Entity, amount, use of funds. Soft inquiry to start.
A short-term business loan is a lump of capital repaid over a relatively short period. Payments may be daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the source. Cost is a function of speed, risk, and how tightly the repayment sits on the deposit stream.
This is not a working-capital line. Once funded, the balance is meant to go to zero. If you need to redraw, you are usually originating again.
A known payroll crunch, a seasonal inventory buy, a deposit on equipment that will produce quickly, a tax or insurance date. It does not fit a structural decline in sales, and it is a hard conversation if existing daily debits already consume most of the inflow.
Process
Entity, amount, use of funds. Soft inquiry to start.
Deposits, obligations, and whether this structure is even in scope.
Written terms before a signature, if a source can underwrite it.
A defined gap with a clear payoff path in months — inventory turn, a project bridge, a one-time vendor invoice.
Open-ended cash needs with no repayment story, or stacking on top of an advance that already consumes daily deposits.
About six months operating, ~$15k+ monthly deposits, personal credit near 500+. Frames, not guarantees.
Eligibility snapshot
Often around six months or more of operating history.
A common conversation starts near $15,000 in monthly deposits.
Personal credit around 500 or higher is a typical starting mention.
Ask for the payment frequency, the total cost if paid as agreed, what happens if a payment is missed, and whether prepayment reduces cost.
