How the application works

Fast, simple, and transparent, your funds maybe deposited in as little as one day.

A term loan is a lump sum of capital that a business repays over a fixed period of time with scheduled payments. Businesses commonly use term loans for working capital, expansion, equipment purchases, inventory, or hiring.

An amortizing loan is a loan paid off over time through regular, scheduled payments. Each payment includes principal and interest.

Not exactly. A term loan simply means a loan that is repaid over a set period of time.

An amortizing loan refers to how the loan is repaid. With an amortizing loan, each month-to-month payment includes both principal and interest. This gradually reduces the loan balance until it is fully paid off.

Many small business term loans are amortizing loans, meaning borrowers repay the loan through predictable principal and interest payments over the set repayment period. However, some term loans may be structured differently, such as interest-only payments or a balloon payment at the end of the term.

Established businesses with steady revenue and a clear investment plan are best suited for term loans, particularly those needing capital for long-term investments like expanding operations, purchasing large equipment, or securing commercial property. Startups or businesses with irregular cash flow may find shorter-term or more flexible loan options better until they have a more predictable income stream.

Many business lenders look at:
– Time in business
– Monthly or annual revenue
– Bank statements or financial history
– Business owner credit profile

Some alternative financing providers like Chedr by VOX Funding prioritize cash flow and revenue trends rather than balance sheet or collateral requirements.

Variable interest rates exist. The exact rate depends on your credit profile, loan amount, and term length.

Term loans offered by traditional banks may require collateral. However, those available through VOX* are unsecured and do not require physical collateral. Even without physical collateral, some lenders may require a UCC filing or business lien, especially for larger amounts.
