What is small business financing?

When a small business gets financing like a business loan, merchant cash advance, or line of credit that is only used for business purposes, this is called “business financing.” There are many reasons why a business might want to do something other than buy new inventory, equipment, or even pay off debt. Financing a business can also be used for anything that has to do with the business, like marketing, adding new locations, and general working capital.

Most businesses, no matter how big or small, depend on small business financing for a lot of their needs. We know how small businesses work, which is why our team created business financing products that make it easy and quick to meet their needs. So that small businesses can get the money they need as soon as possible, our loan products have a quick and easy application process, terms that are easy to understand, and flexible payment options. If your business has a lot of receivables, a lot of credit card sales, or is only open during certain times of the year, our merchant cash advance product might be a good fit for you. A line of credit could be the best way to get money for your business if you want it to have a safety net in the form of easy-to-get financing.

The first step is to fill out a short application so that we can learn more about your small business. If we’re a good fit for each other and your business is fully approved, our team will work quickly to get the money to you.

SBA loans

When it comes to small business financing, Vulcan Kapital is on your side. We’ve taken the long, complicated process of applying for an SBA loan and made it more manageable through our streamlined application process and dedicated team. Our experienced professionals are with you every step of the way as you complete our online application and build your financial story. And if an SBA loan isn’t the best option for you, we’ll help you find the right loan for your business from our network of trusted banks and non-bank lenders.

You might have heard SBA loans are the gold standard for small business owners who want to expand. It’s true. Funds from these loans can be used in a multitude of ways to help a small business. And as a result of the CARES Act, the SBA will pay 6 months of principal, interest, and any associated fees on any eligible SBA 7(a) loan disbursed prior to September 27, 2020.

What exactly is an SBA loan? We’ll go over the costs, qualifications, use of proceeds and more to help you determine if this type of loan is the best option to fund your small business.

What is an SBA loan?

An SBA loan is a government-guaranteed small business loan that has a long-term and a low-interest rate. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is the government agency that partially guarantees SBA loans and was founded in 1953 to support small business owners across the United States.

The most common misunderstanding about these loans is that the agency lends money directly to small businesses. However, the agency typically does not make direct loans. The SBA provides a guarantee on the loan, promising to reimburse the bank for a certain percentage of your loan if you default on that loan. This guarantee lowers the risks to banks and other lenders, encouraging them to offer these loans to more American small businesses. Many banks and other financial institutions offer SBA loans, but their process, requirements, and fees can vary.

What can you use your SBA loan for?

SBA 7(a) loans from $30,000 – $350,000 from banks in the Vulcan Kapital network can be used for debt refinancing and working capital. Working capital includes operational expenses, marketing, hiring, etc. SBA loans can be used to fund new equipment purchases as well.

SBA 7(a) loans can also be used for refinancing existing business debt not secured by real estate (such as cash advances, business loans, and equipment leases).

SBA Commercial Real Estate loans from $500,000 – $5 million from banks in the Vulcan Kapital network can be used for the purchase or refinance of commercial real estate that is 51% owner-occupied.

Commercial Loan

Purchase or refinance Commercial Real Estate with an SBA loan

With fully-amortizing 25-year terms and variable interest rates, SBA 7(a) loans offered from banks in the Vulcan Kapital Lending network are a great option for small businesses looking to refinance an existing commercial real estate mortgage or buy an office building or other owner-occupied commercial space.

  1. Accept Your Letter of Intent

You will receive a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) from a bank in the Vulcan Kapital Lending network outlining details of the SBA commercial real estate loan so you can negotiate terms with the property seller or your existing lender.

During the SBA commercial real estate application process, the property you’re interested in will be valued. Your dedicated Relationship Manager helps facilitate this step.

What it costs

The SBA Commercial Real Estate Loans offered by the preferred SBA lending banks in the Vulcan Kapital Lending network feature low rates, long terms, and no balloon payments.

Bank Term Loan

When is a bank term loan the right financing for your business?

A Bank Term loan from lenders in the Vulcan Kapital network is a short-term, fixed-rate loan with stable monthly payments. These loans are a great fit when you need funds quickly and want to lock in your interest rate. The same streamlined process is used for term loans through banks in the Vulcan Kapital network.

Proceeds from a Bank term loan can be used in a variety of ways to meet your business goals. Funds can be used for working capital, debt refinance, new equipment purchase, and more. Additionally, paying off a Bank Term loan responsibly helps to build business credit.

One application does it

There’s only one easy application to complete, whether you are applying for an SBA loan or decide to proceed with a Bank Term loan option. And our team of professionals are available online or over the phone to help you understand and navigate your options.

Bank Term loans are term loans meant to be repaid in a shorter amount of time than the 10-year term of a typical SBA loan. This type of loan can be a great way to get the funds you need to successfully build or maintain your business until you are eligible for an SBA loan.

Customers who qualify for a term loan may have the option to reduce their term loan interest rate by 2% if they choose a prepayment penalty of 5% of the total outstanding balance.

Bank Term loans are offered through the banks in the Vulcan Kapital network for working capital, debt refinance, new equipment purchase, and more.

Custom Financing

When a traditional loan isn’t a fit

Most small business needs can be met with traditional financing options like an SBA or Bank Term loan. Sometimes, though, a business needs more flexibility. Not only will we support you through the application process, but we can help you access other financing options through our marketplace with one of our trusted partners. We work with lenders and other financing partners in our network to offer other solutions to shore up cash flow and help you meet your business needs.
