FAQ
Questions about Short Term Business Loans in Boston
Real answers to the questions Boston business owners ask before applying.
A short-term loan is a lump-sum advance repaid in 3–24 months, usually with daily or weekly payments. It's designed for fast funding on time-sensitive needs — not long-term capital projects.
Most approvals come back same-day; funding typically hits your account in 24–48 hours with 3 months of bank statements.
Factor rates and APRs run higher than SBA or bank loans because of the speed and risk profile. They make sense when the ROI of the funded opportunity clearly exceeds the cost — we'll do that math with you.
Yes — many short-term lenders approve with FICO as low as 500–550 when monthly revenue and bank deposits are consistent. Credit alone rarely kills a short-term file.
