Business Line of Credit
A business line of credit is a flexible financing solution that gives you ongoing access to capital up to an approved limit. Instead of receiving all funds at once, you draw only what you need—when you need it—making it ideal for both planned expenses and unexpected costs. Approval is typically fast and requires limited documentation.
How a Line of Credit Works

Eligible businesses are approved for a revolving credit line, allowing repeated access to funds as balances are paid down.

$20,000+ in monthly business revenue
