TROY, Mich., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Choosing the right type of lender can be puzzling for start-ups and established businesses alike. Crestmark, a provider of financial solutions for a wide range of industries, has released an infographic on "What Type of Lender Is Right for My Business?" It displays a creative flowchart of the basic differences between traditional and asset-based business lending, simplifying the choice.

"This infographic should be helpful for companies that are in the beginning stages of research for a business loan, but don't really know where to start," said Lisa Beattie, first vice president of marketing and communications for Crestmark. "It clarifies some key variations between a traditional bank and a non-traditional lender."

The creative infographic covers some of the factors involved, including business history and opportunities for growth. Once a business owner understands the differences, it's easier to make the right decision.

That's simply not the case," said Beattie, first vice president of marketing and communications for Crestmark. "Our team put together a snapshot of the thought process so that business owners can better understand their options."
