Term Loans
Need Larger Loans With Predictable Payments?
What Are Business Term Loans?
A business term loan is a traditional lump-sum loan that provides your business with a fixed amount of capital upfront, which you repay over a set period (the "term") with regular monthly or weekly payments. Think of it as the classic business loan structure that's been helping companies grow for decades. Term loans are ideal for significant business investments and long-term growth initiatives. Whether you're purchasing equipment, expanding your facility, acquiring another business, or making other substantial investments, term loans provide the substantial capital you need with the predictability of fixed payments and competitive interest rates. Unlike revolving credit lines or merchant cash advances, term loans give you a single disbursement of funds with a predetermined repayment schedule, making budgeting and financial planning straightforward and manageable.
Why Choose Business Term Loans?
Fixed Interest Rates
Lock in your rate at approval. Your payments stay the same throughout the loan term, protecting you from market fluctuations and rate increases.
Predictable Payments
Know exactly what you owe each month. Fixed payment schedules make budgeting simple and eliminate financial surprises.
Larger Loan Amounts
Access $10,000 to $5 million in funding. Term loans provide substantial capital for major business investments and expansion projects.
Longer Repayment Terms
Spread payments over 1 to 10 years. Longer terms mean lower monthly payments, improving your cash flow management.
Lower Total Cost
Term loans typically offer the lowest interest rates among business financing options, especially for established businesses with strong credit.
Build Business Credit
Regular, on-time payments to your term loan help establish and improve your business credit profile for future financing needs.

FAQs:
How do term loans work?
Apply online – Submit a quick application in just a few minutes.

How long does it take to get approved and funded?
Initial approval typically takes 24-72 hours after submitting your application. Once you provide all required documentation, final approval and funding usually occurs within 5-7 business days. SBA loans take longer (4-8 weeks) due to additional government processing requirements.
Is collateral always required for term loans?
Not always. Smaller term loans (under $100,000) may be unsecured, especially for businesses with strong credit and revenue. Larger loans typically require collateral such as equipment, real estate, inventory, or other business assets. The collateral requirement depends on loan amount, your qualifications, and lender requirements.
Can I pay off my term loan early?
Most of our term loan programs allow early repayment, though some may have prepayment penalties (typically 1-3% of remaining balance if paid off in the first 1-2 years). We clearly disclose any prepayment terms before you sign. Many borrowers refinance to better terms once their business strengthens.
What documents do I need to apply?
You'll need: business and personal tax returns (2 years), business bank statements (3-6 months), profit & loss statement, balance sheet, business licenses, and photo ID. For real estate purchases, you'll also need property information. We'll guide you through exactly what's needed for your specific situation.
Can startups get term loans?
Traditional term loans typically require at least 2 years in business. However, startups with strong personal credit (720+), significant industry experience, solid business plans, and collateral may qualify for startup term loans through specialized lenders. Working capital loans or equipment financing may be easier for newer businesses.
What credit score do I need?
Most term loan lenders require a minimum personal credit score of 650, though some programs accept 600+. Higher credit scores (700+) qualify for better rates and terms. If your credit is below 650, consider working capital loans or merchant cash advances while building your credit for better term loan options later.
How do term loan payments work?
Term loans typically have fixed monthly payments that include principal and interest, similar to a mortgage. You'll receive an amortization schedule showing exactly how much of each payment goes toward principal versus interest. Payments are usually automatically debited from your business bank account on your scheduled due date.
