Brief summary

Business credit is an important tool for businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones, that need flexible capital. This includes credit cards and overdrafts that help manage cash flow, finance projects and make necessary purchases. Credit acts as a buffer against financial uncertainty and covers unforeseen expenses.

In a world where small businesses face financial challenges, access to capital isn't just an advantage - it's a necessity. Business credit offers the financial flexibility and security needed for small businesses to grow and adapt to changing market conditions. Whether it's to cover unexpected costs or finance expansion plans, business credit can play a crucial role in your company's growth.

In this article, we look at what business credit is and how to apply for it for your business - join us!

In 6 minutes or less, you'll learn how business credit differs from business loans, the interest rate on business credit and the requirements for business credit.

What is business credit?

Business credit is a so-called overdraft credit that gives your small business more financial freedom and flexibility. It is a credit line provided by a bank or lender where you use the money according to your company's various needs.

Business credit can be crucial to a small business's finances, as it enables various investments in, among other things:

  • Capital goods
  • Expansion projects
  • Managing cash flow in different periods

With the help of business credit, you can ensure that your company receives capital at the right time to support both growth and daily operations.

Business credit vs business loans

Corporate credit is similar to business loans in that your company receives an injection of capital, but with one big difference - with corporate credit, you are granted a sum and choose how much of that sum you then spend. This is not how a business loan works, where you as a borrower are bound to repay the full loan amount as well as interest beyond that amount. With a business credit, you only repay the money you have used, not the entire amount you have been granted.

Business credit for start-ups

For a newly-started small business, business credit can be indispensable - since new businesses may not always have established creditworthiness or a long business history, it can sometimes be more difficult to qualify for traditional business loans. This can make business credit a valuable and more flexible resource in the early and unpredictable days of business establishment.

Business credit interest rate: what does it look like?

When it comes to business credit with traditional banks and lenders, interest is only paid on the money you use, unlike a business loan where interest is paid on the entire loan amount.

At Qred, we do things a little differently - instead of interest, you pay a fixed price each month for your business credit. In other words, we have no interest or other costs, you pay the same fixed fee every month. Corporate credits with us have no lock-in period, and you only pay for the months you have the credit.

Common requirements for business credit

When applying for business credit as a small business owner, it's important to be aware of some basic requirements that lenders often impose. These requirements can vary somewhat, but here are the most common among traditional credit providers:

  • Registered company: The company must be officially registered and have a valid organization number.
  • F-tax: The company must be registered for F-tax.
  • Operating time: Many lenders require the business to have been active for at least six months to one year.
  • Financial health: The company should have a stable financial history with no debts with collection agencies. Creditworthiness is often assessed through a credit check.
  • Revenue requirements: Some lenders may impose requirements on your company's annual revenue, which often has to exceed a certain limit.

It is also common that the company's owner or general manager may have to act as a guarantor, which entails personal financial responsibility if the company cannot repay the credit.

These requirements aim to ensure that the company is considered capable of handling and repaying the credit, which reduces the risk for the lender.
