The restaurant/bar industry is tough and the failure rate is high, which makes acquiring a loan very difficult. If you are in need of such a loan, Small Business Capital is here to help.
Are you presently a restaurant or bar owner? If so, you know bar restaurant financing loans are hard to qualify for. Banks and commercial lenders decline as many as 90% of these applications. To be approved for bar and restaurant loans and financing, most commercial lenders require you to have been in business at least a few years and require you to have assets to secure to get working capital. This is known as recourse.
If you've never owned your own business, don't despair. There are many options to explore when attempting to obtain new loans or financing for a new restaurant or bar. Factors such as your experience in the industry as a manager, the size of your current or projected business and the amount of loans needed determines what type of program is most appropriate for you.
Whether you're starting up your first bar restaurant operation, remodeling your facility, moving into a better or larger facility or even adding a new facility, you'll need funding. Unless you're cash rich, you'll need to seek out others to help finance your project.
Funding mortgages and financing loans on restaurants and bars can be challenging. Commercial lenders are nervous about the high failure rate. Be prepared to prove to the lender that you're a good risk.
Let's get started
You should explore some different options. Factors such as your experience, the size of your business and the amount of funds needed determine what type of financing loans for your restaurant or bar is most appropriate for your specific request. Here are some options to look at.
- Seller Assisted or Seller Carry Back: If you're buying an existing business, one option is to ask the seller to finance all or part the sales price after your down payment. There are two main benefits to seller assisted financing.
A) It's a good choice when other sources are unavailable or unwilling.
B) If the seller is willing to finance the buyer, it shows the seller has faith in the past and continued success of the business.
- Commercial lenders or banks: First-time restaurateurs will usually find it difficult to get a commercial bank loan, but it is still worth a try if you have strong experience in managing restaurant / bar businesses. Mortgage financing loans depend on the lender and your ability to prove that you're qualified. The banks closely scrutinize restaurant applications. Their responsibility is to protect the assets of the lending institution and to strive to meet the needs of clients. If the applicant is not convincing that he or she can make a success of the business, they have no choice but to reject the application. Don't quit just because one lender says no. It doesn't mean another lender won't say yes.If for whatever reason, you're not able to get a commercial lender loan by yourself, an option is to get another individual with the qualifications to guaranty it. In exchange, you may want to compensate them with equity in your business or a percentage of the monthly profits.
