Zip Loan will cover several different products available in the market today that will help you leverage your business success tomorrow.

CHAPTER 1

THE BASIC FUNDAMENTS OF LENDING FOR BUSINESSES

GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

In a traditional loan the approximate amount that you borrow or that is lent to you is called the “principal” which is repaid over a specific agreed time called the “term” at an agreed “rate” with an added “interest”.
The interest of a loan is calculated at the end of the month based on the remaining principal. Payments made on a monthly basis is a fixed amount and is to be paid until the end of the term, with the loan’s balance is zero and money is no longer
owned.
The lender of the original loan is accepting to lend money to the business at a risk, with the possibility the loan may not be paid back and go into default, which is why an interest is added to the monthly repayments to compensate such risk.

TERM LOANS

The most common type of loan is called a “term loan”. This type of loan requires fixed monthly payments that includes principal and interest, which has a specific Annualized Percentage Rate (APR)

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

Financial institutions often go through a specific process. Along with the required documents and paperwork, several questions will be asked. Make sure you aren’t caught off guard – do your homework and be prepared!

LENDER’S TIMELINE

Your loan may take a few days to a few months depending on the lender with great consideration that all your paperwork is in order and verified. The timeline from the time frame of the initial application submission to disbursement of funds takes a large amount of time on the lender’s part, so patience is definitely required. An SBA loan can take a minimum of 60 to 90 days, so if your business is in dire need for some funds fast then its best you look elsewhere.

BANK TERM LOANS

The more established and profitable a business is, the ability for them to get larger loans from financial institutions with low rates increases. Term of 5 years or more for repayment
