No matter if you want to start a business, grow an existing company, conduct research or undertake a creative project, having a clear vision of what you wish to achieve with the grant money,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is crucial<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Search for suitable grants.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once your goals are set, you can search for grants that fit your mission objectives.

You receive a single, lump-sum cash injection and then pay it back in regular instalments over a fixed period of up to 25 years. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Business line of credit<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a business loan that functions like a high-value credit card. Withdraw as much as you want when you want from a loan facility up to the limit of your borrowing. You only pay interest on the sum you withdraw, not the whole line \u2013 which can significantly reduce your borrowing costs. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Invoice financing<\/b><\/h3><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;\">. Borrow against the value of your unpaid invoices. The lender will usually provide up to 95% of the invoice value within a few days or even hours of the bill being raised.\u00a0 Your invoices act as security for the loan, no added collateral required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Equipment financing<\/b><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/equipment-financing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equipment loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> use the asset you\u2019re financing as security \u2013 so no added collateral is required. You use the equipment as you pay for it while the lender maintains a lien on the machinery. Once you pay the loan back, the lender releases the lien, and you own the equipment outright.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Merchant cash advance<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available for businesses that accept customer payments by credit and debit card. Borrow 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 sales act as security for the loan, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Revenue-based financing<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functions like a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/merchant-cash-advance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">merchant cash advance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but with higher borrowing limits. Based on the size and regularity of your total revenues, (not just your credit card sales), you may receive a lump sum and pay it back over a short-term schedule, typically by small deductions from their daily sales. This type of loan can usually be secured quickly as qualification rules are less intensive and credit scores are not so critical. No added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>SBA loans<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonprofit and community-based lenders can provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA Microloans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to borrowers that may struggle to secure standard business financing. Available up to $50,000, these loans can be ideal for entrepreneurs who are seeking a smaller sum to start or grow their business. SBA microloans also come with more relaxed qualifying rules and can usually be secured with FICO scores as low as 500, or even with no credit score at all. Be aware that these type of business loans often require a personal guarantee that makes you personally responsible for the debt.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\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-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get started with Swoop's business funding platform<\/h2>\t\t\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-e-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\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with business finance experts can make all the difference when applying for grant funding.
