Absolutely. We know you’re more than your credit history, and our technology and team will work with you to help you find a solution that works for where you are right now. 

How much will this cost me?

Your monthly payments are based on the amount you actually use. Your interest rate (SOFR + 12.99% to 28.99%) is subject to credit approval by the lender. You'll pay a one-time 6% origination fee at closing and a flat $750 in closing costs. Standard wire transfer fees may apply. Further details are included in your terms and conditions. 4

Will I be charged a fee for every withdrawal?

No! While some lenders may charge fees for each withdrawal, there are never any additional fees after origination with this line of credit. Draw on the money when you need it, no extra fees involved.

Are there additional fees?

On the first anniversary of the line of credit funding, the partner lender will charge a 1% annual management fee based on the approved line of credit amount.

How much can I draw at origination?
plus sign icon minus sign icon

At origination, businesses may request the full amount of the line of credit balance to be disbursed into their business bank account, less required fees. If no funds are immediately required, business may request to only draw the balance required to cover fees.

What happens at maturity?

At the end of the 24-month draw period, if there is no balance owed the line of credit will simply close. If there is an active balance after the draw period has concluded, the payments will remain on the same amortization schedule until the draw is fully repaid. Alternatively, clients can request to have any balance owed re-amortized over the 36 months post maturity. The line of credit will not allow for any additional draws after the 24-month maturity date.

What are the different ways I can use funds from a line of credit?

The flexible structure of this business line of credit lets you use the funds in ways that make sense for your business. For example, you might hire a new staff member, acquire additional inventory, finance an upcoming project, or take advantage of a new business opportunity.

1. We conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, in processing your loan application, SmartBiz and the lenders with whom we work will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and happens after your application is in the funding process with SmartBiz  or is matched with a lender who is likely to fund your loan.

2. Required documentation includes 6 months of business bank statements, a current business debt schedule, an identification document, and voided business check.

3. All loan programs are subject to credit approval, income verification, and collateral evaluation. Paying the minimum interest-only monthly payments will not repay the principal that is outstanding on your line. The bank makes final approval decisions, originates, and services all loans. Additional restrictions, limitations, and exclusions may apply.

4. Standard wire transfer fees may apply. While some lenders may charge additional fees for drawing funds, for this line of credit there are no additional fees for withdrawals.
