What Is a Small Business Term Loan?

A straightforward way to borrow a lump sum and repay it over a set schedule.

A small business term loan gives you a fixed amount of capital upfront that you repay in regular installments — weekly or monthly — over a defined period, typically 6 months to 5 years. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, and your payment schedule is set from day one, making budgeting predictable and easy.

Business term loans are ideal for planned investments: purchasing equipment, expanding a location, hiring staff, buying inventory, or covering a one-time large expense. Unlike a merchant cash advance, where repayment flexes with daily sales, a term loan has a fixed schedule — which can be an advantage for businesses with predictable cash flow.

Business Term Loan FAQs

Your questions answered.

What is a small business term loan?
A small business term loan is a lump sum of capital you repay in fixed weekly or monthly installments over a set period — typically 6 months to 5 years. You know your exact payment from day one, making it easy to budget and plan.
What credit score do I need?
Requirements vary by lender. Many alternative lenders in our network approve business term loans with credit scores starting around 550–600. We'll match you with the right lender for your credit profile — no credit check required to pre-qualify.
How fast can I get funded?
Alternative business term loans from our lender network typically fund within 1–3 business days. Traditional bank term loans take 2–4 weeks. We'll match you with the right lender based on your timeline.
Do I need collateral for a business term loan?
Most alternative lenders in our network offer unsecured business term loans — no collateral required. For very large loans ($500K+), some lenders may require a general lien on business assets, but we'll disclose this clearly before you commit to anything.
Is your service really free?
Yes — 100% free to you. We're compensated by the lender when your deal closes. This means we're motivated to find you the best deal, not just any deal, because our reputation depends on it.
