Funding

Business Funding Options for Small Businesses

Banks are not the only option. Many lenders look at your sales, not only a checklist. Here is what exists and how to stay safe.

The main options

Revenue-based financing looks at your monthly sales. Business lines of credit let you draw when you need it. SBA loans are slower but often cheaper. Equipment financing uses the equipment as security.

What lenders usually check

Time in business, monthly revenue, your credit and your bank statements. Fix your credit and set up the business properly first, and every option gets easier.

The safety rule

Never pay a fee before your funding closes. Anyone asking for money upfront to get you approved is a red flag.
