What is a Business Term Loan?

Business Term Loan

A business term loan is the most traditional type of small business loan. This is when a business receives a one-time lump sum of capital that is repaid at a fixed rate within a fixed period of time. Typically, the majority of business owners use such proceeds for major capital investment in their business.

Get the most from your small business

Since business term loans have tradionally been a bank product, the approval process is longer. As a result, applicants are held to a very high standard. The bank typically looks for business owners with strong business credit scores and high personal FICO/credit scores along with positive cash flow from their business. These types of loans are usually used for long-term investment of the business such as expansion, buying property, or purchasing expensive equipment.

A fixed rate keeps your payments predictable.

Your business term loan will typically have a fixed interest rate or fixed flat fee, which means your payments will stay the same over the lifetime of your 1-5 year term. This makes it easy to determine how much financing you can afford, as well as keep up with your monthly payments until the loan is paid off.
