Business Line
of Credit

Revolving capital you draw on when you need it and pay interest only on what you use. The structure most owners should look at first, because it costs nothing to hold and everything to not have.

Is this the right fit?

A line of credit is the most flexible thing on this list, which also means it is the most often mismatched. Here is the honest read.

Good fit if

  • Your revenue is uneven month to month and you need a cushion, not a lump sum
  • You want capital available before you need it, without paying to hold it
  • You are covering payroll gaps, inventory buys, or slow-paying invoices
  • You have at least six months of business bank statements

Probably not if

  • You need one large sum for a single fixed purchase — a term loan costs less
  • You are buying equipment that could serve as its own collateral
  • Your business is under six months old with no deposit history
  • You want the lowest possible rate and can wait — look at SBA first

What you will need

  • Three to six months of business bank statements
  • Basic business details — entity type, EIN, time in business
  • Average monthly revenue
  • A photo ID for the owner or owners on the file

Typical terms

These are the ranges we see across our funding partners. Your actual offer depends on revenue, time in business, and credit profile — and is set by the partner, not by us.

TermTypical range
Credit limit$10,000 to $500,000
Draw period6 to 24 months, often renewable
InterestCharged only on the drawn balance
RepaymentWeekly or monthly, depending on partner
CollateralOften unsecured; a personal guarantee is common
PrepaymentUsually no penalty — confirm on your specific offer

Ranges are illustrative and are not an offer of credit. Rates, fees, and terms are determined solely by the funding partner and disclosed to you before you sign.

Common questions

Does applying affect my credit score?

Not at the review stage. We use a soft pull to understand your profile, which does not affect your score. A funding partner may run a hard inquiry only after you choose to move forward with a specific offer, and they will tell you before they do.

What does it cost to keep a line open?

With most of our partners, nothing while the balance is zero. Some charge a small annual or draw fee. That will be on the offer you receive, and we will point at it before you sign.

How fast can I actually draw funds?

For a complete file with clean statements, approval is usually the same or next business day and funds are available within one to three business days. Incomplete statements are the single biggest cause of delay.

Do you lend the money yourselves?

No. Select Loan Advisors is an advisory service. We review your file and refer it to third-party funding partners who make their own credit decisions and issue their own agreements. We are compensated by those partners.

Other options to compare

A fixed amount over a fixed schedule. Cheaper than a line if you know exactly what you are buying.

Revenue-Based Funding

Repayment that flexes with daily sales. Faster and looser on credit, but a higher cost of capital.

SBA Loan

The lowest cost on this list, and the slowest. Worth it when the timeline allows.
