A Short Term Business Loan is an unsecured (no collateral required) loan, which is typically offered to businesses over a short loan term of a year or less, though longer terms may be available depending on the loan specifics.

These loans typically have a medium interest rate for an unsecured loan, and can provide reasonable short term business financing, in large fund amounts, that are highly accessible for most small businesses.

The credit rating and other requirements are somewhat more stringent than those listed for bad credit business loans, but with correspondingly lower interest rates and higher borrowing amounts.

The requirements for an unsecured small business loan are fairly generous, stipulating a relatively low time in business, fairly low minimum credit score, and fairly modest minimum monthly revenues.

If you don’t have assets, or don’t wish to risk assets, to obtain funding from a traditional business loan, or your credit score or credit history are too limited to qualify, then an unsecured small business loan may be a perfect choice to help finance and grow your business.

Ultimately, like all financial decisions, you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons, and look at your options, to determine if an unsecured small business loan is the best choice for you and your unique situation.

If you need a large sum of money up-front, and expect to then repay it over time, a short term small business loan is a great form of short term business financing. This also assumes you have a sufficiently high credit score, business operational history, and meet the other lending requirements.

A line of credit is more geared toward flexibility – usually having much higher limits, but providing its utility on a rolling or revolving basis rather than a fixed, up-front sum. Depending on your intended use for the funds, a short term small business loan may be superior or inferior to a business line of credit.

It all depends on your individual business finance needs.

Short term business loans are ideal for situations where you need a large amount of money up-front to outlay, or are seeking to reinforce or buffer your bank balances against variable expenses and purchases.

There are no real restrictions on how you use the money, but the nature of a short term small business loan does dictate some of the most optimum uses of the funds.

• Purchasing inventory, especially if you are a product wholesaler or retailer – this is a costly capital outlay that is necessary to generate sales revenues
• Expanding your business with new clients, new markets, new personnel, new equipment, etc.
• Building new facilities or purchasing/leasing/renting additional workspace
• Adding labor, shifts, workers, and so on in support of large orders, business expansion, or regular business operational activities
• Buying out business partners or part owners of the business
• Undertaking new marketing efforts designed at increasing sales of your products or services and thus generating greater revenues over the long term

Short term business financing with a short term business loan is a fairly standard means of increasing your available capital and funding projects. These loans have a higher threshold for qualification than many other types of business loans we offer.

However, they offer competitive interest rates and terms, and unsecured funds that can be used as you see fit to serve your business’ needs.

• Stable up-front lump sum of money that is then repaid on a fixed structure over the term of the loan
• Lower interest rates than bad credit loans, due to the higher credit and business stability requirements of the loan
• Flexible, collateral-free funds that can be deployed as you see fit within your business
• Enable a wide range of business activities and expenses when internal funding and sales mechanisms do not provide enough liquidity or available capital
