Inventory loans, equipment loans, expansion loans, cash flow loans, and business lines of credit are just a handful of options.

FAQ

What information do I need to apply for a business loan?

The specific lender, loan type, and amount will determine your application process. Some lenders have minimum FICO score and revenue requirements. Your credit score, collateral, tax returns, and business plan will likely be part of the conversation.

Click here to use our loan search engine and see what options are available to you in as little as 24 hours.

What’s the difference between secured and unsecured?

With a bird’s-eye view, there are two main types of business loans: secured and unsecured. Secured business loans require collateral, including your assets, furniture, or equipment, whereas unsecured loans are based solely on your credit history and integrity to repay the loan.

Will I be denied for a loan if my needs are urgent?

Helpwithmyloan has a 95% loan approval rating, and we are committed to helping you secure funding. However, it’s always best to anticipate your financial needs. If you’re already in trouble and facing a crisis, it will be much harder to get a loan, especially with competitive rates.

Do I have to designate a specific use for the capital?

Yes – most lenders will review your business plan, and you will need to be transparent about how you plan to invest the funds.

Do business loans require a down payment?

Not always. Secured loans require collateral, rather than a down payment. Some unsecured loans also don’t require down payments, but you’ll be charged higher interest rates. A small business line of credit might be a good option for flexible funding without a down payment or multiple loan applications.
