We Address Your Fears & Common Concerns About SME Loan

We Address Your Fears &
Common Concerns About SME Loan

Have you been scammed by fake loan consultants?

Are you worried about encountering scammers who promise to secure funding for your business but vanish after taking an upfront fee?

Are you afraid of dealing with illegal money lenders?

Do you fear that some consultants may secretly collaborate with unlicensed money lenders who charge exorbitant interest rates and engage in unethical practices?

Do you think consulting a loan expert is a waste of time?

Have banks rejected your SME loan applications due to insufficient documents, low monthly sales, or poor credit history, leaving you sceptical about whether a consultant can truly assist?

Concerned about hidden fees and extra charges?

Are you anxious about unexpected fees or charges that could strain your business’s finances and complicate loan repayment?

Worried about loans being submitted without your consent?

Do you fear that loan consultants might apply for financing on your behalf without your approval, resulting in loans you didn’t authorise or need?

Have you been rejected due to insufficient documents?

Are you concerned that incomplete financial reports or missing tax filings will stop you from securing an SME loan?

Does your low sales history affect loan approval?

Are you worried that unstable monthly sales or cash flow issues might lead banks to reject your loan application?

Is your business too new for banks?

Do you fear rejection because your company has been operating for less than three years, making banks hesitant to approve your loan?

Are high commitments hurting your chances?

Are your existing debts or financial obligations impacting your credit profile and limiting your loan approval opportunities?

Does your industry face restrictions?

Do you worry that banks might consider your industry too high-risk, leaving you without viable financing options?

How Bluebricks Stands Out

Discover how Bluebricks’ SME loan services address common concerns while ensuring your business gets the financing it needs:

No Upfront Payment

There are no upfront fees. Unlike scams that demand payment without delivering results, Bluebricks operates transparently. You only pay once your loan is approved.

Tailored Solutions for Low Sales or New Businesses

Whether your sales are low or your business is less than three years old, Bluebricks explores alternative options such as P2P lending or government-backed loans to increase your chances of approval.

Expert Guidance for High Financial Commitment

  • Only 1–2 banks out of 10 might consider approving loans for businesses with high commitments. Bluebricks provides expert guidance to:
    • Strategically lower your financial commitments.
    • Present improved income proof to enhance your eligibility.
  • Without proper advice, you may turn to high-interest alternatives like P2P loans, risking a debt spiral.

Customised Loan Packages

  • There is no “one-size-fits-all” loan. Bluebricks matches you with the loan package that fits your specific needs.
    • For example, if you require a large loan with a longer repayment tenure for a new project, Bluebricks ensures you don’t settle for inadequate funding.
  • Choosing the wrong loan wastes resources and opportunities.

Quick Proposal Turnaround (1-2 Days)

Receive a detailed, tailored proposal within 1-2 days. Bluebricks analyses your financial situation and recommends the best loan products to suit your business needs.

Transparent Fees

Bluebricks charges a single, clear fee. No hidden costs or unexpected charges. You know exactly what you’re paying for from the start.

Emergency Fund Options

For urgent cash flow needs or project kickstarts, Bluebricks offers temporary financial support from its own resources, ensuring your business remains operational while awaiting loan disbursement.

Signed Agreements for Full Control

Bluebricks signs agreements with you before submitting any loan applications, ensuring full transparency and control. No applications are made without your consent.

Protection Against Scammers and Illegal Money Lenders

Reputable consultants shield you from scams and unlicensed money lenders. Bluebricks guides you towards legitimate and secure financing options.

Maximising Your Loan Amount

  • Consultants leverage their expertise to help you secure the maximum loan amount possible.
    • They understand which banks may reject applications due to too many submissions and how to sequence applications effectively.
    • For instance, while you might qualify for RM 500,000 on your own, Bluebricks can help secure significantly more by targeting the right banks in the correct order.

Industry-Specific Guidance

For high-risk industries such as construction or pawnshops, Bluebricks identifies specialised lenders or financing solutions suited to your business profile.

Customised SME Financing Based on Your Business Blueprint

  • Every business is unique. Bluebricks tailors financing solutions to align with your operations and future goals.
    • Not all businesses need to maximise their loan amount upfront; consultants help determine the best sequence of products and banks for sustainable growth.
    • They also identify alternative financial products, such as invoice financing, which does not count as a loan commitment, allowing for flexible growth planning.
  • Bluebricks builds long-term partnerships that evolve with your business, focusing on sustained success and expansion.

SME Loan – FAQ

SME loans are typically available to businesses registered as sole proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies (Sdn Bhd), or limited liability partnerships (LLP) with a minimum operating history of 3 years and more, and stable financial records.

Bluebricks helps businesses of varying sizes, including start-ups and established enterprises, assess their eligibility and improve their chances of approval by providing expert guidance and tailored solutions.

The key documents required typically include:

  • Business registration documents (e.g., SSM certificates).
  • Latest 6 months’ bank statements to assess financial health.
  • Financial reports (audited for Sdn Bhd).
  • Tax filings (e.g., Borang B for sole proprietorships).
  • Directors’ or shareholders’ identification copies.

Yes, but options might be more limited for newer businesses. Many banks require at least 1–3 years of operating history to consider an application.

However, fret not!

Bluebricks specialises in securing financing for start-ups through alternative options such as government-backed loans, P2P lending platforms, and microfinancing, which cater specifically to younger businesses with less financial history.

Loan amounts typically range from RM50,000 to RM2 million, depending on your business’s revenue, profit margins, and financial standing. Bluebricks assesses your financials to recommend an appropriate borrowing amount that meets your needs while ensuring you avoid overleveraging your business.

Some common reasons for rejection include:

  • Low month-end balances or insufficient cash flow.
  • Incomplete or inaccurate documentation.
  • High financial commitments or poor credit history.
  • Operating in a high-risk industry.


At Bluebricks, we help businesses tackle these challenges by identifying and resolving potential issues before submitting loan applications.

Interest rates for SME loans in Malaysia typically range between 3.75% and 12.5%, depending on the type of loan, lender, and your business profile. Government-backed loans generally offer lower rates.

If your application is rejected, Bluebricks reviews the reasons for rejection and helps you address the issues, such as improving your financial records, restructuring your debts, or exploring alternative financing options like P2P lending.
