Access Funds
With a Line of Credit
Business lines of credit often have lower interest rates than a business credit card. You may choose between secured or unsecured lines to match with the right interest rate and terms.

Unsecured Lines of Credit
When you are well positioned for financing, an unsecured line of credit can close quickly with less paperwork than other types of financing. Because a revolving line of credit renews the available balance as you pay, you’ll be able to manage your own costs with less scrutiny than other lending types. A solid credit score is the primary requirement for an unsecured business line of credit.
Secured Lines of Credit
For businesses seeking a higher available credit limit, a lower interest rate, or both, a secured line of credit can be a great option. The lender will place a lien on fixed assets that will serve to secure the loan. Many small and medium sized businesses utilize lines of credit to increase access to fast financing for short term expenses. By utilizing assets, businesses are able to unlock available funds without having to take out a long term loan with fixed monthly payments.


Positioning Your Business to Receive Great Rates
When lenders evaluate a business to determine their risk and line of credit limits they look at several factors: annual cash flow, your quick ratio (current debts as compared to current liquid assets), as well as how much debt your business is carrying. To prepare for the best rates, businesses can focus on accelerating cash flow through factoring or customer repayment incentives, pay down or pay off debt or refinance to reduce monthly payments.
