Video Discription |
There are options for startups to secure a business loan with bad credit and zero collateral.
On previous versions of 60 seconds, I have talked about the importance of having good personal credit. Is it critical? No. There are products out there, some angel investors, some venture capitalists aren't going to care too much about your person credit.
And then on the loan side there are products out there, including factoring and Working Capital Loans, things like that, once you get going, where your personal credit doesn't matter that much. But if you want a true startup loan, a true launch loan, then your credit matters, unless you have great assets.
So if you don't have great assets, then you need great credit. If you don't have that, then what do you do? You either just give up or you find a credit partner.
A credit partner is someone you bring into your company whose got amazing credit. There's a lot of value to that in a startup company. There are startup loans out there where you can get 150 to 200,000 dollars completely unsecure. That's a lot of launch capital. Good credit matters, it's not critical, but it's valuable. So if you don't have it, consider a credit partner.
