How does our Small Business Loan compare to a traditional Line of Credit?
When business owners need capital to cover expenses, they often have two options at their disposal: business loans and lines of credit. Both offer access to financing that can help a business grow, but there are some key differences between the two. Understanding these differences is essential for business owners who want to make an informed decision about their financial future. In this article, we'll explore the similarities and differences between business loans and lines of credit so you can make the best choice for your business.
The main difference between a business loan and line of credit is how much money you can borrow at one time. A business loan gives you access to a lump sum payment which must be paid back over a set period with agreed-upon interest rates or fees depending on the type of loan taken out. On the other hand, with a line of credit, businesses have ongoing access to funds up to an approved limit as long as they remain within it – payments only need be made when money is withdrawn from the account rather than in regular installments like with a loan.
With both types of funding option, repayment terms vary based on factors such as business size, business performance and credit score. Business loans may require collateral or a personal guarantee from the business owner in order to secure funding, while lines of credit do not generally require any form of security. Additionally, business loan terms tend to be shorter than those for a line of credit.
The interest rate applied to either option is also important to consider when deciding which one is best for your business. Generally, business loans have higher interest rates than lines of credit as lenders view them as more risky investments due to their larger sums and longer repayment periods. On the other hand, lines of credit often come with lower rates because they are guaranteed with collateral such as real estate or equipment so they present less risk to lenders.
