How Short Term Business Loans Work
Sometimes, you need a relatively small amount of financing for your business and can’t afford to spends weeks or months applying for a loan at a bank. Short term loans quickly get you the money you need without the hassle of a lot of paperwork, and you pay it back within a few months or years. Typically, you can borrow up to $500,000.
In general, you must pay back a short-term loan within 3 months to 5 years. Since the payback period is shorter than a traditional commercial loan, the interest rate and monthly payments will be higher. It's typical for borrowers to pay between 20-80 % APR, but you may get lower rates if you have excellent personal credit. On the plus side, you can get your money faster and get out of debt more quickly than you could with a traditional loan. There’s also usually no down payment or collateral required.
Short term business loans have a fast and easy electronic application process. In most cases, you can apply online and find out right away if you pre-qualify for the loan. You can normally get funding in less than 2 weeks.

Cost of Short Term Business Loans
The cost of a short term business loan depends on your personal credit score and your business’ financial history. Rates between 20-80 % are typical, but you may get a lower or higher rate. A business owner with an excellent credit score (680+) and highly profitable business revenues could get a short term loan with an APR as low as 6 % or 7 %. On the other end, a borrower with poor credit or a low-revenue business may have to pay a significantly higher rate.
