Business Line of Credit
Ongoing projects, meet always-ready credit.
Business Line of Credit 101
For unpredictable projects, a business line of credit means you borrow once, then take what you need when you need it. It’s a great fit for big to-do’s like renovations or rebranding. A line of credit can even function as a low-risk way to cover bills, payroll, and other operating costs during cash flow gaps.
More flexibility for every what-if.
Apply for anywhere from $5K to $40K and tackle what’s next with newfound confidence. With a business line of credit, you’ll only pay interest on what you use, not the full amount you’re approved to borrow. So you’re never on the hook for the money you didn’t really need in the first place, but you (and your bottom line) are always ready for what the day, week, or month brings.

A Business Line of Credit (often abbreviated to BLOC) is a loan that functions similarly to a credit card (sans plastic.) You apply for a certain amount of funds and once you’re approved for a total amount to borrow, you’ll make advances (aka withdrawals) up to that amount whenever you want — zero fees or additional approval required. It helps to think about a BLOC like a lifeline that you tug on when you need a little bit of extra support. Just tug on the line and make withdrawals that work for you. This means you are only borrowing the money you need to complete a project, not one giant lump sum like a traditional loan.
The Business Line of Credit is an unsecured loan.
The two biggest differences between a Business Essential Loan and a Business Line of Credit are the types of interest rates for each loan and how one receives their funds. Business Essential Loans are fixed-rate loans and they are given in one large lump sum. A Business Line of Credit is a variable rate loan and business members receive access to a line of credit. You can borrow as much as you need without having to commit to a large lump sum.
This loan is great for projects that don't have a fixed price. If you are remodeling a lobby, paving a parking lot, or even covering a gap in income, etc. this is a great option for you. It allows you the flexibility to borrow what you need instead of requiring you to borrow a larger sum.
Yes! You can make additional payments on all Fortera Loans.
You can get anywhere between $5,000 - $40,000 in funding.
