So, I owe (don’t gag, spit your food, or otherwise, have a stroke – I’ve done all of them);  $113,000 (I was in school for MBA, Law, and now pre-med).

 

Anyway, I figure I can pay about $2,000 a month toward them… starting in May.

 

Will this affect my score more than minimally?  Or would it be better to just pay the minimum and use the cash for investments?

Every business loan is a risk for both the lender and the borrower. A promising business gives you the best chances of having your business loan request granted.

 

Lenders will usually look at your gross annual sales and revenues, credit score, checking account balances, profitability, and length of time you’ve been in business. For newbies in the business world, expect to be asked intensively about your business plans.

 

Your history with credit card services is a main factor for lenders. Credit information they usually look for are personal credit card debt, personal loans, liquid assets, real estate holdings, tax returns, and personal financial statements. Your personal spending habits will also be an issue, including how you use credit card services and instalment debt. If you have a good track record of all of these, then you won’t have any problems with getting you business loan approved. But what if you have bad credit history? What alternatives do you have?

 

The answer is getting a business cash advance in place of a small business loan.

 

A business cash advance is the alterative option for business owners who need emergency funding. It is ideal for business owners subscribed to credit card services and/or charge cards. Monthly payment this type of business loan is done through batched credit card sales.

 

Approval for this type of small business loan takes a shorter amount of time and bad credit scores won’t be too much of an issue. The processing time for cash advance application is from 24 tp72 hours only. Some cash advance lenders can lend as much as 00 to 0,000, depending on their evaluation.

 

Cash advance as a small business loan is very likely to get approved as long as you pass the basic requirements for the advance. First, you’re business should have been operational for at least a year. Your company should also at least have profits of 00 in credit card processes per month.

 

The difference between a business cash advance and the usual small business loan are:

 

(1) A business cash advance does not require a detailed financial statement. Conventional business loans require 2-3 years worth of financial statements.

(2) Audited tax returns are not required for cash advances. Business loans from banks do.

(3) You only need to provide a guarantee against fraud or intervention.

(4) Application fees are not always required for this alternative business loan.

(5)No need for high credit scores. You only need to be subscribed to credit card services.

(6) Your collateral does not have to be all of your business assets.

(7) You can opt for a flexible monthly payment.

 

Cash advance as a business loan allows you to do almost anything for your business. You can pay taxes or debts, buy supplies, pay your employees, make repairs or remodelling, inventory, make new marketing and promotion materials, and expand your business establishment.

 

The idea behind cash advance repayment is not like the payment process for a small business loan. Repayment is made by automatically debiting an agreed percentage of your credit card sales every time you batch. There are no fixed payment schedules. You will only be able to pay when you’re customers pay.

 

Cash advance as a small business loan is very ideal for restaurant owners, retailers, medical clinics, and other new industries. Staying afloat for small business is harder, especially with the recession, and a cash advance is a quick solution for those emergency financial situations. After all, maintaining continuous cash flow for young establishments is difficult. With cash advance as an alternative business loan, you can get cash sooner and pay your loan easier.

I have a couple of accounts that have closed in the early part of this year. Wondering if it is a good idea to pay them off, and how will paying them off effect my credit score if at all? or is it better to just focus on the accounts I have that are in good standing? My money is tight and I want to know where to direct the cash I have available.

 


What I or my husband needs to do is to check the cash payment of roofers.

 

Does anyone know the minimum yearly income for a U.S. Bank FlexPerks Cash Rewards Visa Credit Card?

 

I applied for one and was denied due to insufficient income. :smileysad:

 

I also plan on calling them tomorrow morning.

Hi all!  I’ve been reading these forums a lot lately and have been asking friends the above question… but figured I’d make this my 1st post.

 

I’ve been with AMEX for a long time, using the Platinum card.  When I first got it I was able to take advantage of the travel perks, which made the AF worth it.  For the past year or 2 I haven’t used any of the perks at all; except when I broke my cell phone, which I paid for with the card, they credited the full purchase price!  So I think it’s time to same myself $450/yr and switch to a cash rebate card.

 

Currently I have the following:

 

AMEX Platinum

AMEX Blue Cash (Just recently PCd from a Starwood Preferred to avoid the $45/yr AF)

Chase Sapphire

Chase Slate

Discover More

 

The only one that is completely worthless is the Slate.  Besides a high CL I don’t get rewards or anything with it.  It’s a no AF card so I just keep it in a drawer. I’ve seen a lot of chatter about the Penfed card but I don’t know anything about it.  Is the Blue Cash one of the top rebate cards?  The Discover?

 

Thanks for any input!

 

Hey everyone,

 

I’m looking to pick up a new cash back / points card as I am not very happy with the ones that I have.

 

Based on the following information, what would you recommend I apply for:

 

Equifax Score – 777

 

Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp (Car Loan): Owe roughly $20,000 (current)

Direct Loans (student loans): $22,000 (in repayment, current)

Capital One Platinum: $5,000 credit line

Chase: $17,000 credit line

Citi Premier Pass: $11,300 credit line

Citi Platinum Select: $10,500 credit line (currently have about $1,000 on this, 0% APR until end of May)

Best Buy Store Card: $3900 credit line

Guitar Center Store Card: $10,000 credit line

Lowes Credit Card: $7400 credit line

 

All of them are reporting $0 balances except for the Citi Premier Pass (I pay in full every month) and the Citi Platinum (will pay off by May).

 

What I’m looking for is a cash back / points card to replace my Premier Pass and Cap One Platinum. Both of these cards off me a point per dollar spent on most purchases, and I have to have about 10,000 points on each of them just to redeem a $100 gift card (which I use for my everday purchases and save the $100 I would have spent otherwise). 

 

What cards are worth applying for? Which cards have each of you been happiest with?

 

Thanks in advance, and I really love these forums – lots of great advice for everyone!
