The factor they&#8217;ll be more concerned about when reviewing your application for refinancing a business loan is whether you too many existing loans.

Determine why you need to refinance<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you considering refinancing a business loan for a specific reason, or just because you can? We certainly hope it\u2019s for a specific reason. Having a clear idea of what you aim to accomplish is essential when refinancing business loans. Otherwise, you could actually end up paying more rather than less.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will refinancing a business loan give you smaller payments? A lower interest rate? A longer repayment term?<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will you face fees when applying for the new loan, or when paying off current loans in advance?<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to take all of those factors into account before refinancing a business loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. List your business debts<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first real step in refinancing business loans is to compile an accurate list of what your business currently owes. Having a complete picture of all of your business\u2019s liabilities will help in determining whether refinancing a business loan is the right option for you, and how much you\u2019ll want to apply for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>When considering existing loans specifically, you should list:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remaining balance(s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">APR<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early repayment fee(s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remaining length(s) of loan term(s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scheduled payment amount(s)\/frequency<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being accurate on this step is key to making the choice of whether or not refinancing business loans is the right way to go for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Evaluate your business\u2019s financial health<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from listing your existing business debts, it\u2019s crucial to also have a clear understanding of your business\u2019s overall financial standing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gathering information about your business\u2019s revenue and credit score will not only help you to choose the right option for refinancing a business loan but will also get you prepared with the necessary documents when you do apply.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Keep the following documents on hand so you\u2019ll be ready to apply for refinancing a business loan:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank statements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Month to date transactions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tax returns (personal and business)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Profit and loss statement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Select the right lender and loan type<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It used to be the case that shopping and comparing business loan options would mean going through lenders one-by-one until you found the one you liked. But with so many lenders out there, and so many different types of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.become.co\/business-loans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, separating the wheat from the chaff can be a challenging task.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the power of technology, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.become.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has changed the face of business lending.

No more wasting time, no more stressing about getting stuck with the wrong funding solution, and no more credit hits just to find out if you qualify!<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Apply<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve chosen which lender and loan type you\u2019ll apply for, you\u2019ll have to collect a number of required documents. This is when all of that paperwork you gathered when assessing your business\u2019s financial health will come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides those official documents, you\u2019ll also need to provide more basic information like your SOS (Secretary of State) number and federal tax ID number. If you\u2019re concerned about making a mistake when applying for refinancing a business loan, take a minute to look over the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/reasons-for-business-loan-rejection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">common reasons loan applications are rejected<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Get approved<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes, a lender may require additional information after you\u2019ve applied. Before they provide you with funding for refinancing business loans, lenders will want to evaluate the level of risk they\u2019ll be taking on. Having more information will help them do that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common stipulation documents can include your driver\u2019s license, a copy of a voided check, W9 forms, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Use the funds<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You decided that refinancing business loans is the right way to go. You gathered the necessary documents, chose the lender and loan, applied, and got approved. Now it\u2019s time to put the funding to work by paying off your existing loans. Once you\u2019ve done that, you\u2019ll then need to get started with paying back this new loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.become.co\/apply\/?k=blogbanner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frame-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frame-9.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frame-9-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frame-9-768x266.png 768w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frame-9-604x209.png 604w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reasons to refinance a business loan<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of reasons why refinancing business loans could be the right decision for your business. Here are a small handful of reasons why you should consider refinancing a business loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Overall cost and terms of a new business loan will save you money<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refinancing a business loan is a particularly good idea when the new loan would wind up saving you a significant amount of money. What\u2019s a \u2018significant\u2019 amount of money?<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, consider the fees you may face for paying your existing loans off early, and fees included in applying for and obtaining the new loan. Then, see if the potential savings outweigh the costs associated with getting the new loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Your business\u2019s financial standing has improved<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business\u2019s financial health has improved since you initially took on the debt, then it could be an ideal time for you to consider refinancing a business loan. A lot can happen in a relatively short time &#8211; just think about how your business looked a year ago.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having spent more time in business, your revenue may have increased, your credit score could have gone up, and more. As your business grows stronger, lenders will naturally take on less risk in providing you with a loan and will be more likely to provide you with better rates, terms, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the ability to even consider refinancing business loans is one of the great perks that comes as a result of improving your business\u2019s financial profile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. You have multiple sources of debt<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the top reasons for refinancing a business loan is if you have several types of debt piled up. With different interest rates, payment amounts, payment schedules, and so on &#8211; it\u2019s clear that dealing with multiple sources of debt can become a headache.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refinancing business loans and other debts (also known as debt consolidation) can save you a significant amount of time and energy, which may make it worthwhile even if you\u2019re not saving money.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>[bctt tweet=&#8221;Refinancing #smallbusiness loans and other debts can save you a significant amount of time and energy, which can make it worthwhile even if you\u2019re not saving money!&#8221; username=&#8221;Become_co&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is refinancing a business loan a bad idea?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deciding whether or not refinancing business loans is your best option will take careful thought. Consider the following reasons why you may want to avoid refinancing a business loan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. It won\u2019t save you money<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of the time, the main purpose of refinancing a business loan is ultimately to save money. If you run the calculations and see that refinancing a business loan will actually increase the cost of your debt, then perhaps it\u2019s not your best route of action.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then again, there\u2019s value that comes in forms other than money &#8211; like time. So, if you\u2019re intent on cutting down the amount of time you spend on making multiple payments every month, then refinancing business loans may be worth it even if you\u2019re not saving money. You\u2019ll have to make this judgment call on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Your business credit score is weak<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for better rates, payment amounts, and payment schedules by refinancing a business loan? Then you\u2019ll usually need a strong credit score (both personal and business credit).<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your credit scores are weak, you\u2019ll be less likely to find those better loan terms. Plus, applying for a new loan can do further damage to your credit. Before applying for refinancing business loans you may want to take some time to boost your credit &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/raise-credit-with-credit-score\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consider using credit cards to build credit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. You have just one major source of debt<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time, money, and energy you\u2019ll spend on getting the necessary documents together, applying for the new loan, paying any fees, etc. may not be worth it if you only have one major source of debt.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another situation where you\u2019ll need to use your best judgment, but the point is if you have the ability to pay off your existing debt without refinancing a business loan, it may be the better way to go. Generally speaking, refinancing business loans has clearer benefits for small businesses that have multiple sources of debt that have begun piling up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min.jpg\" alt=\"Refinancing Business Loans\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GettyImages-847383634-min-405x270.jpg 405w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your business eligible for refinancing?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any type of business funding solution, the criteria you\u2019ll need to meet to get approved for refinancing a business loan will differ from one lender to the next.

Ultimately the goal of refinancing a business loan is to save you money &#8211; so be sure to evaluate the different costs that can play into the process, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Origination fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; a fee that a lender may charge for processing your loan application<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Prepayment fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; a fee some lenders charge for repaying ahead of schedule (this is meant to make up for the money they would\u2019ve earned through interest)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Underwriting fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; a fee charged by some lenders for reviewing your loan application and confirming that all necessary info is provided by you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Legal fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; small businesses may need a financial advisor to help them evaluate and choose from the variety of loan options available (not free!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Appraisal fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; providing security in the form of valuable assets may lower the total cost of refinancing a business loan, but the appraisal of those assets comes at a cost<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all of those fees and charges outweigh the benefit of refinancing a business loan, then perhaps you should reconsider your approach to handling your existing debt.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Just remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> whether you decide to move forward with refinancing business loans or to proceed in another direction, you should always be aware of the fine print that comes along with either choice you make.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refinancing business loans can make paying off your existing debt easier, but it\u2019s not for everyone.
