Business Term Loans in Singapore

A fixed sum for a planned business investment, repaid in instalments agreed upfront – from a licensed money lender you can verify.

What is a Business Term Loan ?

A business term loan gives your business a fixed sum upfront, which you repay in regular instalments over an agreed period. It suits planned, one-off spending – a new machine, a fit-out, a second outlet – where you know how much you need and when the investment should start paying for itself.

SGP Credit is a licensed money lender based in Jurong East, holding licence number 10/2026. We offer business term loans to Singapore-registered SMEs – sole proprietorships, partnerships and companies – with the amount, term and any security worked out around your business, subject to approval. Before you sign, you’ll see every instalment, every fee and the total you’ll repay.

So there is this unsaid common rite of passage that small and medium businesses experience. It is usually a lack of funds. However, the truth is that your business does not have to go through the same ordeal. To save your business from the dilemma of limited funds, you can obtain loans at reasonable and convenient repayment plans. 

It is no news that every loan agreement contract contains some terms and conditions, so you, therefore, have to consider the terms of each contract before agreeing to it. By the laws guiding loans in Singapore, moneylenders have the responsibility to explain the terms of their contract to you before an agreement is reached. Also, you shouldn’t sign a contract whose repayment plan or interest rate is not convenient for you. Avoid any agreement that places a caveat on your property such that you cannot sell your property to pay the loan. This is true because eventually, such caveats leave little or no proceeds from either the loan or the sale of the property. Even if you’re desperate to get a loan, you should check out different moneylenders for the most favourable terms to be sure you have the best offer you can get.

100% secure

We are committed to protecting your personal information and transactions. You can rest assured your information is safeguarded and protected.

What to expect when you take out a loan from a licensed moneylender?

You must understand that the maximum interest rate as prescribed by the law is 4% per month on every late repayment. Therefore, contracts that demand higher rates should be null and void under the law. This interest will only apply on the rest of the unpaid principal in case you have repaid part of it. Also, this interest is on money paid late.

Knowing fully well that some loansharks parade themselves as licensed moneylenders, you must understand that you have to verify if they are licensed by checking the list of licensed moneylenders. Even if they are verified, you should still be careful of moneylenders who use abusive language or threatening gestures, who ask for your SingPass ID and password, who retain your NRIC card or any other ID documents, who ask you to sign incomplete or blank notes of contracts, or who grant you a loan without exercising due diligence or giving you a copy of the agreement.

After being granted the loan, make sure you get the correct principal amount of the loan. The moneylender is only permitted to deduct 10% of the principal amount as your loan approval fee upfront. You should pay the loan instalments on time. You should make sure to receive a receipt for all repayments and a bank statement every six months. Don’t forget to check the correctness of each document.

Not to a lender, an “agent”, or anyone offering to speed up your application. A licensed money lender is not allowed to ask for it. If you’re unsure about a lender, check its name, address and website against the List of Licensed Moneylenders before you go any further.

How SME Loan Costs Are Regulated

Singapore’s Moneylenders Rules treat business loans differently from personal loans. Here’s what changes – so you know exactly what to look for in your contract.

Personal loansSME business loans
Interest rateCapped at 4% per monthNo statutory cap – the rate is agreed in your contract
How interest is worked outOn the principal still owed each monthSame – on the principal still owed each month
Late interestUp to 4% per month, on the overdue amount onlyOn the overdue amount only; no statutory rate cap
FeesLate fee of up to S$60 a month; approval fee of up to 10% of the principal; court-ordered legal costsOnly those the Rules list: late payment, contract changes you ask for, a dishonoured cheque or failed GIRO, early redemption or termination of a term loan, and court-ordered legal costs
Total cost capInterest, late interest and fees together can't exceed the principalDoes not apply
Repayment scheduleEqual instalments at equal intervals (except secured and revolving credit loans)Instalments don't have to be equal, so the schedule can follow your cash flow
Cooling-off period3 business days for unsecured loans disbursed from 15 September 2026Does not apply

A “business loan” here means a loan to a Singapore company, a limited liability partnership, or a registered business (such as a sole proprietorship or partnership) that has been operating for at least one year. A loan to a business that’s been running for less than a year isn’t a business loan under the Rules, so the rules for other loans apply.

A lender can’t charge you any fee that isn’t on the permitted list (stamp duty and other statutory fees aside) – if a contract asks for one, it can’t be recovered from you.

What you’ll get in writing before you sign

Before granting any loan, a licensed money lender must tell you all of the following in writing. For a term loan, that includes the full instalment plan.

Think twice before agreeing to a caveat on your property.

If a loan is secured against property, read the security terms closely. The Registry of Moneylenders advises borrowers to consider carefully before agreeing to any term that lets a money lender lodge a caveat on the sale proceeds of their property if they default.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business term loan?

A fixed sum that your business repays in regular instalments over an agreed period. Under the Moneylenders Rules, it counts as a business loan when it’s made to a Singapore company, a limited liability partnership, or a registered business (such as a sole proprietorship) that has been operating for at least one year.

No. The 4% a month caps on interest and late interest, and the rule that total charges can’t exceed the principal, don’t apply to business loans. Interest is still worked out on the principal you still owe each month, late interest only on overdue amounts, and fees are limited to a set list. You’ll see the rate, every fee and the full instalment plan in writing before you sign.

Yes. For term loans, the Rules allow a lender to charge a fee for early redemption, or for ending the contract early, if your contract provides for it. We’ll tell you upfront whether one applies and how settling early changes your total cost.

It depends on the amount and your business’s profile, and we’ll tell you during the assessment whether any security is needed. If a loan is secured against property, read the security terms closely, especially any term that lets the lender lodge a caveat on the sale proceeds if you default.

No. The three-business-day cooling-off period that started on 15 September 2026 covers unsecured loans other than business loans. Take your time over the contract before you sign – we’ll explain every term first.

Sole proprietorships, partnerships and companies registered in Singapore that have been operating for at least a year. The owner or director applying must be at least 21 and a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident.

Yes. Licensed money lenders must meet the borrower in person at their approved place of business to verify identity before granting any loan. A loan done fully online isn’t allowed. Our office is a short walk from Jurong East MRT.

The correct principal amount, a copy of your loan contract, a receipt for every repayment, and a statement of account at least once every January and July. Check each one for the right name, amount and date.

Contact us before the due date. We’d much rather work out a revised schedule with you than see your business fall into arrears. Late interest is charged only on the overdue amount, so talking to us early keeps costs down.
