Zenith Capital

In the Philippines, small businesses are considered the backbone of the industry that drives the economy forward. With small businesses, the actual test of how economies work is seen – with more and more small businesses thriving and prospering, more jobs are created within communities. With more jobs, the quality of living of Filipinos is also uplifted.

 

Of the businesses in the country, 99.6% of those businesses are SMEs, making it a driving force of the Philippine economy. SMEs account for 65% of the total workforce and take up 35% of the country’s GDP.

 

One issue that small businesses face when growing their business is the need for additional capital. For this reason, Zenith Capital offers loans to small and medium-size businesses, not just for large companies who have already made their mark in the industry. It is through their initiative to help businesses that economies flourish.

Zenith was founded in the Philippines in October of 2017 and even though they have just been around a few years, they have already helped several businesses reach their goals. 

 

Types of Loans & Services Offered

 

There are many ways why a business may need financing. For example, some businesses may face a cash crunch due to delays in the receivables, or some customers may be paying PDCs which is normal for some business clients. Another reason for it would be to address the business needs of expansion – there could be demands in the products or services and additional production will be required, or to address the need for additional working capital in order to serve a broader market and perhaps add more product lines to the existing one.  

 

Zenith offers only one type of loan product: Business Loans. And for this type of loan, they can provide two types of business loans:

 

Secured Business Loan

 

This type of loan is backed by collateral for security. Zenith will approve higher loan amounts with secured business loans, depending on the kind of security backing the loan. 

 

Unsecured Business Loan

 

As the name suggests, an Unsecured Business Loan will not require any form of collateral for the loan application to be approved. Therefore, just as long as all the documents required by Zenith are completely submitted, business owners need not worry about getting approved. 

 

Loan Amount: Php500,000 to Php20,000,000

Loan Term: approved term of up to 6 months

Interest Rate: starts at 3.5% per month

Why Choose Zenith Capital

 

With just a few years of presence in the Philippines, Zenith Capital has proved that what they offer to businesses in the country is competitive. Other than that, here are the other reasons why business owners should choose Zenith Capital in reaching the goals of their businesses:

 

Requires Basic Requirements to Process a Loan

 

Zenith won’t be needing requirements that a business doesn’t have. The requirements will depend on the business ownership type – sole proprietorship, partnership or a corporation. Sole proprietorships and partnerships will only have to submit identification, permits, proof of billing, bank statements, etc. Only those applying as a corporation will need to present an audited financial statement. 

 

These requirements are already well within the possession of these businesses, so coming up with them will not take a lot of time. 

 

Quick Approval and Loan Release

 

Understanding that time is of the essence for businesses, Zenith ensures that loan applications are processed, approved and released on time. That being said, loan proceeds are typically released within 7 days from loan approval. This means that businesses will be able to immediately work on their goals – for expansion or to meet their day to day operational needs. 

 

Some financing institutions might require more days to process loan applications because of the documentation they need from their customers. One reason why processing takes longer is because of the completeness of the documents. With Zenith, they make sure that the application is hassle-free. 

 

Higher Approval Rate

 

With secure business loans, Zenith will be able to provide financing that is based on the collateral provided. With unsecured business loans, the approval is based on the documents that borrowers have to submit – and they do not require unnecessary documents to be obtained and submitted to them. It’s simple and easy to fulfill. 

 

Convenient 

 

Not having to constantly travel back and forth for your loan application at only certain office hours during the weekday is beneficial for business owners who have a business to run. Not only that, they get to save the time that they must sit in traffic for other more productive things to do in the office. 

 

Time is not just the only thing that most people have to spend when processing their loan applications. Sometimes, it is also the cost of transportation that they will have to spend. The point is, with online applications, business owners are afforded the convenience it brings by being able to submit their loan applications at any time and anywhere just as long as they have all the requirements ready to be submitted. 

 

Fees are Completely Transparent

 

Zenith won’t charge their customers beyond what has already been discussed and included in the loan terms. Customers are also free to inquire what else they have to pay apart from the principal loan amount and the interest. Amortizations are paid monthly until the end of the loan term, and typically, that already includes all they have to pay for. Other fees such as the processing fee will already be deducted when the loan amount is released.

Loan applications are completely made online whether it is for the application of a secured business loan or an unsecured business loan. To start your loan application process, you may follow the steps indicated below:

Frequently asked questions

Is there a loan processing fee? What is the rate?

Yes, there is a loan processing fee that is charged at 5% of the principal loan and shall be deducted from the loan proceeds once approved.

How do I pay for my monthly amortization?

Payments are to be done through Post-Dated Checks (PDCs) and this is why borrowers are asked in the beginning of the loan application if they have a checking account. The monthly amortization is typically the principal monthly payment + the interest.

How long do I have to wait until my approved loan is released?

Once the loan is approved, Zenith strictly endeavors to release the proceeds within 7 days.
