Business Lines of Credit



A business line of credit is typically an unsecured revolving line of credit that is tied directly to your business checking account. This can make a substantial amount of cash available to your business when you need it. Business lines of credit can be used to provide cash to help your business take care of short term needs.

Credit are lines are not tied to specific uses so they can be used for any need such as inventory, working capital, capital equipment or being able to take advantage of any opportunity. A business line of credit allows you to make fast decisions rather that having to wait on long turnaround loan approvals. That can mean an opportunity gained rather than an opportunity passing by.

Business lines of credit normally offer competitive interest rates depending on your business's credit rating. The rate is typically variable (adjustable) and based on the prime interest rate.

Most business lines of credit are considered an unsecured line of credit. That means your business is not required not required to provide collateral to secure the loan. Lenders are only able to do this by reviewing your personal credit scores, thereby using you as a personal guarantor of the Line of Credit and then they will look at the credit scores of your business.

Most lenders will require an automatic deduction from your business checking account as the method of payment. This makes it easy to make payments on time and will help your business to further build an excellent business credit rating.
