Frequently asked questions about business term financing

What is the difference between a working capital loan and a long-term loan?

While both can be considered term loans for small businesses, a working capital loan is typically short-term, with repayment terms ranging from 6 to 24 months, and is meant for immediate needs like covering operating costs.

In contrast, a long-term loan provides larger amounts of capital with terms extending up to 120 months, making it suitable for major growth initiatives like expansion, equipment purchases, or real estate.

Long-term loans are ideal for businesses looking to make substantial, sustained investments in their growth.

Can I apply for both a working capital loan and a long-term loan?

Yes, your business may qualify for both types of loans, especially if you need financing for both short-term operations and long-term growth projects.

Working capital loans are excellent for covering immediate needs, while long-term loans can support significant investments.

Discussing your goals with a Credibly financing expert can help you determine the best solution for your business needs.

Can a working capital loan help with seasonal cash flow?

Absolutely. A working capital loan is ideal for businesses with seasonal revenue fluctuations, as it provides short-term financing to cover operational costs during slow periods.

You can use these funds to keep up with expenses, stock inventory in preparation for peak seasons, or cover payroll when cash flow is limited.
