What is a business loan?
A business loan is finance advanced to a company rather than an individual. The company borrows a sum and repays it over an agreed term, usually with interest.
- Secured or unsecured
- Fixed or variable rate
- Term or revolving
How lenders decide
Lenders weigh affordability, trading history and cash flow. Credicorp’s assessment is company-first.
