Also called a business cash advance, revenue-based financing allows business owners to borrow money based on expected future revenue. The money is then repaid through daily or weekly withdrawals from the business’ bank account.
Debt financing is a more traditional loan product, as borrowers receive the borrowed amount in one lump sum and then make regular monthly payments until the loan amount is paid back. For business owners, debt financing comes in two forms: term loans and SBA loans.
A business line of credit works basically the same as a credit card: interest is only paid on money borrowed, and the available credit renews as the principal is paid down. Business lines of credit come with higher borrowing amounts and lower interest rates, which makes them a good financial tool for any business owner with general, intermittent capital needs.
Daycare loans are business loans that are intended for general capital needs or major investments in a daycare. Once taken out, monthly payments are required until the full loan amount is repaid.
To get a loan through the Lendio platform, daycare business owners should meet the following minimum qualifications:
Through a lending marketplace like Lendio, a single application connects you with a network of lenders, so you can quickly find the right loan option for your daycare business. A funding manager will guide you throughout the application and funding process.
SBA loans are insured by the federal government, but are fulfilled by standard lenders. Because they are insured by the federal government, lenders are able to offer borrowers lower rates and higher loan amounts. The difference between an SBA loan and a standard term loan is that SBA loans are typically harder to qualify for and can take longer to process.
Business owners should be aware that there are three types of SBA loans, each of which has a unique purpose. Microloans are for small capital needs, with loan amounts that range between $500 and $50,000. 504 loans are for large capital needs and are intended for large asset purchases, such as long-term use manufacturing equipment. Both it and the 7(a) SBA loan are available for amounts up to $5 million. The difference between the 504 and the 7(a) is that 7(a) can be used for general capital needs and does not require a major asset purchase.
