How are you going to use those funds to the absolute maximum? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the way you decide to spend your loan will depend on your industry and business but saying that, there <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">common and proven ways that most businesses can draw upon when it comes to how to use a business loan effectively.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what can you use a business loan for? Here we\u2019ll take you through not only the ways you can use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/business-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but the best ways to make the most of them and make the investment worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to maximize your small business loan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Set clear business goals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start deciding what you\u2019re going to spend your newfound funds on, you\u2019ll need to have very clear business goals laid down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure that your goals are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Specific <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; be very clear about what you want to achieve. No use in setting a goal to \u2018make more revenue\u2019 if you haven\u2019t been specific about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you are going to achieve this, rather the goal could be \u2018make more revenue by investing more heavily in marketing to achieve more leads\u2019 or \u2018hire more employees to the sales team\u2019. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Measurable <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; if the goal can\u2019t be measured, then how do you know you are on track? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Have a realistic deadline<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; one week isn\u2019t going to flip everything around. Make sure your deadline is realistic to achieve your goal. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take some time to sit down and think. We\u2019re often so busy running around checking off an endless list of tasks in business that we forget to take a moment and just think. Stop. Take a moment to figure out the key areas of your business that need a boost and where injecting some cash would do the most good in order to achieve your well-defined business goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We advise having a plan before you receive your funds and then finalize it once you know how much money you\u2019ve managed to lock in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Facilitate growth and expansion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve got your business goals in one hand and your funds in the other. Now it\u2019s time to be the boss and plump up the areas of your business that need the most nutrition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many areas of your business where you can disperse your funds, where you spread them, again, will depend on the stage your business is in. Here are some common areas of your business that you can use your funds:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3468 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1-1024x903.jpg\" alt=\"what can I use a business loan for \" width=\"640\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1-1024x903.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1-306x270.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-904090100-1.jpg 907w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I use a business loan for?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Marketing <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; spending your loan (or part of it) on marketing could be an invaluable investment for finding new leads and customers for your business. In order to grow, you will always need to find new angles and ways of attracting customers (but don\u2019t forget to remember your old ones!). You could do this through more social media ads, increasing your SEO, going old school and printing ads etc.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Equipment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; getting new equipment can be make or break for a business. Your industry will, of course, depend on what type of equipment you need but for example, adding another van to a plumbing business could double the usual area covered. A new industrial oven for a baker can triple the number of loaves make a day. It may be worth it investing in new equipment for your business. You may even consider a specific <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/business-equipment-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">equipment loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Inventory <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; for those in the field of retail, we can see your eyes widening. Stock and product are essentially the lifeline of a business, which without there would be no business. You may choose to use your funds for stock replenishment, or perhaps for bulk-purchases to get some nice discounts (just make sure you have the space to store it and that it\u2019s a product with a short expiry, you wouldn\u2019t want to have stock you can\u2019t sell).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Operational expenses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; it\u2019s not the most exciting of subjects, but bills make the world go round. There\u2019s rent, electricity, gas, internet and then throw in all the other operational expenses (like gas etc.) and you can see where we\u2019re going here. It all adds up. It may be wise to dedicate a portion of your funds to keep the business operational.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Keep your loan in a separate account &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is an obvious point to you, then skip straight to number 4. But for those of you who haven\u2019t thought of this, hear us out. Keeping your loan in a separate account to your usual business account can help stop you from spending too much at once, or unnecessarily spending your funds away or worse, spending it all in one go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We advise keeping your loan in a totally separate account and transferring money across to your standard business account when needed. This way, you will always be able to keep a close eye on how much you are spending and make sure that you are keeping in line with your original goals (from point 1). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. New funds, new ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than the usual areas mentioned, what can you use a business loan for? For those whose business is doing well &#8211; you\u2019ve got a good customer base and sales are going strong, it might just be the right time to go back to the drawing board. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could use your business loan for launching a new product or service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your business ahead of the game you\u2019ll need to make sure you aren\u2019t getting stuck in your old ways. Think long-term and think BIG. A new product or service might be just what you need to zhush things up a bit and keep up with the forever evolving market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s the subject of technology. What are you doing today to make your business more tech-savvy? Perhaps introducing new tech such as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/top-3-accounting-software-for-small-businesses-in-2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business accounting software <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will help your business to cut labor costs &#8211; it\u2019s a very small investment that can lead to big results. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Loan consolidation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re used to the lending world it\u2019s very possible that your business has led you down the path of having too many debts. Having too many debts from different lenders is less economical than having a single loan where you can focus on one single repayment strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may decide to maximize your loan by refinancing your loans and consolidating them into one place &#8211; you may even be able to get yourself some nice cash savings in the process. If you\u2019re a business owner with several outstanding debts, consider consolidating them into one place. You may be able to get a single loan with a far lower interest rate and save some money for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need a business loan?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help businesses with loan consolidation and business loans.
