How do commercial loans differ from personal loans?

Commercial loans are based mainly on your business’s financial performance (revenue, cash flow, years in operation), while personal loans focus on your individual credit and income. Commercial loans usually allow much larger amounts and have different tax treatment.

Is a personal guarantee required on business loans?

Yes, in almost all cases. Business owners with 20% or more ownership are typically required to personally guarantee the loan. This means you are personally responsible if the business cannot repay.
