Common questions
Term loans, answered plainly
How does a business term loan work?
A term loan delivers business capital as a single lump sum, repaid over an agreed repayment period. It's commonly used for larger, defined needs — expansion, major purchases, or refinancing eligible business debt — where the amount needed is known up front. Terms are set by each lender and are subject to lender underwriting and approval.
Term loan or line of credit — which should I choose?
Generally, a term loan fits larger one-time investments where the amount is known, while a line of credit fits ongoing or unpredictable needs because it revolves as balances are repaid. Many businesses use both at different times. We can help you determine which fits your situation; the final structure depends on the lender and program.
Does one late payment disqualify me?
Generally, no. A single negative item is weighed as part of your overall credit profile. We generally prefer negative items to be approximately two or more years old; more recent items can make underwriting more difficult. Subject to lender underwriting and approval.
