Business Term Loan Lenders
There are many alternative business finance companies but not all offer unsecured term loans. We put together a list of lenders that offer a business loan product directly with merchants or through ISO partners and other channels.
​
Rates, maximum funding amount, and terms vary.
Some funding companies below have recently introduced a loan product and others have been doing so for quite some time, but they may also offer lines of credit, merchant cash advances, equipment financing, or other business financing products.
​
There will be more to add to this list in the future as funders start to diversify their product offering in order to stay competitive, keep the merchant in the product life cycle, or adjust in the quickly changing market of alternative business financing and fintech overall.
Several companies have started following the term loan product that is structured legally as a simple interest loan but seems very similar to a factoring product like an MCA.
The key is in the language and terms in the contract which should be thoroughly explained by ISOs and brokers to the merchant.
​
Some Pros of obtaining a Business Term Loan:
-
One of the main advantages of a term loan is its payment structure. Unlike other types of financing, term loans have a set payment schedule. This means that you can track and know exactly how much money you owe each month.
-
A business term loan is flexible and can be used for a wide variety of business purposes. Usually, most loan providers will allow you to use their loan for a variety of purposes.
-
Online lenders can provide fast and flexible term loan solutions to businesses. Although banks and credit unions can also offer term loan solutions, they typically require more time to fund.
-
Term loans are typically the best way to finance large business investments. They can provide you with access to large amounts of capital over time, and they're also great for building credit.
