“A lack of a solid business plan can raise doubts about your ability to manage the loan funds effectively and repay the borrowed amount. So, take the time to develop a comprehensive business plan that demonstrates your understanding of your industry and your growth strategies.”
Concept Marketing Group
Concept Marketing GroupDeciding whether to go for an Unsecured commercial finance offering vs. a secured commercial finance offering can be a difficult decision for any business to make and is mostly subjective based on scenario and circumstances. Ian shared his thoughts at the request of Concept Marketing Group during an interview with Barb Ferrigno from Concept Marketing Group.
"The choice between an unsecured and secured business loan should depend on your business's unique circumstances and financial goals. An unsecured loan might be suitable if you have solid credit, require quick access to funds, and want to avoid collateral risks." He adds, "If you're comfortable leveraging assets to secure favourable interest rates and higher loan amounts, a secured loan could be ideal for you." - 15th of August, 2023
