Does debt review removal affect the eligibility for future business loans?
Q. Does debt review removal impact future business loans?
A. Debt review removal itself should not directly hinder your eligibility for future business loans in South Africa. Here’s why:
By The National Debt Review Center
- Lenders primarily assess your current financial situation, including income, existing debts, and business viability, when considering a business loan application.
- Once debt review is successfully removed, your credit report ideally shouldn’t explicitly mention your past involvement. This means the debt review history wouldn’t be a direct negative factor.
However, there are some indirect ways debt review removal might influence your eligibility for business loans.
- Debt review can lower your credit score. While removal eliminates a negative mark, it might take time to rebuild your score, which can affect loan approval or interest rates.
- The recent completion of debt review might raise a lender’s eyebrow, especially if your business is new. They might prefer applicants with a longer track record of managing finances independently.
Here’s what you can do to improve your chances for a business loan after exiting debt review
- Establish a separate credit history for your business by obtaining a business credit card or loan and making timely payments.
- Practice responsible credit management habits like timely payments on any existing credit to rebuild your personal credit score.
- Develop a solid business plan that demonstrates your business’s viability, profitability, and repayment capacity for the loan.
In conclusion, debt review removal shouldn’t automatically affect you for a business loan. However, your credit score and the recent completion of debt review might influence the lender’s decision. Focus on building a strong business case and improving your creditworthiness to increase your chances of securing a loan.
