What are Small Business Lines of Credit?
Think you don’t know anything about small business lines of credit? There’s a good chance you already have something similar to this borrowing tool in your purse or wallet. A business line of credit operates along the same lines as a credit card — albeit one with better rates, terms, and a higher spending limit.
1
Only pay interest on withdrawals.
Once you’re approved for this type of business financing, the lender will provide you with a credit line. Just like credit cards, the amount you are allowed to borrow and interest rate rely heavily on your credit score, time in business, revenue, and other factors.
2
Borrow as much (or as little) as you like.
With a credit line, you can choose to borrow as much or as little as you need, up to your credit limit. Most credit lines for small businesses are somewhere in the range of $50,000 to $500,000. At Solar Capital Group, we can approve lines of credit up to $1,000,000.
3
Give your business financial flexibility.
Many small business owners prefer lines of credit over receiving a lump sum as it allows them flexibility and discretion in terms of how and when the working capital will be applied.
4
How to Qualify
Generally speaking, most financial lenders only offer their best rates and terms to those with FICO® scores of 680 or better. If you are looking to take out a business line of credit but bad credit is giving you second thoughts, we have some great news for you.
