Frequently asked questions
How long are business term loans?
Terms commonly range from one to ten years depending on the lender, the amount, and the purpose. Longer terms lower the payment but increase total interest.
Fixed or variable rates?
Both exist. Fixed rates keep payments constant; variable rates can move with the market. Your advisor will explain what each option means for your payment.
Can I pay a term loan off early?
Many lenders allow it, but prepayment terms differ. Some discount remaining interest, others do not. Always confirm before signing.
What size loan can I get?
Amounts depend on revenue, credit, collateral, and the lender's criteria. No amount is guaranteed; an advisor can give you a realistic range after a short review.
