What Is a Short-Term Business Loan?
A short-term business loan is a business loan designed to get you the working capital you need quickly. Short-term business loans are exactly what the name suggests: business term loans that are repaid in a short amount of time, typically within 18 months. A lump sum of cash is issued to a business by a lender and repaid (with interest and fees) over an established “term.” This type of loan is best suited for immediate financial needs.
Is a Short-Term Loan Right for My Business?
Short-term business loans are best used to cover immediate expenses, or emergency shortages of cash flow. However, like most business loans, they can be used for any business expense. Common uses include:
Urgent Inventory Needs
Seasonal Support
Emergency Repairs
Building Business Credit
Working Capital
Opportunities and Obstacles

FAQ About Short-Term Business Loans
Is a short-term business loan better than a long-term business loan?
It depends on how much money you need, and what you need it for. Long-term business loans typically have a lower interest rate and longer repayment period than short-term loans. Therefore, while the rate may be lower, the total cost of financing will usually end up being more. That’s why it’s important to find a loan that is the right fit for your business’s specific needs.
Does The Business Backer offer short-term loans for startup businesses?
Our small business loan and purchase of receivables products require only a year in business, while our partner Headway Capital’s business line of credit only requires six months in business.
