What is a Short-Term Business Loan?

Short term business loans deliver fast capital with minimal paperwork. While factor rates are higher than long-term options, they're designed for businesses that need capital quickly and can repay within 18 months. Common uses include urgent inventory purchases, payroll gaps, equipment repairs, and time-sensitive opportunities. Approval is heavily based on recent bank statements, not just credit.

The speed and accessibility of short-term loans make them one of the most popular financing tools for businesses that need to move fast. With daily or weekly repayment structures, you're steadily paying down the balance throughout the term rather than waiting for a monthly due date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short-term business loans typically range from $5,000 to $500,000 depending on monthly revenue, time in business, and credit profile. Most lenders size short-term loans at 50-150% of your average monthly gross revenue. Established businesses with strong cash flow may qualify for higher amounts. We compare options across our full lending network to find the maximum available for your situation.
Short-term business loans are among the fastest funding options available. Most approvals come within 24-48 hours, and funding typically transfers in 1-3 business days. Some lenders offer same-day funding for qualifying businesses with straightforward profiles and consistent revenue. This speed is one of the primary advantages of short-term products compared to SBA or conventional bank financing.
Repayment terms typically range from 3 to 18 months. Payments are usually structured as daily or weekly ACH withdrawals from your business bank account based on a fixed amount, making cash flow predictable. Factor rates (not traditional APR) typically range from 1.15 to 1.49 depending on credit and business profile. We model the full cost and cash flow impact before recommending any product.
Short-term loans make sense when you need capital quickly, have a specific near-term revenue opportunity to fund, or need to bridge a temporary cash flow gap. Because they carry higher effective costs than long-term financing, we only recommend them when the business use clearly justifies it — such as a contractor funding a project with a defined payoff date. We always evaluate lower-cost alternatives first.
