Credit checks are standard with most commercial financing, but depending on the type of loan you choose, you may not need to provide collateral:<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Term loans<\/b><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/term-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Term loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the most common type of commercial loan. You receive a single, lump-sum cash injection and then pay it back in regular installments over a fixed period of up to 25 years. Collateral may be required.

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 sums you withdraw, not the whole credit line. This 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\/invoice-finance\/\"><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 no added collateral is required. You use the equipment as you pay for it and 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><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/merchant-cash-advance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merchant cash advances<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are designed for businesses that accept customer payments by credit and debit card. You 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><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/revenue-based-financing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revenue-based financing functions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like a merchant cash advance but with higher borrowing limits. Based on the size and regularity of their total revenues, (not just their credit card sales), businesses 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 microloans\u00a0<\/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 business owners who may struggle to secure standard business financing. Available up to $50,000, 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.
