Business loans for sole proprietors

A sole proprietorship is not legally separate from its owner, so business debt is personal debt.

How we verify →
01

Evidence

Prepare the Business Registration Certificate, owner identity, tax returns, business and personal bank conduct, contracts and a cash forecast.

02

Liability

There is no limited-liability shield between the owner and facility.

03

Compare

Check whether an incorporated structure is needed for future operations, but do not restructure simply to obtain a loan without tax and legal advice.

Decision note

Rates, limits and eligibility can change. Ask for a current written quote, repayment schedule and agreement. General information only.
