Frequently Asked Questions

While each file is unique, our average client usually receives approvals after being submitted to lenders within a week.   Funding usually follows roughly a week after approval, but can take up to three weeks depending on the lender.

On a stated basis our best clients can apply for up to $350,000.  On a full-doc basis our best clients can get access to $500,000 or more. The amount of funding depends on several factors including time in business, type of business, and strength of owner(s) credit history.

Interest rates are typically tied to the Prime Rate. Current expected rates for non- documented clients range from 6% to 12%.  Full-document client rates range from 5% to 10%.  Most business lines of credit are for a term of three to seven years; terms vary depending on the lender.  Your actual rates may be higher or lower depending on your credit history and overall business profile.

Payments on lines of credit are typically interest-only on the amount withdrawn.  Assuming an interest rate of 7% on $100,000, your monthly payment would be $584 a month.

$100,000*.07= $7,000 (Total yearly payments)
$7,000/12= $583.33  Monthly payment

Clients can pay down any or all of the outstanding balance at any time without penalty.  Assuming you pay the line back it RELOADS and you have access to the $100,000 line again.

All clients must purchase the ScoreCard product so we can effectively determine the stability and worthiness of your business for financing.  The ScoreCard simulates the risk rating process that a bank underwriter would utilize to determine whether to recommend funding.  You certainly would not ask a dentist for a root canal without a full examination and x-rays; similarly, we need to gather facts and information on various aspects of your business in order to determine  which products will work best for your business.

No, currently your business must be based in the United States for us to obtain lines of credit.

Small business owners should be in business at least two years, have revenues annually of $100,000 or more, and credit (FICO) scores above 680. Please note that all shareholders with over 20% ownership need to apply together.  The better your personal credit and business profile the greater the amount of funding and better the interest rate. All businesses must be based in the United States

To obtain the best rates, banks require two years of tax returns both personally and from the business. By providing tax information financial institutions are able to make a more informed decision regarding your business and typically provide the best possible rate. You may still obtain financing by stating your income rather than submitting tax returns, but the terms of your loan will be less favorable.

There are also specially earmarked funds available for minority owned businesses and veterans.  Please tell the UnsecuredLine.com representative if you qualify for one of these categories.

 

The simple answer is yes. Unsecuredline.com works with a large network of national and local banks, credit unions, and non-traditional lenders to help you obtain rates and funding that meet your unique business needs. Recommending specific banks and lenders and negotiating rates is our specialty. We talk to various banks and lenders daily in multiple markets throughout the country about current rates and promotions to ensure that our clients get the best possible rates and maximum funded amounts.  We have secured literally millions in funding for our clients in each of the last several years.  Armed with recent funding data we can provide the business owners coaching and the necessary information to make an informed decision.

The quickest way to achieve your line of credit is to promptly complete and return the forms that we provide you. During the application process we will provide you with forms specific to the type of loan you are requesting. The faster we receive the completed forms, the quicker you can receive your capital.

Your unsecured line of credit is not reported on your personal credit unless you default on the line of credit.

Typically a business line of credit offers greater flexibility with payback versus the fixed payment structure of a business loan.  Business loans require a fixed payment and specified payback period. With a business line of credit the borrower can repay principle at any time without penalty, or make interest-only payments until cash flow improves.  Once the line is paid back it reloads. This is a unique feature of the business line of credit allowing you access to the same line of credit over and over again

You may still qualify if your credit score is above 680 and you have not had: a bankruptcy within the last 10 years, unpaid collections reported on your credit, tax liens, repossessions, foreclosure, property liens, or serious late payments in the last 7 years. If your credit problems are of a more recent nature we likely would have a hard time getting your business approved.

Please understand that if you do qualify based on the above criteria you likely will not be eligible for the best rates or maximum loan amount.  UnsecuredLine.com offers non-traditional alternatives to clients with scores as low as 600.  Contact our representatives for current options.

Yes, by nature you guarantee a business line of credit, but it is not secured by any real estate, asset, or collateral.  Lines of credit do not show up on your personal credit because they are actually provided to your business entity.

Yes. Depending on the time horizon since the derogatory marks were put on your report, they may not impact our ability to get you credit.

Based on your conversation with an UnsecuredLine.com loan consultant we will determine the loan programs you may qualify for. The loan consultant will then pull and analyze your credit report to determine your credit worthiness.  We do not accept outside credit reports.  Credit reports represent a single point in time; even a recent report may not provide the most recent details.
