A business term loan provides a lump sum of capital upfront, which is repaid over a fixed schedule — typically through daily, weekly, or monthly payments. Term loans are well-suited for businesses that have a specific, defined use for funds: purchasing equipment, covering a large expense, or financing a planned expansion. The repayment amount and schedule are set at origination, giving you predictable costs for the life of the loan.
A business line of credit is approved up to a set credit limit, and you draw and repay funds as needed — paying interest only on the amount actually used. Unlike a term loan, a line of credit is revolving: once you repay what you've drawn, those funds become available again. Lines of credit are best suited for managing cash flow, covering short-term gaps, or handling unpredictable expenses.
