Browse through our list of frequently asked business line of credit questions,
and get the answers you are looking for.
- What is a business line of credit?
A business line of credit is a flexible financing solution that lets you borrow what you need, when you need it, from a predetermined amount of money. You can draw as much as you want, up to the maximum amount.
- What is the difference between a business line of credit and a business loan?
A business line of credit is an account that lets you draw funds, pay them back (with interest), and redraw them. You are only required to make payments on the funds you borrow. A small business loan is a lump sum of money that requires monthly payments until the loan is paid off, even if you don’t use the funds during a certain time frame.
- How do I pay back what I borrow?
As mentioned in the question above, you will only need to make payments on what you borrow. Here is an example: Let’s say you own a restaurant and have a $200,000 line of credit and draw $50,000 to buy new furniture and fixtures. You only pay back the $50,000 you borrowed, plus interest, and the $150,000 is available should you need to draw it in the future.
- What will my interest rate be?
That depends on several factors, including your time in business, credit rating, and annual revenue.
- What are the repayment terms?
