you’re seeking a small business loan and can’t go to a traditional bank, there are several alternatives to consider. Before exploring these options, it’s essential to evaluate your business needs, creditworthiness, and repayment capacity. Here are some factors to consider and alternative financing sources:

  1. Determine your needs: Identify the purpose of the loan, how much you need, and your repayment timeline. This will help you find the best financing option that suits your requirements.
  2. Assess your creditworthiness: Check your personal and business credit scores, as they will impact your eligibility for loans. Improve your credit score if needed before applying for a small business loan.
  3. Prepare a solid business plan: Lenders want to see that you have a viable business idea and that you can generate enough revenue to repay the loan. Make sure your business plan is well-organized and includes financial projections.

Alternative financing options:

  1. Online lenders: Our lending platform offers quick and easy loan application processes, making EmpowerLend an attractive alternative to traditional banks.
  2. Credit unions: Credit unions are not-for-profit financial institutions that may offer more competitive rates and flexible terms than banks. EmpowerLend works with local credit unions in your area that provide small business loans.
  3. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs): CDFIs are private organizations that focus on providing affordable financing to small businesses in underserved communities. EmpowerLend can point you in the right direction for your small business loan.
  4. Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending: Our P2P lending platform at EmpowerLend connects borrowers directly with individual investors, who then fund the loans.
  5. Microloans: These are small loans, typically up to $50,000, provided by our lending platform, to help entrepreneurs expand their businesses.
  6. Crowdfunding: Platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo allow you to raise money for your business by offering rewards or equity in exchange for financial contributions from the crowd.

Remember to carefully compare interest rates, repayment terms, and fees for each financing option before making a decision. Choose the one that best fits your business needs and financial capacity. EmpowerLend, we find you the right solutions to help your business.
