Short-term loans excel when you have a specific goal and a defined amount. Here are the most common use cases. ### Renovation or Build-Out Upgrade your space, open a second location, or complete a tenant improvement before the lease requires it - without touching your cash reserves. ### Large Inventory Purchase Buy in bulk before a big season, lock in pre-price-increase pricing, or fulfill a large new order you wouldn't otherwise have inventory for. ### Hiring & Onboarding Land that great candidate, bring on a second crew, or staff up ahead of a busy period - before the revenue from that growth has arrived to pay for it. ### Equipment Down Payment Cover the down payment on a larger equipment lease or purchase, or bridge the gap between what you have and what the vendor requires upfront. ### Marketing Campaign Launch Spend on paid search, social ads, or direct mail at a level that actually moves the needle - then let the leads and revenue fund the repayment. ### Seasonal Demand Surge Fully staff, stock, and prep for your peak season - not half-ready because operating cash only stretched so far. Max out when it matters most. ## Simple qualifications. Real decisions. We built our approval process around your business's actual performance - not a credit score that doesn't tell the whole story. Here's what you need: - 6+ months in business At least six months of operating history shows us you have traction, not just a plan. - Consistent monthly revenue Revenue is a key signal. Stronger, more consistent revenue generally unlocks larger loan amounts and better terms. - Active business checking account We verify cash flow and deposit funds to your business account - a personal account isn't sufficient. - US-based operation We fund businesses in all 50 states. Your company must be registered and operating in the US. - No open bankruptcies Discharged bankruptcies may still qualify. Active, open bankruptcies are not eligible at this time. - All credit levels considered Our network of private lenders approves based on cash flow first. Imperfect credit is not automatically a disqualifier. ### Check your eligibility in a few minutes Applying is completely free and gives you a real answer from David - not an automated maybe.

A short-term business loan is a lump-sum funding product with a defined repayment period. You receive the amount upfront, then pay it back with regular payments over the agreed term. It's designed for businesses that need a specific amount of capital for a defined project or goal - not ongoing, open-ended cash needs. How is a short-term loan different from a line of credit? A short-term loan gives you a fixed lump sum upfront that you repay on a set schedule. A business line of credit is revolving - you draw what you need, repay it, and can draw again up to your limit. Short-term loans are best when you know the exact amount you need; a line of credit is better for ongoing or unpredictable cash needs. How fast will I get the money after approval? Timing depends on the funding partner and your business's profile. David will give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation once he reviews your application. Are the payments fixed or variable? Payment structure varies by funding partner and offer. Many short-term loans use a fixed payment amount for the life of the loan, which makes cash flow planning straightforward and reliable. David will confirm the structure of any specific offer before you sign. Can I pay off my short-term loan early? Early payoff terms vary by funding partner. Some offer early payoff options, sometimes with a discount on the remaining balance. David will walk you through the exact terms of your specific offer before you sign anything - so you know your options upfront. ## One application. A clear path forward.
