A Business Line of Credit is the most flexible solution available in the market today. It allows businesses to access funds as needed. A line of credit allows you to draw funds as needed, repay those funds and draw again. This solution differs from a traditional loan where a business receives a lump sum that must be paid within a predetermined term.
How to qualify?
Gross Revenue - You must meet minimum revenue standards of $600,000/year. Requirements may vary by industry type. Our specialists can help you find out if your business meets this requirement.
Time In Business - The business must be established and active for at least 2 years. Some businesses may get approved without meeting this requirement if they excel in other areas.
Credit Worthiness - Both the owner and their business should have a strong credit profile. A strong history of credit repayment goes a long way in securing a line of credit. Judgements and collections trigger an instant decline.
Positive Balances - Lenders want to see how you manage your revenue. Businesses with weak daily ledgers seldom get approved. You must show strong daily balances and cash in your bank account.
Industry Type - Requirements may vary with different industries. Reach out to us so we can guide you regarding the requirements necessary to get your business approved.
Use of Funds - As part of your application, you must indicate how you intend to use the funds. Personal expenses are forbidden. All allocated funds must be used for approved business expenses.
When is a Line of Creditthe right solution?
A line of credit is a great option for businesses at all stages. The bigger question is whether you can qualify? If you do, use the money wisely. Try to draw funds from your line every month and pay them back early. This will help minimize interest payments and help improve your business credit
