Business loans from Qred

Business loans and loans for small businesses don't have to be difficult

Getting a loan for your business, no matter how old or large, shouldn't have to be too difficult.

Amortization-free months

We understand that things can happen in the life cycle of a company. That's why we can often offer grace periods for a limited period of time. So, as long as you pay the fixed monthly fee each month, you may, in some cases, be able to pause your instalment payments to us.

Business loans with payment notes

Mistakes can happen. You might be late with a bill or miss something during your holidays or tough times in life. It shouldn't be an obstacle to looking ahead and growing your business.

Even if you or your company happens to have a payment record, Qred can help you with a loan. It all depends on the nature of the note, when it was issued, why and what the situation is in your company.

❕ Important things to consider when applying:

There are a number of things to consider when applying for a business loan.

• Is it the right time for my company to make an investment?
• Do I dare to take this step in my company's growth journey?
• Will I be able to repay the loan on time?

There are many questions and at least as many answers. It is only healthy to ask many questions and analyse the state of your company and your finances.

As a business owner, you already know that there are many things that cost money, such as paying taxes and fees, marketing costs, supplier invoices and other things needed to keep you afloat.

One thing that is often forgotten is that there are an incredible number of opportunities and good locations for growth.

Be clear about what you will use the loan for. For example, if you need to buy a machine for SEK 100,000 and are applying for the same amount, we might ask if you have any money to invest. If you have $30,000 to spare, we can suggest $70,000 to match your $30,000.

Perhaps your business could do with a little extra investment in stock for the high season, a little marketing or building that outdoor terrace you've always dreamed of to attract guests in the summer?

Qred believes in transparency, innovation and passion. If you're open about the status of your business and what you're going to use the loan for, we can more easily determine the loan amount and term you should have. If you clearly show how innovative your business is, we can do that too. And if you show how passionate you are about your business, that rubs off on us too.

⚠️ Think about this when you're lending to businesses

1. What do I need the loan for?
   
   Thisway you can bring the cost down and make it easier for yourself to pay back your business loan. Read more about borrowing responsibly.
   
2. What will it look like in a few months or a year?
   
   Dependingon the repayment period you have chosen, you should have a plan for how you will repay the loan to your business. If you have taken out a business loan for six months, you should also be able to pay back the full amount by then. In the end, being late with your repayments only affects you in terms of any unnecessary reminder fees and, in the worst case, debt collection demands.
   
   Be careful not to invest in high-risk projects or items. Want to see your own UC score or company credit report? With the help of credit reference agencies like UC or Creditsafe, you can find out your creditworthiness before you apply for a loan.
   
3. Can you save up for part or all of the amount?
   
   Sometimesthe boring answer is to save. Try putting some aside each month for a rainy day or for a day when that chance you can't turn down comes along.

😃 What can I use a loan for?

There are as many reasons why you might need a business loan as there are entrepreneurs in Sweden - very many! You might think that most people take out a loan to save their business when they're on the brink of ruin. It couldn't be more wrong.

Most companies that take out loans for their business with us do so to grow their businesses. Of course, there are different ways to do this, but here we list some of the most common uses:

• Buying in stock for the high season
• Buying tools or materials
• Rental or purchase of premises or vehicles
• Renovation
• Paying invoices
• Education and training
• Market yourself online or offline
• Hiring to grow
• Rebuild your website
• Liquidity to cope with periods of low income
• Cash flow
• Development

🚀 4 out of 5 jobs created by small entrepreneurs

As a small business owner, you may not be the one getting all the attention on the business news every night. We hear about Volvo, IKEA, H&M and other big Swedish companies. But the fact is that it is you small business owners who contribute most to welfare and the development of society.

4 out of 5 jobs are created by small entrepreneurs and the vast majority of Swedish companies have no more than 20 employees. In addition, you contribute social security contributions, employer's contributions, VAT and other taxes to society so that Sweden can continue to grow and be a successful country and stay at the forefront.

🤔 When should I not take out a business loan?

Perhaps you are about to test an untested product, service or market? We are small business owners ourselves and have many staff who are or have been entrepreneurs and will assess your business idea. During the phone call with us, we'll ask a few questions about why you need a temporary infusion of capital, etc. Especially if you are a start-up, how likely is it that your business will start generating revenue within a few months? This will help us to assess whether someone who has been working as an employed carpenter for several years, has now started their own business and can start generating income at a rapid pace. Often that person already has a network of contacts and craftsmen are an established and secure industry.

🧾 Record business loans

Vi får ibland frågor om hur man bokför ett lån från Qred. Våra lån är kortfristiga (d v s <12 månader) och ska bokas på ett 28-konto, t ex 2840.

The fixed monthly fee is therefore booked to an 84 account, e.g. 8420. A business loan from Qred is booked in the same way as a short-term bank loan. If you are unsure, you should consult an accountant or auditor. Find out more about the partners who can help you with your bookkeeping.

🥳 Qred is positive

We love small business owners and the impact you have on our community. 4 out of 5 jobs are created by small businesses, and those are the very businesses that keep society running. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the challenges you face and that sometimes you need a temporary cash boost to get through off-peak or peak seasons, invest in equipment, inventory, staff, marketing or to pay taxes.

💡 Good to think about

1 . Write down why you need to borrow money for your business

The reasons for taking out a business loan differ greatly. However, we can divide the reasons into good and bad ones.

Good reasons are to cover a temporary need. It can be to invest money in machinery, employment, training, renovation, marketing or stock. They are simply investments that will generate a return that will allow your business to repay the loan.

Bad reasons include covering up a weak profitability or loss, without having a concrete plan on how to quickly turn the loss around. Another bad reason is to pay off other loans. The risk is that you will end up in a negative debt spiral. Never borrow more than you need.

2. Explore options

Bank loans to businesses are the first option most entrepreneurs think of. The problem is that traditional banks want to take very little risk and have old systems and procedures that are very costly. This means that small business loans are rarely a profitable business for the bank, which would rather lend hundreds of millions or billions to large companies. Unfortunately, lending money to businesses from the bank is more difficult than ever.

Factoring and invoice leasing can be an option if you have a lot of invoices and the payer has a good credit rating. If you are a small business that invoices other small businesses or individuals, factoring is more difficult and expensive.

Equity is a good option if you need money in the longer term and you are not yet up and running and can show stable cash flows. Bear in mind that the investor may be eligible for a tax deduction. The downside is that you are selling part of your business, and therefore part of your freedom and future profits.

Online business loans are a convenient and easy option if your business needs to borrow money and the amount is not very large. Applying for the loan is often very simple and you will receive a quick response. Qred, for example, promises an answer within an hour and disbursement on the same day.

3. Interest on loans to enterprises

The cost is very different, depending on who you ask. The interest rate is important, but the pitfalls are many. In addition to the interest rate, there are lots of costs that the various lenders add on. Here are things to watch out for.

Interest on corporate loans is normally expressed as a percentage of outstanding loans. The interest rate on small business loans varies widely, but is often 10%-20% per annum.

The origination fee is a fee that most lenders charge for originating a new loan. It can be up to 5% of the loan amount.

The notification fee is a charge for sending the invoice. It can vary between 30-60 SEK per month.

The early repayment fee is a fee that you are sometimes forced to pay if your company wants to repay the loan sooner than agreed. This can be a very large cost.

The application fee is a fee charged by rogue traders just for applying for a business loan.

Monthly fee is a fee charged by Qred every month. Qred has only a fixed monthly fee and no interest, no set-up fee, no early redemption fee, no application fee and no other hidden charges.

4. Make a repayment plan

Once you've explored the options, it's time to think about the next step - how to repay the loan. Make a simple calculation. There are lots of templates online, but unfortunately they tend to be difficult to understand. It doesn't have to be sophisticated, but it's important to think through your company's future situation. Make sure you have some margin in your calculations and consider the options. For example, what happens if you lose a customer or a project is delayed?

The better prepared you are, the more likely it is that your business will be granted a business loan and that your business will succeed in the future!

How do you increase your existing business loan with Qred? 

It's easy! Just call, email e(shown in the picture below) and fill in your desired loan amount and we'll try to find the best possible solution.

Applying for an increased loan amount is free of charge, non-binding and you will receive a reply the same day. You'll get a reply by email and SMS and it will look just like the first time you took out a loan from us!

Do I have to wait until the loan is fully repaid to apply for an extension?

No, you don't have to wait until the whole loan is repaid. If you apply for an extension when you already have a loan, we will make an individual assessment of you and see if there is a possibility to increase, and how much you can increase. We usually like to see a few months of good repayment before we can consider increasing the loan.

What can I do as a customer to get an extended credit line?

We want to build good relationships with our customers based on trust and to get to a higher amount there are two things you can do. Paying back on time increases your chances of being able to extend, and adding a person to the loan.

Do I get two loans to keep track of if I get an extended loan?

No, the amount left to repay on your current loan and the amount paid out on the new loan are added together in the same loan. You get one invoice and it's easy to keep track! However, if you have another company, you can take out a loan for that company too.

Can I change the repayment period?

We do our best to always adapt to the needs of the client and we make an individual assessment for each application. Get in touch and tell us what you want and we'll look into it to make it as good as possible!

The right type of financing for your business

Business loans are a type of business finance that can help you develop your business. Banks and other lenders take several factors into account when determining whether you are eligible for a loan and how much they will lend to your business. You must have a strong history of good payment history to get financing from the bank. The lender will want to know why you need the money, what it will be used for, how much capital is needed and how long it will take for them to get their money back.

Business loans are financial tools that can help small businesses grow.

A business loan is a type of financing that can help small businesses grow. Business loans are used to develop a business, buy equipment or make capital improvements. They can be used to expand operations or to buy inventory (for example). Businesses use these loans for many different reasons, but they often turn to them when they need money quickly and don't have enough cash on hand - or when they need access to capital that would otherwise not be available in the local market.

Loan requirements vary depending on the lender, but include credit check, business plan and collateral.

Loan requirements vary depending on the lender, but include a credit check, business plan and collateral.

A business plan is a written document that describes your business and its objectives. It should include the following:

• A description of your product or service.
• Your target market and potential customers.
• Location of the company (if applicable).
• Your financial projections for five years ahead.

Some lenders require a business owner to meet certain criteria before a loan is approved.

Some lenders require the entrepreneur to meet certain criteria before the loan is approved. For example, you may need to have been in business for a certain amount of time and have enough money in the bank. They may also want to know if you have any personal guarantees from friends or family members who will be responsible for paying back the loan if you fail as an entrepreneur.

You may also need to show that you have sufficient liquidity in your business and that the loan is a good investment.

You may also need to show that you have sufficient liquidity in your business and that the loan is a good investment.

Liquidity refers to how quickly a business can turn its assets into cash, so it's important for lenders to see that you can repay your loan without problems. Liquidity is often measured by comparing current assets (such as receivables) with current liabilities (such as payables). If your business has a positive working capital, this indicates good liquidity because it means that there is more money available than required to cover short-term expenses.

To demonstrate this, many businesses will use non-cash collateral such as equipment or real estate as security for their loans; however, some lenders will require additional documentation if they are unsure of the value of these items used as collateral before making an offer on one's business loan application - which may be why many people prefer to apply online instead! Another thing worth mentioning here is that those thinking of getting an SBA loan should make sure that their creditworthiness meets certain parameters set by each lender before applying, as this affects whether or not one gets approved for financing through them."

Before applying for a business loan, you should do some research on the lender, including the criteria they use to assess borrowers' applications.

Before applying for a business loan, you should do some research, including what criteria are used to assess borrowers' applications. Lenders have different requirements and standards, so it's important to find one that suits your needs. Make sure you understand their requirements before submitting an application. This is why we at Qred have wanted to make it as simple as possible, by being completely transparent about why you might be denied a loan right now or not get the amount or fee you wanted.

Business loans are a type of business financing that can help you grow your business.

If you are an entrepreneur, you have probably heard of the term 'business loan'. But what exactly is it? And how does it differ from other types of financing? Let's take a look at some key facts about this type of loan:

• Business loans differ from personal loans in that they are intended to be used for business purposes only. This means that if you want to buy something for yourself or your home, such as furniture or appliances, a business loan will not help you with these purchases. But - and this is very important - there are ways around this rule! You can use another type of financing but then pay those bills with money from your new business account (which is technically still legal).
• Entrepreneurs can use these funds for anything directly related to their business, such as advertising campaigns or upgrading office equipment.

Banks and other lenders take several factors into account when deciding whether you are eligible for a loan and the amount they will lend to your business.

The lender considers several factors when determining whether you are eligible for a loan and how much they will lend to your business. They will look at your creditworthiness, collateral, liquidity, business plan and payment history. If you don't have enough personal assets or collateral to secure the loan, they may ask for a personal guarantee from someone else who has those things. In addition, some lenders may require a guarantee in case something goes wrong with your business (e.g. default).

You must have a strong history of good solvency to obtain financing from the bank.

To obtain financing from the bank, you must have a good payment history. A good payment history is a strong indicator of creditworthiness, which is an important factor in determining whether your application for financing is approved or rejected.

A good credit history is also an indication of financial stability, future profitability and ability to repay debts.

What is the purpose of the loan?

Will it be used to buy equipment or invest in growth? How long will it take you to pay off the loan? How much money will be repaid each month? How much money will be repaid each year? Is there a personal guarantee associated with the business loan application? There are many questions, so try to prepare yourself for most of them that may come up during a call, meeting or in email conversations. The better prepared you are and able to answer questions, the better!

The purpose of a business loan is to help you develop your business and expand your operations. You may need money for equipment or additional inventory, which can be used as collateral for a business loan. When applying for a business loan, it is important to know how much capital is needed to develop your business and make sure that there are no personal guarantees to be approved by the lender before signing papers with him/her.

Qred wants to know why you need the money, what it will be used for, how much capital is needed and how long you will need the loan.

You should be prepared to answer the following questions:

• Why do you need the money?
• What will they be used for?
• How much capital is needed, and how long will it take for the lender to get its money back from your business.
