Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-bank business loan?
A non-bank business loan is financing provided by an alternative lender rather than a traditional bank, usually with faster approval, less paperwork, and underwriting based on cash flow rather than only credit score or collateral.
How fast can a small business get approved for financing?
Many online and alternative lenders approve small business financing within 24 to 48 hours, with funding sometimes arriving the same day, compared to weeks for a traditional bank loan.
What is the difference between a business term loan and a line of credit?
A term loan provides a lump sum repaid on a fixed schedule, while a business line of credit gives revolving access to funds that a business can draw from and repay as needed, only paying interest on what is used.
Do non-bank lenders require good credit?
Requirements vary by lender, but many alternative lenders accept lower credit scores than banks because they weigh business cash flow and revenue more heavily than personal credit history.
