Business Term Loans

A simple straightforward Collateral-free loan.

A business term loan is the most common type of financing that allows businesses to obtain financing without the need of any collateral. They can be used for pretty much any business need from working capital to purchasing of new equipment.

Business term loans provide a reliable way to finance your business needs with structured, predictable repayments over a fixed period. These loans can help you secure large sums upfront for investments in equipment, expansion, or working capital, with terms that align to suit your business’s financial health and goals.

Interest Rates

Depending on your credit quality, your interest rate might differ. For most banks, interest rates fall between 5.5% to 11% p.a, while alternative lenders start at 1-3% per month. Do note that loans typically come with a processing fee of about 1-5%.
