Business Term Loans

What is a business term loan?

A business term loan is a general term for all types of small business loans, which encompasses any loan for a small business that is eventually repaid, plus interest, to the lender. This includes loans such as short-term loans, business bridge loans, and working capital loans. A business loan through an alternative lender helps companies close gaps in financing or growth opportunities by making it easy to secure funding. While traditional banks often take months to get approved, our partners at SmallBusinessLoans.com offer quick turnarounds so businesses can get funds promptly.

How does a business term loan work?

Business term loans work like personal loans for the most part – the business owner receives a lump sum of capital from a lender and eventually repays the loan, plus interest, based upon an agreed repayment schedule. The key difference between a business and personal loan – besides the fact a business loan is intended for business use – is that the cost of a business term loan can be calculated by a factor rate rather than an annual percentage rate, also called an APR. With an alternative lender, business loan applications can be completed quickly. They often have more flexible qualifications with higher approval ratings. Once approved, the borrower typically receives funding within a few days.
