Term loans
Term loans are a classic way to fund short-term financing needs. They are a great option for small businesses looking to buy a new piece of equipment, pay for an advertising campaign or make capital investments.
Oftentimes, a term loan offers more favorable terms than other types of funding. They also help you build your business credit.
In addition, a term loan can help you manage your cash flow. It means you won’t have to dip into your savings account or rely on your credit card to cover the cost of an unexpected expense.
Moreover, the interest you pay on a term loan is tax deductible. If you can repay the loan over a long period of time, you may even be able to convert it to equity.
