Term Loans & Line of Credit business solutions to best meet your needs:

Fixed – also known as a “term loan”, where you pay the same amount daily for the duration of your fixed payback period.  Having a set amount will allow you to budget and plan since you know what you will commit to your loan repayment and it will not change.

Line of Credit –a business line of credit gives you ongoing access to the capital you need to make sure your business runs smoothly. You can withdraw funds in one lump sum, or use your line of credit as needed for inventory, special projects, marketing, renovations, etc. Every withdrawal you make from your line of credit has its own fixed repayment schedule. With daily, weekly and bi-weekly options, choose a plan that works best for you.
