Frequently Asked Questions
What types of business loans are available?
Term loans (lump sum with fixed payments), SBA loans (government-backed, lower rates), equipment financing (secured by equipment), lines of credit (revolving), invoice factoring, and merchant cash advances. Each has different rates, terms, and qualification requirements.
What credit score do I need for a business loan?
Requirements vary by lender: SBA loans typically need 680+, traditional bank loans 700+, online lenders 550-600+. Higher scores get better rates. Lenders also consider business revenue, time in business, and cash flow.
How are business loan payments calculated?
Most use standard amortization: Payment = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n-1], where P=principal, r=monthly rate, n=term months. SBA loans may have variable rates tied to prime. Lines of credit often have interest-only periods.
What fees should I expect on a business loan?
Common fees include: origination (0.5-5% of loan), closing costs, appraisal fees, legal fees, and prepayment penalties. SBA loans have guarantee fees (0-3.75%). Always ask for the total cost and APR, not just the interest rate.
Should I get an SBA loan or traditional bank loan?
SBA loans have lower rates and longer terms but take 30-90 days to close and have strict requirements. Traditional loans close faster but may have higher rates. Consider SBA for larger amounts and longer terms, traditional for speed.
