Short-term
Short term business loans provide lump-sum capital you repay over 3 to 18 months through fixed daily, weekly, or monthly payments. They carry higher effective costs than SBA 7(a) loans but fund faster and require less documentation. You use the cash for immediate needs like inventory restocking, bridge payroll, or covering a lease deposit, then retire the debt quickly.
Typical amounts range from $5,000 to $500,000. Approval hinges on revenue history and bank-account activity, not pristine credit or two years of tax returns. Most funders want to see at least six months in business and $10,000 monthly revenue, though some programs accept newer companies.
Short-term
Businesses along the Harbison Boulevard retail corridor often tap short term finance to stock shelves before Black Friday or restock after a vendor delay. A catering company in Seven Oaks might bridge payroll between a spring wedding season and summer corporate events. A contractor in Lexington may need to buy materials before a commercial client pays the first draw.
Short term business lending works when the revenue to repay the loan already exists on your calendar. If you're financing growth with no clear repayment source, a business line of credit or equipment financing usually makes more sense.
Term loans
We gather three months of business bank statements, a photo ID, and a one-page application. We submit your file to term lenders in our network and return offers within 48 hours. You compare payment schedules, total repayment amounts, and any origination points, then pick the structure that fits your cash flow.
Because we're a broker, not a direct lender, you see multiple options instead of one take-it-or-leave-it quote. We don't charge application fees; our commission comes from the funder at closing.

A family-owned HVAC company in Cayce landed a retrofit contract for three medical offices near Palmetto Health Baptist. The supplier required payment up front, but the general contractor's pay schedule lagged 60 days. The owner used a 12-month short term business loan to purchase the units and compressors, then repaid the loan as progress payments arrived. The speed mattered because the installation window coincided with the hospital's low-occupancy summer months.
