Debt financing entails borrowing money and repaying it with interest. Your mind might have jumped to a traditional small business loan from your local bank—but it’s much more than that! Debt financing includes a variety of loans that businesses can choose from to secure funding.
Need a little extra cash now and then? A business line of credit gives you access to working capital when you need it. You can use your line of credit for most business needs, and you pay interest only on the funds you use. It’s an easy way to give your small business a boost.

Surprises happen – and that’s why short-term loans exist. It gives you the green you need to stay afloat during a temporary cash shortage or manage the overhead that comes with taking on a larger project. You can get funded in just 1-4 weeks so you can get back to business as usual.

Yes, you can afford that new truck, telephone system, or convection oven. Maybe even all three, although that’s a weird combo. Because business equipment varies so much between industries, you can choose from several different equipment financing options.
A commercial mortgage can help you buy, build, expand, remodel, or refinance. And it offers several sweet benefits: it’s a secure piece of collateral, typically has low interest rates, and helps you start earning equity. Plus, building stuff is just the grownup version of playing with Legos.

A business acquisition loan helps you get the funding you need to purchase an existing small business or franchise. Simply submit your business plan and financial projections, then we’ll walk you through the rest of the process – now there’s a deal you can shake on.
The classic entrepreneur grind or do-it-alone approach. Bootstrapping is building your business from the ground up with only your personal savings and (hopefully) the cash coming in from initial sales. It’s a grind—that’s for sure.
Bootstrapping is slow, risky, and limited. Limited cash restricts growth and can diminish the quality of the product or service. On the plus side, you have complete ownership of the business and little to no debt.
Venture capitalists (VCs) invest in startups and small businesses with high risk but the potential for exponential growth. Venture capital financing is a good way to go if you’re looking for massive scale at a lightning-fast pace. However, it’s not all roses and chocolates—working with venture capitalists can get a bit thorny.
First, while you might not be in “debt” to the VCs, they still expect to make a healthy return on their investment, which usually means they expect your business to IPO or be acquired. If that’s not your goal, don’t pursue venture capital. When you make a deal with VCs, you get financing and they get equity in your business. In some situations, VCs may even end up with more than 50% of the business, meaning they now control your company.
Crowdfunding is a relatively new phenomenon that allows entrepreneurs to harness the power of the internet to raise funds for their businesses. Small businesses sign up on a crowdfunding platform, explain their product, and set a financial goal. Interested customers “invest” cash donations to the cause, either in exchange for rewards, equity, or good-Samaritan points.Sounds easy, right? Just post your financing needs on a site, offer a few modest rewards, and voilà—oodles of cash begin to fill your bank account. You don’t have to be a cynic to realize it can’t be that simple. Getting thousands of strangers to donate to your project or business requires the same care, preparation, and execution as any prolific marketing campaign. And that’s far from easy.
