A business loan is one of the most popular methods for those starting a business and they are a relatively simple way to gain the funds you need to get your business up and running. When looking to build a business, a large majority of entrepreneurs will need a business loan, and these are a great way to get your business idea off the ground if you don’t have a lump sum sitting around (and let’s face it, not many of us do!)

There are several types of business loan, including short term, term and equipment financing, and the type a business uses is dependent on variable such as the amount of money they need to borrow, the duration they will need to pay it back and what the money is required for.

One particular question that many enterprising business people raise, aside from being concerned regarding the approval of their loan, is whether the outcome of them applying for a business loan will be detrimental to the credit rating of them or their partner or spouse. It’s an understandable worry, as although business people plan for businesses to be a success, it is wise to be cautious and look after our personal affairs.

The recommended way to ensure your business credit has little or no effect on your personal credit rating is to keep the two separate. If you make sure your business has a separate identity by registering it for its own Tax ID with the IRS, opening a separate bank account and registering the business at an address other than your home, you build the foundation on which you can build on your business’ own credit rating.

For new business start ups the bank/lender will usually review your personal credit, as they have no business credit to work off, so in this case a business loan is likely to affect your credit score and may lower it slightly.

Where a business already exists, a loan application is more likely to be accepted without the need to take your personal credit rating and status into account.

Like many finance areas, with business loans there is no single rule, as a range of factors affect your application, and these vary from case to case. However as a guideline, loans for a new business are more likely to affect your personal rating than loans relating to an existing company.

As is probably pretty clear from the name, slam locks are a type of vehicle locking product that lock the doors automatically when they’re closed. Because they lock the doors automatically on closing, it means that this is no longer down to whether the driver remembers to or not.

Cargo crime is costing a fortune in the European Union. The EU’s statistics tells us that European businesses are being hit with a bill of eight and a half billion Euros every single year. Many of the offences taking place on the roads of Europe are being carried out by criminal gangs who are well organised and know the transport routes well.

Commercial freight vehicles are an appealing target for criminals. This is down to the fact that accessing vehicles on the roads is comparatively easy and they are often carrying a lot of merchandise with an extremely high value. Drivers should also be taking regular breaks on the road and some even have to sleep in their vehicles, making them an easier target still.

Because a slam lock forces a door to lock on closing, it removes the potential of human error, through forgetfulness, resulting in the theft of a large quantity of merchandise. We’re human, after all, and we all forget things from time to time. This will help prevent offences that take place when opportunists notice a driver forgetting to lock their door.

Slam locks or other advanced vehicle locking systems, that are specifically designed for that particular vehicle type, really are the minimum security requirement if you are going to send out a vehicle on a long freight journey. There are now so many solutions on the market, such as immobilisers and advanced alarm systems, that vehicle security can be made very tight. It seems almost unjust in many ways that companies should have to invest so heavily to stop criminals, but given the value of goods on board many commercial logistics vehicles, it really is a worthwhile investment.
