How business loan rates work
Understanding how business loan rates work is essential for making informed financial decisions.
How interest rates function
Business loan rates represent the interest percentage charged by the lender on the loan amount. Here’s how they work:
Annual Percentage Rate (APR): Typically expressed as an APR, business loan rates encompass both the interest charged and any additional fees, providing a standardised comparison of different loan offers.
Daily Percentage Rate (DPR): Some lenders disclose the DPR, especially for short-term access to funds or cash-on-demand finance options like invoice finance. The DPR reflects the daily interest rate applied to the remaining loan balance, helping calculate costs for short-term or variable interest rate loans. Borrowers can estimate daily interest expenses and plan repayment strategies using the DPR.
Loan amount and repayment period: The interest rate can be influenced by the loan amount and repayment period. Larger loan amounts or longer repayment periods may lead to higher interest rates.
Factors influencing interest rates
Several factors influence business loan interest rates. Being familiar with these factors can help you navigate the loan application process and potentially secure better rates for your business:
Creditworthiness: Lenders consider your business and personal credit history to assess your repayment reliability. A strong credit profile can increase your chances of securing lower interest rates.
Financial health: Lenders evaluate your business’s financials, including revenue, profitability, and cash flow. A healthy financial position can positively impact the interest rates offered.
Loan collateral: Providing collateral, such as property or equipment, can affect interest rates. Collateral reduces the lender’s risk and may lead to more favorable terms.
Industry and market conditions: The industry your business operates in and prevailing market conditions can influence interest rates. Some industries may be considered riskier, leading to higher rates.
Negotiability of interest rates
While not all lenders offer negotiable interest rates, it’s worth exploring the possibility with those who are open to negotiation. Consider the following when negotiating interest rates:
Financial strength: Showcase your business’s strong financial position, including positive cash flow, healthy profit margins, and consistent revenue growth. This can strengthen your negotiation position.
Creditworthiness: Maintain a solid credit history, both personally and for your business. A good credit score demonstrates your ability to manage debt responsibly and may lead to more favourable rates.
Loan comparison: Research and compare rates from multiple lenders. This will provide you with leverage during negotiations and help you secure the most competitive terms.
Professional assistance: You may wish to consider working with a financial advisor or loan broker who can provide guidance and negotiate on your behalf. Their expertise can increase your chances of obtaining better rates.
Remember, the negotiation of interest rates may also depend on market conditions and the lender’s policies. It’s important to be prepared, present a compelling case for your business, and explore all available options to secure the most advantageous interest rates for your business loan.

Working capital finance vs traditional bank loans
Pros
- Fast access to cash: Working capital loans can provide businesses with quick access to the funds they need to cover immediate expenses and seize growth opportunities.
- Flexible terms: Working capital loans can be customised to meet the specific needs of your business, including repayment period and borrowing amount.
- Revolving funds: Working capital loans can be used as a revolving facility, allowing you to continuously borrow and repay funds based on your business’s performance. This can help fix cash flow problems and provide a reliable source of funding. By understanding and leveraging this concept, you can optimise your cash flow and fuel the growth of your business effectively.
- Boost your bank loan with working capital financing: Use working capital loans alongside traditional bank loans to enhance security and expedite business growth.
Cons
- Higher interest rates: Working capital loans often have higher interest rates compared to traditional bank loans. However, the interest you pay is directly related to the amount you utilise.
While the rates may be higher, the actual cost depends on the usage, and the value of having access to cash on demand makes it a valuable investment for your business.
-
Lower borrowing limits: Working capital loans may have lower borrowing limits than traditional bank loans.
But when working capital loans are used as revolving funds, they can provide access to higher levels of financing based on the performance of your business. This means that as your business grows and demonstrates strong financial performance, you can tap into increased funding resources.
