Term Loan vs LOC vs SBA
*Larger lines available across products when revenue, cash flow, and story qualify.
Bobby's take:
A term loan is the right product when you know exactly what you need and exactly how much. Second location? Partner buyout? Facility purchase? Fixed amount, fixed payments, done. Don't use a term loan for ongoing cash flow — that's what a LOC is for. And if you can wait 60-90 days and have strong financials, check SBA first. But if you need to move in the next 2 weeks, a term loan through our network is your fastest path to real capital.

Every Objection Answered
Can I pay it off early?
Most term loans in our network allow early payoff — many with no prepayment penalty. Some SBA loans have a 3-year prepayment penalty window. We’ll tell you the exact terms before you sign. If early payoff matters to you, we’ll prioritize lenders that offer it.
What if the investment doesn’t pay off?
That’s a real risk — and it’s why we help you run the numbers before you borrow. If your expansion generates significantly more revenue per month than the loan payment, you’re net positive from day one. If the math doesn’t work, we’ll tell you. Pre-qualify to see your actual payment.
Why not just use an SBA loan?
SBA loans have the lowest rates and longest terms (up to 25 years), but take 30-90 days and deny over half of applicants. If you qualify and can wait, SBA wins on cost. If you need funds in under 2 weeks, a term loan fills the gap.
I need more than $500K — is that possible?
Yes. Our network funds term loans up to $5M. Amounts over $500K typically require stronger financials — 2+ years in business, $50K+ monthly revenue, and a clear use of funds. SBA 7(a) loans go up to $5M with competitive rates for qualified borrowers.
Are the rates negotiable?
Not directly — but here’s what works better: we send your application to 70+ lenders simultaneously. They compete for your business. Competition drives rates down more effectively than negotiation. Strong revenue, good credit, and clear use of funds get you the best offers.
How long does approval take?
Marketplace term loans: 3-10 business days from application to funding. SBA term loans: 30-90 days. For amounts under $250K with strong financials, we’ve funded in as fast as 3 days. Having your financials organized speeds everything up.
Don’t Wait for Perfect Terms
Business opportunities don’t wait for ideal financing conditions. Many of our lending partners offer a rate review after 6-12 months of on-time payments — meaning your rate and terms can improve once you’ve built a payment history. Term loan borrowers who make 6-12 months of on-time payments frequently qualify for refinancing at better rates — especially as their revenue grows and business profile strengthens. Get funded now on terms that work. Optimize later once you’ve proven the relationship.
Ask your funding specialist about rate review options after 6-12 months.
