A business term loan gives you a defined amount upfront and a clear repayment schedule — so you can plan confidently and keep your focus on the work.
A business term loan is a straightforward product: a lender gives you a fixed amount of capital, and you repay it over an agreed schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — with interest. The predictability is the point. You know exactly what you owe, exactly when, and exactly when you will be done. That makes it easier to budget, easier to project cash flow, and easier to stay focused on running the business rather than managing financing complexity.
Term loans are well-suited for investments with a defined scope: a second location, a marketing push into a new market, a large equipment purchase that doesn't fit the collateral profile of a standard equipment loan, a staffing build-out ahead of a contract, or a refinancing of higher-cost debt. Unlike a revolving line of credit, which you use and repay repeatedly, a term loan is a one-time draw — right for the moment when you know exactly what you need.
A term loan delivers a single lump sum upfront that you repay over a fixed schedule — ideal when you have a defined project or purchase in mind. A line of credit is revolving: you draw, repay, and draw again, paying interest only on what you use. Use a term loan when you know exactly what you need; use a line of credit when you want ongoing flexibility.
Most lenders in our network look for at least one year in operation, steady monthly revenue, and a personal credit score in the mid-600s or higher. Stronger profiles — longer history, higher revenue, better credit — unlock higher amounts and lower rates. We show you options across the spectrum so you can compare.
It depends on the lender and loan structure. Some offer prepayment-friendly terms; others include a small fee for early payoff. We surface this detail in each offer so you can factor it into your decision before signing anything.
