Business Start Up Loans for bad credit

You’ve probably heard stories about people whose loan applications were rejected due to what the lender cited as a CCRIS problem or a CTOS problem. Simply put, the person’s credit history is bad, bad enough that the financial institution cannot in normal circumstances lend him/her any money. Having had defaulted in payments a long time ago should not bar you from applying for and actually getting loans. There are many lenders who are “brave” enough to provide loans to people with low credit scores, there are even some who specialize in that. Generally, online loan providers and other lending institutions have more flexible terms and conditions for loan approval compared to banks but that is not to say they disregard your CTOS and CCRIS credit checks. Every lender follows that, it is just that some emphasize on a clean report than others.

It is hard getting a loan with a bad credit score but not exactly impossible. It depends on how soon you need the money. If it is an emergency or an urgent situation, you must be prepared to be met with strict requirements by the lender, which include high origination fees, higher Annual Percentage rates which can be in excess of 100% and non-negotiable repayment terms. Borrowers with poor credit scores are also charged higher interest rates which can hit the 35% mark and even above that. Note that even institutions that lend to people with poor credit scores require a set minimum score before processing the application.

For those in no hurry at all, you are advised to take the time to improve your credit rating as it will open more opportunities for you in future. Such may include:

• – Comparatively lower interest rates,
• – Higher chances of your application getting approved and
• – Competitive repayment terms.
