Business loan calculator for the Cash Flowing Part of the business
When it comes to financing a unsecured (no property involved) business loan, generally, financial lenders use a 5-7 year repayment period, with buyers investing 30-35% of their own money.
Lenders will also require buyers to have additional funds for start-up costs such as inventory, staff salaries,insurances etc.
A six year pay back with a 30% down payment by the buyer has been used for this scenario***
Common sense is the rule of thumb here. The cash flow from the business should cover the debt service and afford the buyer a good income.
Scenario 1 Cash Flow of the Business Numbers have been Rounded off.
Price of business : 675,000

Amount financed: 472,000
Term: 72 months
Interest rate: 9%
Monthly payment: 8,500

3-year average of owner’s SDE: 193,000

**A 9 percent interest rate has been used for illustration purposes. Buyers may be able to find lower interest rates.
*** A 6-year unsecured loan payback scenario has been used for illustration purposes. Some lenders are now offering longer 8- & 10-year payback terms which would lower the monthly loan payback.
