What is a business loan?
A business loan is a financing solution for companies that need capital (money) to cover various needs.
Types of corporate loans
There are different types of business loans. Depending on your business and your needs, certain business loans may work better or worse.

Traditional big banks
Traditional large banks still have local branches where you need to make an appointment to meet an adviser. It can then take several days or even weeks to get an answer, and the application process is often very time-consuming.

Interest and charges on a business loan
At Qred, we want to make things as simple as possible. That's why we've decided to use a fixed monthly payment as the cost of the loan. So you know exactly what you're paying each month. We also have no initial fees or other hidden charges for early repayment or similar. In fact, we encourage you to pay back your loan early! That's why our loans have no commitment period.
Common types of interest rates for corporate loans
Other common types of interest rates and charges on business loans may include origination fees at the beginning of the loan term, management fees and other types of interest or hidden charges that you should be aware of.

Options for a business loan
There are several options for a business loan. It depends entirely on you and your business needs. If you have many small, everyday expenses, a business card may be a good option. If it's more about cash flow, factoring and invoice sales can be a good solution. Some banks and lenders also offer overdraft facilities. It can be a good option if you want a secure back-up that you can use when you need it.
How to find the best business loan?
Often people have a "home bank", often one of the traditional big banks, for their personal finances, such as a mortgage, an account, etc. Many people keep their personal and business finances separate. This is where Qred can offer a world class personal service!
