Proof, Not Promises

We've Funded Lines of Credit Across Every Industry

🏗️
ConstructionChicago, IL

$75K LOC for a landscaping company. Opened in August when revenue was strong. Draws $75K every November for winter payroll. Repays by May. Total interest cost: ~$2,800/season. Cost of losing his 4-man crew: $40K+ in rehiring.

Result: $75K LOC → $2,800 interest → crew retained every winter

📦
WholesalePortland, OR

$100K LOC for a distributor. Instead of factoring invoices at 3% per invoice ($36K/year on $100K/month), she draws from her LOC when cash is tight and repays when customers pay. Saves $28K/year vs factoring.

Result: $100K LOC → $28K/year saved vs factoring

🦷
HealthcareScottsdale, AZ

$200K LOC for a dental group. Insurance reimbursements take 60-90 days. LOC bridges the gap between treating patients and getting paid. Draw monthly, repay when reimbursements hit.

Result: $200K LOC → smooth cash flow → no more chasing insurance

🚛
TruckingDallas, TX

$100K LOC for a fleet owner who was factoring $150K/month at 3% per invoice. Switched to LOC at 15% APR. Saves $3,000/month. Keeps 100% of his freight revenue.

Result: $100K LOC → $3K/month savings → owns his revenue

🍽️
RestaurantAustin, TX

$50K LOC for a taco shop expanding catering. Draws $15K-$20K before each catering event for food and staff, repays within 2 weeks when the catering invoice clears. Only pays interest on what she draws.

Result: $50K LOC → catering revenue doubled → minimal interest

🔧
Auto RepairDenver, CO

$75K LOC for a shop owner. Parts suppliers want payment in 15 days, customers pay in 30-45. LOC bridges every gap. Draws average $30K at any time, repays as customers pay.

Result: $75K LOC → no more choosing which supplier to pay late

★★★★★

Opened a $100K line when business was good. Drew $40K last winter for payroll — repaid it in 3 months. Total cost was about $1,500. Best insurance policy I've ever bought.

You have $75K available but only drew $20K for 2 months? You paid $500. That's the power of a line of credit.

Bobby's take:

Every business should have a line of credit open before they need one. The worst time to apply is when you're desperate. Open it when your numbers look good, and it's there when you need it. Think of it like insurance — you don't buy homeowner's insurance after the fire.

Fear Removal

Every Objection Answered

💭

How is this different from a credit card?

Credit cards charge 18-29% APR and cap at $25K-$50K for most businesses. A business LOC gives you $10K-$5M at 10-18% APR with no transaction fees, no rewards markup, and no personal liability if structured correctly. It's a real business funding tool, not a consumer product.

📉

What if I draw too much and can't repay?

You control how much you draw. Most business owners use 30-50% of their available line at any given time. We size the line based on your revenue so the payments on a full draw are manageable. And unlike a term loan, you can make partial repayments anytime to reduce your interest cost.

🏦

My bank already gave me a small LOC

Most bank LOCs for small businesses cap at $25K-$50K. If that covers your needs, great. But if you need more — or if your bank's line has restrictions on draws, minimum balances, or annual reviews that could reduce your limit — a dedicated business LOC gives you more flexibility and higher limits.

I don't need money right now — why open one?

That's exactly when you should open one. Lenders give better terms when your financials look strong. Opening a LOC when you're desperate means higher rates, lower limits, or denial. Open it now, don't draw, pay nothing. When you need it in 6 months, it's there instantly.

💵

What are the fees beyond interest?

Most LOCs in our network have no annual fee, no draw fee, and no prepayment penalty. Some lenders charge a small origination fee (1-2%) or an annual maintenance fee ($50-$200). We'll break down every fee before you sign anything.

How fast can I draw funds once approved?

Same day. Once your LOC is open and active, draws typically hit your account within hours. Some lenders offer instant draws via their portal. No need to reapply or wait for approval on each draw.

FAQs

Business Line of Credit FAQs

Business Line of Credit — $10K to $5M Revolving, 70+ Lenders, One Application

A line of credit is the most underused tool in small business finance. Most owners don't think about it until cash gets tight — and that's the worst time to apply. Open a line when your revenue is strong, your bank statements look clean, and lenders are competing to give you the best terms. Then when November hits, or a customer pays 90 days late, or you need to stock up for a big order — draw what you need, repay when you can, and move on. Run the numbers on our line of credit calculator — you'll see why a LOC costs a fraction of what invoice factoring or MCAs charge.

We fund lines of credit for every industry: restaurant owners bridging slow seasons, wholesalers replacing expensive factoring, dental groups waiting on insurance reimbursements, trucking companies covering fuel costs between loads, and auto repair shops bridging the gap between parts purchases and customer payments. One 60-second application, no hard credit pull, and a specialist reviews your options within the hour.

A line of credit often funds equipment repairs, vehicle maintenance, and property improvements. If you need commercial coverage for your business assets, our sister company InsuranceService365.com provides business insurance across 29 states.
