Short-term
A short term business loan releases a lump sum you draw once and repay on a fixed schedule, usually daily or weekly, over 12 months or less. Unlike revolving credit, the balance amortizes immediately, making these tools ideal when a Cary software consultancy needs to bridge the gap between a signed contract and the first milestone payment, or when a Morrisville food distributor must stock coolers ahead of Research Triangle Park's spring conference season. We analyze your cash conversion cycle, match it to lender underwriting models, and present term sheets that align repayment with revenue timing rather than forcing a calendar mismatch.
Short-term
Lenders weigh monthly revenue, time in business, and the specific use of funds. Most require six months of operating history and consistent bank deposits. A Holly Springs landscaping company preparing for the April-through-October rush will show stronger seasonality than a year-round HVAC contractor, so we route applications to lenders who underwrite against forward bookings or purchase orders rather than trailing twelve-month averages. Personal credit matters less than business cash flow, though scores below 600 narrow the field and raise costs.
Inventory pre-buys dominate. A Fuquay-Varina retail boutique might secure stock 90 days before the holiday quarter, repaying the advance as December sales clear. Payroll bridging ranks second when project-based firms in Apex or Garner wait 60 days for client remittance but cannot delay biweekly runs. Equipment down-payment gaps and marketing-campaign funding round out the list. Because business lines of credit require longer underwriting and lower utilization, short term loans close faster when timing is tight.
How it works
Call (919) 336-9474 or visit our office at 500 Gregson Dr, Cary, NC 27511 with three months of business bank statements, a driver's license, and a one-paragraph explanation of the need. We pull offers from multiple platforms within 24 hours, translate fee language into effective cost-of-capital, and walk you through repayment simulations. If a longer amortization better suits your cycle, we pivot to SBA 7(a) loans or equipment financing without restarting the clock. Our broker model means no loyalty to a single lender's product mix.
Bridge loans
A New Hill general contractor won a townhome-renovation bid requiring specialty cabinetry with a six-week manufacturing lead. The client's deposit covered labor but not materials. We arranged a nine-month short term facility, timed repayment to the client's three progress-payment milestones, and avoided the contractor tapping personal savings or delaying the start date.
