Brief summary

Refinancing a business loan means replacing existing business financing with a new loan. It can be relevant if your current financing no longer fits your company's cash flow or situation. You can also consolidate several business loans. Always compare the total cost, term and any early repayment charges before switching.

What is business loan refinancing?

Refinancing means replacing existing business financing with new financing.

You may have taken out a business loan when your company was smaller. Since then, revenue may have grown, cash flow may have changed or your financing needs may be different.

In that situation, you can assess whether a new business loan is a better fit for your company today.

Refinancing does not have to take place with the same lender. An existing loan can also be replaced by financing from another bank or lender.

Why refinance a business loan?

There are several reasons to review existing business financing.

Your current financing no longer fits your business

A loan that suited your company a few years ago may not be the best solution today. Your company may have grown, income may be more stable or your financing needs may have changed.

You want to review your monthly payments

Refinancing can be used to adjust repayment to the company's current cash flow.

A longer term may reduce monthly payments, but it can also increase the total financing cost.

You want to compare financing costs

Financing terms and available solutions change over time. It can therefore make sense to compare the remaining cost of your current loan with a new financing offer.

Do not look only at the monthly payment. Focus on the total cost of financing. If you want an initial estimate, use the business loan calculator.

You want a clearer overview

If your company has several business loans or credit facilities, refinancing can also be used to consolidate them.

This can mean fewer loans, terms and payment dates to manage.

Consolidating business loans

Refinancing can apply to a single business loan, but several business loans can also be consolidated.

For example, a company may have:

  • A business loan
  • A business credit facility
  • Short-term financing

These financing arrangements may have different terms, costs and payment dates.

With new financing, it may be possible to repay several existing debts and replace them with one solution. This can simplify administration and make monthly obligations easier to understand.

However, consolidation does not automatically make financing cheaper. Always compare the total cost before and after the change.

Refinancing or consolidating loans: what is the difference?

Refinancing means replacing existing financing with new financing. It can involve just one loan.

Consolidating business loans means replacing several existing financing arrangements with one new solution.

Loan consolidation is therefore one form of refinancing, but refinancing does not always mean combining several loans.

Example of business refinancing

Imagine a company that took out a business loan two years ago to invest in new equipment.

Since then, the business has grown and its financial situation has changed. The owner therefore wants to assess whether the existing financing still fits the company.

The company applies for new business financing and compares the remaining cost of the current loan, the cost of the new financing, monthly payments, term and any early repayment charges.

If the new financing is a better fit, it can be used to repay the existing loan.

What should you consider when refinancing?

A new loan is not automatically better than your current financing.

Compare the outstanding balance, total financing cost, term, monthly payments and any early repayment charges. The business loan interest rate or pricing model also matters.

Also consider the impact on cash flow. Lower monthly payments may look attractive, but if they result from a much longer term, the total cost can increase.

When can refinancing be useful?

Refinancing may be relevant if your company has grown, monthly payments no longer fit the cash flow, you want to compare older financing with today's options, or several loans and credit facilities have accumulated over time.

If the need is mainly temporary, for example to bridge a short period between expenses and income, a bridge loan may be a better fit than full refinancing.

When may refinancing be less useful?

Sometimes keeping the existing loan is the better option. Your current financing may already have favourable terms, and there may be costs associated with early repayment.

Do not refinance only to reduce the monthly payment. Consider what the change means for the company's total financial position.

Business loans and cash flow

Refinancing can help align existing obligations more closely with your company's cash flow.

If you mainly need extra room for inventory, ongoing costs or other everyday business expenses, working capital financing may be a more targeted solution.

For day-to-day business spending such as travel, software or other purchases, a business credit card can complement a business loan.

How does refinancing work with Qeld?

1. Apply for a business loan

Enter the amount your company needs and provide the requested business information. Applying is free and non-binding.

2. Qeld assesses your business

Qeld reviews each application based on the company's financial situation, including cash flow and ability to repay.

3. Compare the offer

If you receive an offer, compare it with your current financing. Review total cost, term and monthly obligations before deciding whether to repay existing financing.

4. Repay existing financing

If you accept the offer and the financing is paid out, the funds can be used to repay an existing business loan or other financing.

Always check whether your current lender charges for early repayment.

Refinancing for different businesses

Different companies have different financing needs.

A self-employed business owner may want to replace a relatively small financing arrangement. Read more about a loan for self-employed professionals.

For a growing BV, larger or multiple financing arrangements may be involved. In that case, a business loan for a BV may be relevant.

Frequently asked questions about business refinancing

What does refinancing a business loan mean?

It means replacing existing business financing with a new loan. This can be with the same lender or a different provider.

Can you refinance a business loan?

Yes. New business financing can be used to repay an existing loan. Whether it is financially worthwhile depends on the costs and terms of both financing arrangements.

Can you consolidate several business loans?

In some cases, yes. New financing can be used to repay several existing business loans or credit facilities and replace them with one financing solution.

Is refinancing the same as consolidating loans?

Not exactly. Refinancing can apply to one loan, while consolidation means replacing several financing arrangements with one new solution.

Does refinancing make a business loan cheaper?

Not automatically. A new financing solution may have different monthly payments, terms or duration. Always compare the total cost.

Can a longer term reduce monthly payments?

Yes, but you may pay financing costs for longer, which can increase the total cost.

What should I check before refinancing?

Compare the remaining total cost, monthly payments, term, any setup fees and any early repayment charges on your current financing.
