What is a Business Loan?
Understanding Business Loans
A Business Loan provides financial support to cover operational costs, enhance cash flow, or fund growth opportunities. It’s a vital resource for businesses needing external assistance to sustain or expand operations.
At CrownStone Funding, we specialise in tailoring loan agreements that match your business needs, with flexible terms and competitive rates.
Initial Evaluation: Your First Step Forward
The process begins by evaluating your business’s current financial position, assessing loan requirements and goals. This helps ensure we provide a tailored solution that works for you.
Monthly Payments: Budget with Confidence
After evaluation, you'll agree on a repayment structure, with fixed monthly payments that suit your business cash flow, helping you manage your budget effectively.
Loan Repayment Options: Flexible Terms
Once terms are agreed, you’ll be set up with a loan structure that offers clear, manageable payments. At the end of the term, you may have options for renewal, refinancing, or finalising payment, all to ensure your business remains flexible.
Product Suitability
Is a Business Loan Suitable for Your Business?
Business loans involve borrowing funds for business purposes, repaid over an agreed term with monthly installments, including interest. These loans help businesses stay competitive, manage cash flow, or invest in growth.
Secured vs Unsecured Loans
- Secured Loans: Backed by assets like property or equipment, these loans offer lower interest rates but require collateral.
- Unsecured Loans: No collateral needed; lenders assess creditworthiness and may request a personal guarantee. These loans offer flexibility, with no asset transaction restrictions.

Drawbacks of Business Loans
Interest Costs Business loans can increase overall costs due to interest, especially for long-term financing.
Collateral Requirements Secured loans often require assets as collateral, which may be at risk if repayments are missed.
