What types of small business loans are available

Valiant works with over 85 bank and non-bank lenders. Since we don't exclusively represent a single lender, we're able to offer a wider range of loan products from our partners and find our customers a tailored solution and competitive rate. We currently offer:

  • Invoice finance – Leverage unpaid invoices by passing debt onto your lender.
  • Business line of credit – A line of credit is an amount of money your business can withdraw at any time, similar in some ways to an overdraft, but it is not attached to a bank account.
  • Equipment finance – Allows a business to purchase equipment or vehicles to increase output, produce better products, increase its bottom line, or propel it ahead of the curve.
  • Unsecured business loans – Loans—usually short-term—that do not require any collateral or security.
  • Secured term loans – Loans that require an asset on the part of the lender as a guarantee.
  • Lease agreement – An asset lease agreement that lets your business use equipment, vehicles, or machinery without buying it upfront.
  • Business car loan – A way to purchase a vehicle for your business while spreading the cost out over time.
  • Trade finance - A loan that helps businesses cover the upfront cost of goods, repaid over 2–9 months with either a flat fee or interest.

What if my sales fluctuate?

Since repayments are based on a percentage of sales, you'll pay more when sales are high and less during slower periods, providing cashflow flexibility.
