Many businesses are struggling in light of the rapid spread of COVID-19, which has resulted in many states “locking down” residents and allowing only essential businesses to operate. While this is certainly an extreme, unprecedented situation, it’s a harsh way for many businesses to see firsthand how cash flow deficiencies can affect their day-to-day operations.
As your lending partner, we consider it our responsibility to provide you with the tools and funding options you need to keep your business running as smoothly as possible. In particular, our line of credit financing solution offers small businesses a flexible way to get capital to manage expenses right now — and be ready to grow when things start going back to normal.

Product Features
Because we know one size doesn’t fit all, we’ll work with you to tailor your line of credit to your specific needs. Credit limits range from $5,000 to $100,000; repayment terms may be 12, 18, or 24 months; payment frequency may be monthly or weekly; and in most states where this product is available, you’ll have a 2 percent draw fee. In addition, your simple daily interest rate will range from 0.11 to 0.22 percent.
What You Need to Know
Since you never know when you’ll need cash, you’ll be able to draw from your line of credit anytime — 24/7 — up to your available credit limit. The average decision process takes less than four hours, and the average time to get funds after being approved is one to two business days. All we need from you is your Federal Tax ID and Social Security number, business and home addresses and phone numbers, and last three months of business banking statements.
In case you’re interested, our average approved credit line is $24,000, and the average first draw size is $13,000. And, you may be pleased to know there are no penalties for prepayment.
