You receive a lump sum and repay in fixed monthly installments over the agreed term (1-5 years). Interest rates are fixed at origination. Payments are predictable and consistent, making budgeting straightforward.

Consolidating high-cost existing debt
Businesses wanting predictable monthly payments
Opening a second location or expanding facilities

Real Scenarios

Who Uses Term Loans?

These are the kinds of situations where term loans make the most sense.

Dental Practice Expansion

A dentist takes a $250K term loan to build out two additional operatories and hire a hygienist, repaying in fixed monthly installments over four years.

Debt Consolidation for a Retailer

A multi-location retailer consolidates three high-cost working capital advances into a single $300K term loan, cutting monthly payments by forty percent.

Warehouse Buildout

A wholesale distributor borrows $500K to add racking, climate control, and a loading dock to their existing warehouse, budgeting fixed payments against steady revenue.

Marketing Agency Hiring Spree

A digital marketing agency secures $150K to hire five new account managers and fund three months of salaries before new client revenue ramps up.

Fleet Vehicle Purchase

A plumbing company takes a $200K term loan to purchase four new service vans, spreading the cost over three years with predictable monthly payments.

Technology Infrastructure Overhaul

An accounting firm borrows $80K to upgrade servers, workstations, and cybersecurity systems across two offices, paying monthly over two years.

Term Loans vs Working Capital

Term loans offer lower rates and monthly payments but take slightly longer to fund (2-7 days vs same day). Best for planned investments where you don't need emergency-speed funding.

Typical Cost Examples

$100K term loan, 12% APR, 3 years = $3,321/month - $119,556 total
$250K term loan, 9% APR, 5 years = $5,187/month - $311,220 total
$500K term loan, 15% APR, 4 years = $13,912/month - $667,776 total

Rates shown are typical ranges from lenders in our network. Term loans offer a middle ground between fast working capital and slow SBA loans - competitive rates with funding in days, not months.

Is Term Loans Right for You?

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

✅ Good Fit If…

You want predictable fixed monthly payments you can budget around
You have a credit score of 600+ and at least 1 year in business
You need a large lump sum for a planned investment or expansion
You prefer lower rates than working capital or merchant cash advances
You want to build business credit through consistent on-time payments
You are consolidating high-cost existing debt into a single payment
You can wait 2-7 business days for funding

🚫 Consider Something Else If…

You need funding today or tomorrow - Working Capital or a Merchant Cash Advance is faster
Your credit score is below 600 - Working Capital and Revenue-Based Financing have no credit minimums
You want payments that flex with your revenue - Revenue-Based Financing adjusts automatically
You want the absolute best rates and longest terms and can wait months - an SBA Loan is the gold standard
You only need to draw funds occasionally on demand - a Business Line of Credit offers revolving access
