Although a short term business loan can be good for many business needs, there are some expenses that are not ideal for this type of financing.

What Will Short Term Financing Cost You?


The cost of a short term business loan often depends on a factor rate and the length of time you have the funding. Let’s say you take a merchant cash advance of $100,000 for 12 months at a factor rate of 1.22. That would make the cost of borrowing in this scenario $22,000, so your total pay back amount on 100K would be $122,000. Your payments would vary depending on whether you have daily or weekly payments.

How Do Short Term Business Loans Work?


Most of our short term business loans are an immediate funding solution where a business owner receives a set amount of money for a specified period of time at a set cost. The payback amount, which includes the amount borrowed and the factor fee, as well as any additional fees, will be paid back through daily or weekly debits from the business bank account. The duration of the loan can be between six months and thirty six months depending on the information provided in the application process.

Are Short Term Business Loans Right For You?


Our short term business loans can be a good fit if you require working capital for a relatively short period of time and you want some of the best rates and terms that we offer. This type of financing does however require a fair credit score so if you know your credit score is below 650 please see our business cash advance loans. Our short term program is a great solution if you do not meet the requirements for traditional financing but there are some important evaluations to make before you acquire this type of funding.

Can your business manage the payments of short term financing because the payments are larger when compared to a loan for the same amount over a longer period of time. You also have to consider what the total cost is for the financing and whether the loan will be a benefit or a burden for your business. These are just some of the questions you have to consider before applying.
