Please note: Borrowing money costs money
A business loan entails costs. Always compare multiple providers and look not only at the interest rate, but also at the total costs over the term. Only borrow what you actually need and make sure you can bear the monthly costs.

Business Loan as a Self-Employed Person: What Do You Need to Know?
As a self-employed person, you sometimes need extra capital for your business. Consider pre-financing a large order, purchasing tools or bridging a period with less income. A business loan can then offer a solution.
It used to be difficult to borrow money as a self-employed person. Banks asked for annual figures and guarantees that many self-employed people could not provide. Nowadays there are specialized lenders who look at your current turnover and bank transactions instead of historical figures.
Types of Business Loans for the Self-Employed
Microcredit (€500 - €5,000): Ideal for small bridges or the purchase of tools. Short term, quickly arranged. 5in5 specializes in this.
Business loan (€5,000 - €250,000): For larger investments such as a company car, renovation or stock. Duration often 1-5 years with fixed monthly costs.
Revolving credit: Flexible credit that you can take out when necessary. You only pay interest on the amount withdrawn.
Factoring: Sell your outstanding invoices for immediate cash. Useful for long customer payment terms.
Tips for Applying for a Self-Employed Loan
1. Compare multiple providers: Interest rates and conditions vary widely. Request a no-obligation quote from at least 2-3 parties.
2. Calculate the total costs: Don't just look at the interest, but at the total amount you repay, including all costs.
3. Don't borrow more than necessary: The more you borrow, the higher the costs. Determine exactly what you need.
4. Check the conditions: Can you make repayments without penalty? What happens in case of payment problems? Read the fine print.
