“I already had an existing dry cleaning business in another city, and an opportunity came to expand. We tried to go through traditional banks and private lenders, but unfortunately, the experience was very difficult and the terms were even harder. I called Credibly, and within two days I was able to get the funds that I needed. We were able to improve our business and the process was very, very easy.”

Along with your checking and savings account, this includes things like accounts receivable, highly liquid marketable securities, inventory, and other shorter-term prepaid expenses.
Current liabilities include all of the debts and expenses firms expect to pay within one business cycle.

Credibly is a direct lender of working capital loans and merchant cash advances. Through our partners, we offer SBA loans, business lines of credit, equipment financing, long-term loans, and invoice factoring.
Our loan specialists can help you:
The eligibility requirements for Credibly’s small business loans and financing are loan-specific and based on a business owner’s specific credit history and creditworthiness.
Generally, you need to have:
Specific requirements will vary.
Some funding products like merchant cash advances and invoice factoring are less credit dependent because these financing products are based on sales instead of a credit report.
Similarly, equipment financing does not have as much emphasis on credit because the equipment can be used as collateral if you default on your loan. Many of our financing solutions can help you build business credit as well.
Startups almost never qualify for traditional bank loans, and that is true for Credibly’s business loans and financing as well.
However, there are a lot of options in small business loans for new businesses and startups, including:
“Flexible” means that you can use the capital to fund whatever your business needs.
Some business loans are flexible in their loan usage options, such as a working capital loan, business expansion loan, merchant cash advance, business line of credit, or SBA loan.
However, some loan and financing options are not flexible. Equipment financing can only be used to purchase or lease equipment. Any type of real estate loan will also be specific to funding a physical business location.
Before asking “how to apply for a small business loan?” you should first consider whether the capital will help your business grow or help your business survive a crisis.
If you don’t have a good reason for a business loan, the fees and interest can really add up.
However, if a business loan will help you buy new equipment, hire needed staff, or survive a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, then you should consider each of the following questions when reviewing the loan.
Get the funding you need without having to jump through the hoops of traditional bank loans.
