Business Term Loan

Do you need money for equipment purchases or asset acquisition? The Business Term Loan may be your answer.

Fixed- or variable-rate loans available

A term loan gives your business permanent working capital. This enables you to purchase equipment, explore new markets, or invest in new products. A term loan can also be used for making strategic acquisitions, whether it’s a stock purchase or an asset purchase, this loan can help support the growth of your company.

Rather than risking a higher variable rate, a term loan lets you amortize the debt over the lifespan of the asset. For example, if you use the loan for purchasing a company vehicle, your loan could be amortized over five years, allowing the debt to be repaid in full by the time the vehicle is fully depreciated. 

Term loans can be used in a number of varying ways, enabling your company to focus on capital expenditure needs and strategic growth in new markets or new product lines. Offering competitive rates, our business lending experts can help you determine the best loan for your business.

Line of Credit

Secure a line of credit for when you need it most! Our Business Lines of Credit can help you acquire the working capital your business needs.

  • Secured options available
  • Variable-rate options available

Much like a credit card, a business line of credit can come in handy for purchases and growth needs. It’s there when you need it, just like us.

It’s a source of capital for any and all working capital needs that your company may come across — and the options are vast. It can be used for growth. It can be used to fund gaps between the expenses incurred for creating a service or product and the income collected for it. Lines of credit help support inventory purchases, the bloodline for manufacturing companies. When adding personnel to your team, your credit line is there.

Our business lending experts can provide guidance in determining whether a working capital line of credit is a good fit for your growing company, or if it is best served as a rainy day fund. You still need to make payroll and cover the expenses until you can make the money back from another client, and a line of credit offers you this peace of mind.
