What are Short-Term Business Loans?

A short-term business loan is a fixed amount of working capital borrowed from a lender with a pre-determined interest rate. You pay it back with regular payments based on the term length. No collateral is needed for a term loan.

Short-term loans are the most popular way to fund a business. They provide a flexible financing option to handle growth opportunities, manage fluctuating cash flow or pay for unexpected expenses. We structure term loans with early payoff incentives to reduce your cost.

Running a small business can be challenging and time-consuming. When time is money, a short-term loan from Clarify can provide the working capital in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

How to Qualify for a Short-Term Business Loan

Being one of the fastest ways to get working capital, there are only three key things to keep in mind when applying:

1. Time in business

Your business should have been operational for at least 3-6 months. How long you've been in business is a risk assessment signal for lenders. The longer the duration, the lower the risk for lenders to provide you financing.

2. Average monthly revenue

Most lending companies require your business to generate at least $10K a month to qualify for short-term loans. Your current revenue numbers help lenders calculate the maximum loan amount your business qualifies for.

3. Credit rating

You can secure a term loan with both good or bad credit. Your credit score is one of the factors that determines your interest rate. The higher your credit score, the better APR you will receive. We recommend borrowers have a score of at least 550.
