A business line of credit gives you access to funds when you need them — you draw what you need, pay interest only on what you use, repay, and the credit renews automatically. Our line of credit is ideal for managing cash flow, covering seasonal gaps, or maintaining a capital buffer for unexpected opportunities.
Unlike a term loan that gives you one lump sum, a line of credit is a flexible revolving facility. Think of it like a business credit card with much higher limits and lower rates — available when you need it, costing nothing when you don't.

Understanding the mechanics of a revolving credit facility helps you use it strategically. Unlike a term loan where interest accrues on the full amount from day one, a line of credit charges interest only on what you have actively drawn — making it the most cost-efficient tool for managing variable cash flow needs.

Qualification requirements vary by lender within our network, but general benchmarks include: 6+ months in business, $10,000+ monthly revenue, and active business bank account. No minimum credit score is required across the network — though higher scores open access to larger limits and better rates. Businesses with seasonal revenue are particularly well-suited since the revolving structure matches naturally with seasonal cash flow cycles.
