FAQs for online business loans

Credibly helps small and medium-sized businesses secure funding, aiming to make business loans affordable, simple, and transparent.
Credibly blends data science with personal service, working directly with business owners to find the right loan or financing option for their specific needs.
You can pre-qualify online in about ten minutes, and Credibly will respond with funding options. Depending on the application, some businesses may be eligible to review and complete their contract through an online checkout. Funds can arrive in as little as 24 hours.
Credibly directly lends working capital loans and merchant cash advances, and through partners offers SBA loans, business lines of credit, equipment financing, and long-term loans. Their financing experts help review options, determine the best fit, and complete applications.
Requirements vary by product but generally include at least six months in business, a credit score above 500, and average monthly revenue of $15,000+ (roughly $180,000+ annually).
Options like merchant cash advances and invoice factoring rely more on sales history than credit scores. Equipment financing also reduces credit dependence since the equipment itself serves as collateral, and many of these products can help build business credit over time.
Startups typically don’t qualify for traditional bank loans or most of Credibly’s offerings. Alternatives for new businesses include business credit cards, personal loans, or personal savings.
Flexible options — like working capital loans, expansion loans, merchant cash advances, lines of credit, or SBA loans — can be used for general business needs. Less flexible options, like equipment financing or real estate loans, are restricted to their specific purpose.
First, weigh whether the funding will help your business grow or survive a crisis, since fees and interest add up without good reason. Key questions to ask: how much capital is needed, what’s the interest rate/APR, what fees or prepayment penalties apply, and how are payments structured.
A working capital loan is one type of small business loan; the broader category also includes things like lines of credit and equipment financing.
Generally you’ll need over 6 months in business, a minimum credit score of 500, and at least $15,000 in average monthly deposits over the past three months — though requirements vary by lender.
Rates depend on the business’s financial health and profile. Credibly offers factor rates as low as 1.11.
Small business loans generally refer to financing where a lump sum is provided at a cost, such as working capital loans or equipment financing.
It’s often easier and faster than a traditional bank loan — providers like Credibly tend to have more flexible criteria, simpler applications, and can fund approved loans in as little as one business day.
The process varies by lender. At Credibly, you fill out an online application, submit documents like bank statements and a government ID, then work with a financing expert to review your offer once approved.
Usually not — most providers require at least six months in business plus minimum revenue thresholds that startups typically don’t meet.
