Interest Free Business Loans For Military Veterans Expanded To Include Spouses of Those Who Have Served
(PRWEB) September 08, 2015 -- Interest free business loans are a rare commodity in the current world of small business financing. Veterans Banker, an organization that provides small business loans for veterans, announced that spouses of those who have served, or are currently serving in the military, are now eligible to apply for its innovative loan programs.
“There are more than 2.5 million veteran-owned businesses in the United States,” said Thomas Garrett, a business development executive at Veterans Banker. “However, there are also millions of businesses owned by spouses of both current and former members of the military. This demographic is mostly ignored by traditional financing institutions and we are committed to filling that void wherever possible.”
The interest free business loan concept is not new. For example, the State of Minnesota operates the Angel Loan Fund, which offers interest free loans to startup businesses in that state. The program is a government project offering small businesses a loan for seven years at a zero-percent interest rate.
In most instances, these loans can be used for startup costs, working capital, business acquisitions and expansions, franchise financing, equipment loans, inventory financing, construction, and commercial, non-passive real estate acquisitions.
While programs like Minnesota’s “Angel” fund are geared to startups, Veterans Banker focuses on existing, established businesses looking to grow in this modern age of 24/7 communication and commerce.
To qualify, businesses must have:
• More than $100,000 in gross annual revenue;
• Been in business more than nine months; and
• Been approved for a Veterans Banker Term Loan at the onset.
Although past bankruptcies and bad credit do not disqualify owners, the most competitive programs are reserved for higher quality candidates due to the competitive nature of the interest free business loan program.
“Spouses and family members are the backbone of support to the Veterans Banker community, which is why we decided to partner with them by offering creative financing solutions,” said Garrett. “Our objective is to provide alternative financing options when banks say no, and then reward successful business efforts with a 100 percent refund of the interest payments made during the course of the loan.”
