Choosing a financing product begins with the business objective, requested amount, preferred payment structure, and available documentation. The fastest option is not always the best fit for cash flow.

Define the financing objective

• Working capital or seasonal expenses
• Inventory or equipment
• Business acquisition or partner buyout
• Expansion, hiring, or marketing
• Debt refinancing or consolidation
• Commercial property purchase or improvement
• Construction or project mobilization

Common financing categories

Term loans

Business term loans may suit defined investments that can be repaid over an agreed schedule.

Lines of credit

A business line of credit can support recurring or unpredictable short-term needs.

Revenue-based financing and cash advances

Revenue-based financing and merchant cash advances emphasize business revenue but can involve frequent payments and higher costs.

Equipment and commercial real estate financing

Equipment financing and commercial real estate loans are tied to specific assets and uses.

Documents to organize

• Business application and ownership information
• Recent bank statements
• Profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet
• Business and personal tax returns when required
• Debt schedule
• Purchase agreement, project budget, or equipment quote when applicable

Compare the complete terms

Review total repayment, interest or pricing method, fees, payment frequency, term, collateral, guarantees, liens, prepayment provisions, and default remedies. The payment should remain sustainable under realistic cash-flow assumptions.
