What is a bank term loan?

A bank term loan is a traditional business loan with a fixed amount, interest rate, and repayment schedule. You receive a lump sum upfront and repay it with regular monthly payments over 1-10 years.

What credit score do I need?

Most banks require a credit score of 680+ for term loans. Some may require 700+ for larger amounts or better rates. We work with multiple lenders to find options for various credit profiles.

How long does approval take?

Bank term loans typically take 2-6 weeks from application to funding. This includes underwriting, document review, and approval processes.

Can I prepay without penalty?

Many bank term loans allow prepayment, though some may have early payoff penalties. We'll negotiate terms that work best for your business needs.
