Looking for an SME Business Loan
in Singapore?

An SME loan, also known as a business loan, is a type of financing designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore access working capital for business needs such as expansion, payroll, inventory purchases, equipment, or short-term cash flow management.
Depending on the financing provider and product type, SME business loans may be secured or unsecured, with different financing amounts, repayment terms, and approval requirements.

Funding Societies offers a range of SME financing options to support businesses at different growth stages.

General criteria may include:

• Singapore-registered business

• local shareholding requirements

• operating history requirements

• guarantor requirements

• supporting financial documentation

Not all SME loans require collateral.
Funding Societies offers both secured and unsecured business financing options in Singapore. Unsecured financing options, such as certain term loans or working capital products, do not require business owners to pledge assets as security.

For businesses seeking larger financing amounts or longer repayment terms, secured financing options such as Property Backed Secured Financing may be available.

SME business loan interest rates in Singapore vary depending on the financing product, loan amount, repayment tenure, business profile, and credit assessment.

For example, short-term financing products may have different pricing structures compared to longer-term or secured financing solutions.
