Business term loans

Borrow $20K to $2M and repay it over a set term on a clear schedule. Built for expansion, equipment, renovations and refinancing more expensive debt.

How it works

Simple to understand, easy to budget.

A term loan gives you the full amount up front. You repay it in regular instalments of principal and interest over an agreed term, so you know exactly what each payment will be and when the loan will be paid off.

Rates can be fixed, so payments never change, or variable, moving with the lender’s prime rate. The term is usually matched to what you’re financing: shorter for working capital, longer for equipment or property.

What lenders review

  • Time in business and the consistency of your results
  • Revenue and cash flow, usually from recent business bank statements and financial statements
  • Personal and business credit history
  • What the funds are for and how they help the business earn or save money
  • Existing debt, so the new payment fits comfortably

Larger loans are usually secured by business assets such as equipment or property, and many lenders ask owners for a personal guarantee. We explain every condition before you sign.

Common uses

Is it right for you?

When a term loan fits, and when it doesn’t.

You’re making a one-time investment.

Term loans work best when you know the amount you need, the project has a clear payoff and your cash flow can carry a steady monthly payment.

  • A specific project or purchase
  • Predictable monthly cash flow
  • You want certainty on payments

Your needs come and go.

If you need money on and off through the year, a line of credit is usually cheaper and more flexible. If customers are slow to pay, invoice factoring may solve the real problem.

  • Slow-paying customers: invoice factoring
  • Small business buying equipment: a CSBFP loan

FAQ

Term loans: common questions.

How much can I borrow with a term loan?

We arrange term loans from $20K to $2M. What you’re offered depends on your revenue, time in business, credit profile and what the funds are for.

How long are the terms?

Lenders set terms based on the purpose. Working capital is usually repaid over a shorter period, while equipment and property can support longer terms. We’ll show you options side by side.

Should I choose a fixed or variable rate?

A fixed rate keeps your payment the same for the term. A variable rate moves with the lender’s prime rate, so payments can go up or down. We’ll walk through both with your cash flow in mind.

Do I need collateral?

It depends on the lender and the amount. Larger term loans are usually secured by business assets, and a personal guarantee from the owners is common.

Will applying hurt my credit?

Our initial review can typically be done with a soft credit check that does not affect your score. A lender may run a full check before final approval, and we’ll tell you before that happens.

Can I use a term loan alongside a tariff relief grant?

Yes. Many clients use a loan to move now and a grant to lower the cost of recovery later. We make sure the same costs are never funded twice.
