Buying And Selling Living Businesses

1. Loan conditions

Today, small and medium business owners tend to seek financial support services, such as loans, to promote business growth. The loans will help support capital needs quickly, allowing SMEs to save time, access new opportunities and develop a competitive advantage in the market. To be approved for a bank loan, businesses need to meet:

  • The loan representative must be a person with full civil act capacity.
  • The purpose of using the loan must be transparent, lawful and clear.
  • The financial status of businesses is healthy, not too weak and able to pay both principal and interest.
  • Enterprises with feasible business investment projects along with debt repayment plans must be realistic and low-risk.
  • Enterprises must ensure that their assets are in accordance with the provisions of law.

2.1 Legal documents

3. Things to note when applying for a bank loan

a) It is necessary to clearly define the conditions as well as the actual needs of the business

Businesses need to base on monthly and annual revenue to be able to determine a reasonable loan to ensure the ability to repay the bank as expected.

b) Understanding interest rates is a very important factor

Each loan package will have a completely different interest rate. For example, loans do not require collateral, so interest rates will be much higher than other forms of loans. In addition, each bank has a different way of calculating interest rates. Therefore, take the time to learn as well as carefully read the applicable terms. Especially in terms of interest rates and the arising, if any, to limit unnecessary risks. Some additional fees can be mentioned such as late payment penalty, early payment fee or contract renewal conditions

c) Choose a bank before borrowing

As well as choosing the right form of bank loan, you need to carefully study the terms that each bank offers before deciding to borrow. Not only that, you also have to consider the support you get when using that bank’s services. It is best to choose large, reputable banks because they have the loan packages you need and are supported with timely care.

d) Be careful when borrowing too much money from the bank

No matter how much you borrow, how much or how little, if you don’t repay the loan, the bank will evaluate it as bad debt. So you need to think and calculate carefully. You should only borrow an amount suitable and just enough to serve the purpose of your business. Absolutely avoid borrowing, causing unused balance but still incur interest minus the bank. This will very easily make you insolvent and into bad debt.
