Business financing

Choose capital built around the way you plan.

Compare two flexible financing structures, understand what each may support, and begin with a guided application when the timing is right.

Two paths to consider

Match the structure to the job.

Neither option is automatically better. The useful question is which repayment and access pattern fits your business plan.

Defined funding

Term financing

Receive a fixed amount under an approved offer and repay according to that offer’s schedule.

Questions, answered

Financing basics.

How do I know which financing structure fits my business?

Start with how you expect to use the funds. A defined project may align with term financing, while recurring or less predictable needs may align with a line of credit. The right option depends on your cash flow, qualifications, provider review, and the terms of any offer.

Does starting an application guarantee an offer?

No. An application is only the beginning of a review. Eligibility, product availability, financing amount, costs, repayment structure, and final terms remain subject to the lending partner’s underwriting and approval.

What information should I have ready?

You may be asked for basic ownership and business information, recent business bank statements, revenue details, and a complete description of existing financing obligations. Additional documents may be requested based on the business and provider.

Are products available in every state and industry?

No. Availability can vary by state, business activity, provider requirements, and other eligibility factors. Review the state-availability and restricted-industries pages for current guidance.
