What can I use a business line of credit for?
A business line of credit can be used for a wide range of short-term business needs, including payroll, inventory purchases, equipment repairs, seasonal cash flow gaps, and unexpected expenses. It gives your business flexible access to funds without applying for a new loan each time you need capital.
What is the difference between a business line of credit and a business term loan?
A business line of credit is a revolving credit facility. You draw funds as needed, repay them, and draw again up to your approved limit. You only pay interest on the amount you use. A business term loan provides a lump sum upfront that you repay over a fixed schedule with regular payments. A line of credit works best for ongoing or unpredictable cash flow needs. A term loan works best for a single large purchase or investment with a defined cost.
What does FSB look at when reviewing a business line of credit application?
FSB reviews your overall business financial picture, including your credit history, revenue, existing debt, and time in business. Strong financials and a consistent track record improve your chances of approval and help determine your credit limit. Contact an FSB business lender to discuss your specific situation before applying.
