If you are looking for the business loan, there are two options available to you. First is the short term business loan and the second is the long term business loan. You must first analyse you situation nd then decide for which option to go for.

Short time business loan-

If you are a well set business enterprise with vast pool of clientele and a large patronage and your purpose for application is to enhance your business enterprise furrther, or you intend to use the loan to cover the operating costs of the business till the customers pay back , then a short term business loan is good option for you, s the loan is extended for shoert duration of time of say a month or more or may be upto three yers depending on the utilisation purpose of the loan. It also follows a rather strict repyment rules.

Even new venturers can take the business loans for short terms as, a short term business loan is not as risky as a long term business loan. Lenders would be happy giving short trerm business loans to the new beginners as compared to long long term business loans owing to their short duration for the repayment, also as the new business would require small amount for the initial setup of the business. You will most likely be using the funds for initial investments in the business, and should be able to pay it back in a timely fashion if you have advertised your business correctly and established a solid client base within the first few months.

Long term business loan-

A long term business loan is more suitable for larger investments and expenses for a company, especially if the company is going through a lag phase wherein the money being generted by the unit is insufficient. New business loans can fall under the long term business loan category, and if you are planning on making investments with your company, this could be a good choice for you.

These usually take one to seven years to mature. The banks also offer other types of funding in the form of new business loans in addition to long term business loans. Your enterprise may receive a credit card from the bank. They can be used for company purposes, with a revolving credit line. This can be a great way to help you to plan your finances for the business, and will help you to keep track of what you are spending. You may also be able to receive letters of credit from the bank, which will help you to purchase more equipment for the business. The bank promises to pay the seller of the equipment or property if all the conditions are met, and this will help you.

Long term loans are specifically for long term assets/projects finance and short term for working capital only. It would be a worst decision to appropreate short term funds for long term and vise versa since short term loan carry high interest rates and early repay which may lead to create liquidity and disturbs the WC position. Hence long term and short decision should be approprate
