Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Vlad Sherbatov

Best for

Businesses wanting term, revolving and revenue-based options under one roof from 6 months trading

Not for

Owners chasing the lowest APR floor in the market

What we like

  • Three product structures under one application
  • Accepts $8,333 monthly revenue on term and advance, below the $10,000 norm
  • Only 6 months trading required on two of the three products

Where it could improve

  • 16% APR floor on the term loan sits above the category's 7 to 10% leaders
  • The line of credit requires 12 months trading and a 600 credit score
  • Advance is priced as a factor rate, quoted per deal

Journey's two-tier gate

The credit line is the harder door

The line of credit asks for twice the operating history and fifty more points of score than the term loan or advance. Same funder, different doors. Which product you name on the application can change the answer you get.

Revenue is annual here

Where most funders in this category quote a monthly figure, Journey states its revenue requirement per year, one number for each tier, and the credit line sits at the higher of the two.
