Lines of credit

How does a business line of credit work?

A business line of credit is a revolving facility that lets a business draw funds up to an approved limit, repay what it uses, and draw again — with interest or fees generally charged only on the amount outstanding.

Lines can be secured by business assets or unsecured, and are offered by both banks and non-bank providers. Unsecured lines from non-bank providers are often faster to access but may carry higher cost; secured lines from banks typically offer lower rates but require more documentation, collateral and a longer approval process.

Availability, credit limits, draw periods and renewal requirements vary widely by provider and by the business’s financial profile, time in business and revenue. Some lines are structured to automatically renew with continued qualifying activity; others require periodic re-underwriting.

What to compare

What actually differs between providers.

Secured vs. unsecured
Secured lines are backed by collateral and often come with lower rates; unsecured lines skip collateral but may cost more and carry lower limits.
Draw and repay
Funds can be drawn as needed and repaid on a schedule set by the provider, then drawn again — unlike a term loan, which is a single lump sum.
Interest on what you use
Most lines charge interest or fees only on the outstanding balance, not the full approved limit.
Renewal
Some lines renew automatically with continued activity; others require the provider to re-review financials periodically.

FAQ

Common questions about lines of credit.

Is Truidian a bank or lender?

No. Truidian is a business solutions company, not a bank or direct lender. Truidian helps businesses identify and connect with third-party providers of business lines of credit. Approval and terms are set by the participating provider.

What’s the difference between a line of credit and a term loan?

A line of credit is revolving — draw, repay, and draw again up to a limit. A term loan provides a lump sum repaid on a fixed schedule for a specific, defined purpose. Businesses sometimes use both for different needs.

Do I need collateral for a line of credit?

It depends on the provider and program. Some lines are secured by business assets; others are unsecured, generally in exchange for a smaller limit or higher cost. Specific requirements are set by the participating provider.

How fast can a business access a line of credit?

Timing varies by provider — non-bank lines are sometimes available faster than bank lines, which typically require more documentation. Truidian does not guarantee approval or timing.
