The 5 Most Common Reasons SMEs Get Business Loans

If you run a small business then you’re probably going to want to take out a loan at some point. We live in a business landscape where perpetual innovations and competition mean you realistically need to spend more money than ever before until you can start enjoying a return on your investment.

There are various kinds of business loans, of course, and also various reasons to get them. But here are the 5 most common reasons to apply for a business loan.

 

Expansion

With many workers now returning to the office after months away thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, many offices are starting to feel as if they need a little coat of paint. Not only that but now that the fallout of the pandemic is starting to recede, business owners are looking to expand their businesses with more office space. If you’re a retail location, meanwhile, perhaps you want to open a second location or expand your existing area? In either case, capital will be required to make your small business expansion dreams a reality.

 

Human resources

Without its people a company is nothing. Hiring more and better staff is not cheap though, particularly if you want to also set some money aside to get those employees properly trained up. There’s also the advertising and administration costs of hiring new staff members to consider.

 

Equipment

While the people might be the lifeblood of the business, the equipment is arguably the bones of it. This will vary depending on your sector, of course, but equipment and inventory are possibly the largest expenses for most businesses. You’ll need equipment to develop and sell your offerings and inventory so that you actually have something to sell. You’ll often need to buy more inventory than you’d think before you see a return on your investment, which is why it’s one of the most common reasons for a loan.

 

Opportunity

Every once in a while, opportunities will arise that you “can’t afford to turn down.” You’ll know them when they turn up, trust us. When these lightning bolt moments happen, you might need to figure out if the potential debt you’ll be buying into is worth the investment. These opportunities can feel impossible to turn down but sometimes it’s the best thing for your business.

 

Building credit

Building a small business into a larger and more successful business is all about laying down foundations at the beginning. That’s why you might want to take out small short-term loans at the start of your journey to build a line of credit so you can borrow a more substantial amount further down the line without trouble. This will also hopefully help forge a relationship with your lender.
