href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as larger organizations, although this type of financing may require you to provide collateral or at least a personal guarantee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a rundown of the most popular types of self-employed small business loan:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Bank loans<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lower borrowing costs<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most bank loans come as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/short-term-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">term loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you borrow a lump sum and then pay it back in regular instalments. Interest charges and fees on bank loans tend to be lower than finance from other lenders, but to get this type of loan you will typically need a good FICO credit score (680+), steady revenues and at least two years in business. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Online lender loans<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Easier approval, fast application processing<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have the necessary time in business or sufficient credit score or revenues to obtain a bank loan, you may do better to apply for a term loan or other type of self-employed small business loan from online or alternative lenders. These providers tend to move faster, have more relaxed qualifying rules and offer a wider range of loan options for self-employed business owners than traditional banks. You may even be able to get the funds you need with a FICO score in the 500s, only a few months in business and erratic revenues. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>SBA loans<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lowest rates and long repayment terms<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are provided by lenders who are part of the federal government\u2019s Small Business Administration (SBA) lender network. SBA loans usually have lower interest rates and fees than other forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/commercial-finance\/\">commercial lending<\/a> and you can pay the loan back over as long as 25 years. However, to obtain an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-7a-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA 7a<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-patriot-express-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA express loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you will usually need a FICO score of 680+, at least two years in business and annual revenues of more than $180,000. If you can\u2019t meet these requirements, you could apply for up to $50,00 with an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-microloans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA microloan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Self-employed borrowers may be able to get this type of funding with FICO scores as low as 500, or even with no credit score at all. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Business line of credit<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maximum flexibility\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-line-of-credit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business line of credit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> functions like a high-value credit card but comes with lower interest rates and fees. Self-employed borrowers can withdraw as much as they want when they want from a loan facility up to the limit of their borrowing. You only pay interest on the amount you withdraw, not the whole credit line. This kind of financing is ideal for independent business owners that want maximum financial flexibility and lower borrowing costs. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Merchant cash advance<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As your sales grow, your credit limit increases<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available for self-employed businesses that accept customer payments by credit and debit card. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/merchant-cash-advance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cash advance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is borrowed against the value of your card sales. As your card sales increase, your borrowing limit goes up. Pay the loan back with a fixed percentage of your card sales on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Your card sales act as security, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Invoice financing<\/b><\/h3><p><b>Key benefit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Get paid in hours or a few days instead of waiting weeks<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/accounts-receivable-financing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">account receivables financing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, invoice financing allows self-employed businesses to borrow against the value of their unpaid invoices. The lender may provide up to 95% of the invoice value within a few days or even hours of the bill being raised. Your invoices act as security, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a22a89 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a22a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to get a loan when you're self-employed<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d34846b answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d34846b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a business loan when you\u2019re self-employed is seldom easy, but you can improve your chances of loan approval by following these steps:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Proof of steady revenues:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lenders like to see your income is steady and profitable.

Credit card cash advances also usually have a higher interest rate than standard card purchases.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Home equity financing<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your home is worth more than you owe on it, or you own the property outright, you could get a home equity loan. This type of financing will give you a cash lump sum and use your home as collateral for the loan. <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loan-calculator\/heloc-payoff-calculator\/\">Repayment terms on home equity loans<\/a> can be as long as 10 years or more. However, your home is at risk if you fail to make your payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Loans from family or friends<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many self-employed business owners borrow money from family and friends, especially when they are trying to get a new venture off the ground. However, using funds from loved ones can often be a source of contention if the ground rules are not clear from the beginning. If you have access to this type of financing opportunity, make sure your funders know if they are providing a loan, a gift or an investment from the start. If there are plans to pay the money back, put this down in writing with a clear repayment schedule \u2013 including a plan of action if things do not turn out as expected and you cannot pay the funds back on time, or at all. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4436f4a question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4436f4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get started with Swoop<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b15f28 answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8b15f28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter if you\u2019re seeking your first self-employed loan or you\u2019re a seasoned borrower, working with business finance experts can make all the difference when applying for your funding.
