How Business Line of Credit Work

Once approved, you get access to a credit line up to your approved limit. Draw any amount, any time. You only pay interest on the amount you've drawn. As you repay, your available balance replenishes - like a revolving door of capital.

What It Actually Costs

Business Line of Credit Pricing - Full Transparency

Interest Rate: 8% - 24% APR (typical range)

You only pay interest on the amount you draw - not the full credit limit
Rates depend on revenue, credit profile, and time in business
Revolving: repay and redraw without reapplying

Draw and Repayment:

Draw any amount up to your limit at any time
Monthly interest-only payments on outstanding balance (some lenders)
Weekly or monthly repayment schedules available

Fees

Origination fees of 0-2% may apply. Annual maintenance fees of $0-$200 with some lenders. No prepayment penalties.

How to Get the Best Rate

Higher monthly revenue and longer time in business qualify you for lower rates and higher limits. A strong bank balance with minimal overdrafts is the #1 factor.

Typical Cost Examples

$50K line at 12% APR, $30K drawn for 6 months = $1,800 total interest cost
$100K line at 18% APR, $75K drawn for 4 months = $4,500 total interest cost
$250K line at 10% APR, $250K drawn for 12 months = $25,000 total interest cost

Rates shown are typical ranges from lenders in our network. Your actual rate depends on revenue, time in business, credit profile, and draw patterns. Lines of credit typically cost less than working capital loans but may take 1-3 days longer to fund.

Full Transparency

Is Business Line of Credit Right for You?

Honest answer. Not every product is the right fit. Here's how to tell.

✅ Good Fit If…

You want on-demand access to capital without reapplying each time
Your funding needs are unpredictable or come in waves
You only want to pay for the capital you actually use
You have a 550+ credit score and at least 6 months in business
You want to build business credit through revolving usage
You need a financial safety net for unexpected expenses
You prefer flexibility over a one-time lump sum

🚫 Consider Something Else If…

You need a large lump sum for a one-time investment — a Term Loan provides higher amounts with fixed payments
You need same-day funding urgently — a Working Capital Loan or Merchant Cash Advance funds faster
You have very low credit and limited revenue history — Working Capital has no credit minimum
You need to finance specific equipment — Equipment Financing offers longer terms with the asset as collateral
You want the absolute lowest rates and can wait — an SBA Loan offers prime-based rates over longer terms

★★★★★

Having a $100K line of credit open before I needed it was the best financial decision I made. Drew $40K for inventory, repaid it in 3 weeks, paid almost nothing in interest.
