Business Term Loan

A business term loan is a lump sum of capital that a business borrows and repays with interest over a fixed period. They’re typically used for specific, larger expenses like equipment purchases or expansion. These loans have set repayment schedules, usually monthly, with terms that can range from a few months to several years, depending on the loan agreement.

How To Use Term Loans

Use a business term loan to fund significant investments like expanding locations, supporting cash flow, or boosting inventory, which helps support growth and operational efficiency. Additionally, they can assist with refinancing high-interest debt or funding marketing efforts, making it easier for businesses to manage cash flow and drive revenue.

Whether opening a new storefront, expanding into a larger space, or renovating existing facilities, small business loans offer the capital needed to grow strategically without disrupting core operations.

Funding Expansion Efforts

Supporting Cash Flow

Term loans can help stabilize cash flow during seasonal or slow periods, enabling businesses to cover ongoing expenses like payroll and overhead while still having the flexibility to focus on long-term growth goals.

Access to loan funding enables businesses to upgrade outdated equipment, invest in new tools, or implement technology improvements that increase efficiency and productivity.

Acquiring Inventory in Bulk

With a term loan, businesses can purchase inventory in bulk to better meet customer demand, lower their per-unit costs, and ensure they have a reliable supply for busy periods.
