Business line of credit

A line of credit is a predetermined borrowing amount that you can use, repay, and use again (up to a set limit), while a term loan is a lump sum payment for one-time use, with a fixed repayment schedule.

A new business can get a line of credit, but it may be more challenging than for more seasoned companies. There are some things you can do to increase your chances—for example, if you own property, you can use it as security. Or, you can start by getting a business credit card and working on improving your financial profile until you're eligible for a line of credit.

The main difference is that you only pay interest on the money you use, making it a cost-effective option for businesses that can’t always predict when their next paycheck will come in.

A line of credit works similarly to a business credit card—you withdraw funds whenever necessary and only pay interest on what you use. However, credit cards are often unsecured, whereas with a line of credit, you have the option to go for a secured loan. As a result, interest is likely to be lower, and you may end up being able to borrow more money than with a credit card.
