Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Line of Credit?

A line of credit is a pre-established amount of credit extended to a borrower by a lender that the borrower can draw against as needed. There usually aren’t any rules that dictate how the borrower can or should use the line of credit.

How Does A Line of Credit Differ From A Traditional Loan?

There are several ways a line of credit differs from a loan. First, the line of credit application process is simpler and approval usually takes days rather than weeks. When you obtain a loan, you are given a lump sum of money. With a line of credit, you have a maximum amount of money (or credit) available to you, but you use only what you need. With a loan, repayment is made in installments meaning that you’ll make equal monthly payments throughout the entire loan term. With a line of credit, you have more flexibility in how much you repay each month. Sometimes, you may only be required to repay the interest each month.

How Can I Use My Line of Credit?

A line of credit is generally used for short-term purchases. For example, some of your line of credit may be used for equipment purchase one month… some for inventory the next month… and so on. Access your money simply by writing a check. Payments are automatically deducted from your small business checking account. Interest will usually accrue only on the amount of money spent so far.

How Do I Qualify For A Line of Credit?

Most businesses owners that qualify for a line of credit have a 680+ FICO Score. Credit Lines are up to $30,000 per qualified location or $75,000 or more per relationship.
